For Grove Properties Group, a new listing isn’t just a search for a buyer or tenant. Property AdVantage Premium advertises each property to local people on Facebook and Instagram, brings them back to Grove’s own website rather than a portal, and keeps them in an audience Grove can reach again.
Add dedicated lead campaigns, and in the 30 days to 31 August 2026 the result was 272 leads at an average of 44p each.

What's actually in it for you?
Those are impressive advertising numbers, but if you're running an estate agency, there's a more important question: what's actually in it for you? More opportunities to get your agency in front of potential future vendors and landlords. More people visiting your website, rather than simply encountering your properties on a portal. A growing audience of people who've already shown an interest that you can continue marketing to. And ultimately, more identifiable leads for your team to work.
For Grove Properties Group, that last number is particularly compelling: 272 leads in the latest 30 days at an average cost of just 44p each. Here's how the wider strategy produced them.
The challenge: most estate agency marketing starts too late
Think about the moment somebody finally decides “right, we're going to sell.” They might ask friends for recommendations, search Google, look at a couple of portals, or contact two or three local agents. At that point, everybody wants them.
The better opportunity is to become familiar before that moment arrives. Future sellers and landlords don't suddenly appear from nowhere on the morning they're ready to instruct an agent - they've probably spent months casually looking at property, following the local market and thinking about what their own property might be worth. That's the audience Property AdVantage is designed to help Grove reach: not just people who need an estate agent today, but people who could need Grove next.
The strategy: use today's properties to build tomorrow's pipeline
Every property Grove lists has an obvious purpose: find a buyer or tenant. But commercially, it can do considerably more than that. The moment a property goes live, Property AdVantage automatically builds and runs the advertising around it - no manual setup, nothing for anyone at Grove to remember - putting it in front of relevant audiences across Facebook and Instagram and driving those people back to Grove's own estate agent website. That's where the value begins to compound.
For a Property AdVantage Premium client like Grove, there are three connected stages:
1. Attract
Use property to get Grove in front of thousands of local people.
2. Build
Turn engagement and website activity into warm audiences Grove can continue reaching.
3. Convert
Use dedicated campaigns to turn some of that attention into actual leads.
One property instruction can contribute towards far more than finding one buyer - it can help build the audience from which future instructions may come.
Turning 15,200 people into 272 leads
In the latest 30-day period, Grove's traffic campaign reached approximately 15,200 local people, each seeing Grove's advertising an average of 6 times. Reach like that does two jobs at once: it builds awareness among people who aren't ready to move yet, and it sends immediate traffic to the people who are.
13,000 website visits - straight to Grove's own site, not a portal.
At approximately 2p per landing page view, that traffic isn't sitting alongside competing agents' listings on a portal. It's landing on Grove's own website, where visitors can explore more properties, its services and its local expertise.
Not everyone who clicks is ready to enquire today, and that's fine. Estate agency has a long consideration cycle, so Property AdVantage also targets people who've already shown interest. During the same 30 days, a warm audience campaign reached a further 5,200 people, producing another 2,900 website visits at the same 2p cost. Instead of “advert → click → gone”, Grove is building “advert → visit → audience → retarget → return → opportunity.”
272 leads at £0.44 each - 363 since launch, at the same cost.
Reach and traffic only matter commercially once some of that attention becomes something the team can work. Not everybody will become a client, but estate agency is a numbers game: the more relevant local people Grove attracts, nurtures and converts into genuine prospects, the more opportunities its negotiators have to create conversations and future business.
What's in it for the agent: real, identifiable people your team can actually follow up - not just clicks and impressions.
Eight touches before they're ready to sell
Since launching, Grove has reached approximately 21,000 local people, seen an average of 8 times each. That frequency is easy to skip past, but it matters.
Instructions aren't normally won after one advert. People notice the boards, recognise the name, see properties on Facebook, visit the website, and encounter the brand again - each exposure building a little more familiarity long before they're anywhere near ready to move.
What's in it for the agent: recognition before the valuation appointment even happens. When three agents are invited out to value the same property, the one that already feels familiar starts with an advantage the other two don't have.
Building an audience Grove can keep using
Portals remain hugely important to estate agency - this isn't an argument for leaving them, it's an argument for building something alongside them. When Property AdVantage brings people to Grove's website instead, Grove gets to develop that relationship within its own digital ecosystem - and because that website is also built on Estate Apps, the traffic arrives on a platform designed specifically around estate agency, where a buyer who's also a vendor, or a tenant who's also a landlord, can keep exploring Grove's wider offering.
That audience doesn't disappear once a property sells - and none of it needs anyone at Grove to run it. Marketing tends to happen when somebody finds the time, and then the phones ring, a valuation comes in, or a sale starts wobbling, and it gets pushed to tomorrow. Property AdVantage removes that dependency by design: it runs from the property data that's already there, with nothing to schedule or remember.
Grove also uses Estate Apps' Google Business Profile automation, which turns relevant website activity into Google Business Profile content automatically - solving the same consistency problem from a different angle.
What's in it for the agent: consistent marketing running in the background, whether or not anyone on the team remembers to press a button.
Why Grove's results matter
The headline figure is 272 leads in 30 days at 44p each. But the system behind it is the more valuable story. Grove isn't simply buying leads - it's simultaneously:
- reaching thousands of local people
- repeatedly exposing those people to the Grove brand
- generating thousands of visits to its own website
- building warm audiences from previous engagement
- bringing those people back again
- converting a proportion into identifiable leads
Each part strengthens another, and the marketing doesn't have to start from zero every month.
The question for other agents
Most agencies already have the raw materials Grove is using - properties people want to look at, local market knowledge, a website, and years of contacts. The question is what happens to that attention: does somebody look at a property once and disappear, or are you building an audience you can keep marketing to? Somewhere among today's browsers are tomorrow's sellers.
272 leads at just 44p each.
That's what's in it for the agent.
