[Google Ads Roundup] Top 5 Performing Apartment Ads For June, July & August
At Resident360, we like to pull back the curtain and share with you what’s working now for apartment advertising. In this case, it’s Google Ads (formerly AdWords).
Here’s the 5 top performing ads from all the accounts we manage, complete with stats and a write up on why they work so well. This is from June to August. We included both search and display ads. Enjoy!
#1. Top Performing Apartment Ad In Google Search
Why it works: Location description is clearly stated in the second headline of the ad. Whether it’s Mauldin, SC or San Diego, CA, stating the city is not enough to describe where your community is located.
You don’t want prospects to find out you’re on the other side of town after they’ve clicked on your Google Ad.
For this ad, we stated a major freeway and road the community is near which gives residents an easy commute. Great location? Make sure to flaunt it!
