What does a real estate marketing agency do?
It plans and runs the marketing that turns property searches into site visits and bookings: positioning, creative, paid media, SEO, social media, websites, and the CRM and WhatsApp follow-up behind them. Softex Media does all of it for real estate projects across India and reports the work by site visits and bookings.
How much does real estate digital marketing cost in India?
Four things set the price: your media budget, how many projects run at once, how much of the funnel we manage, and how much creative you need. Most engagements are a monthly fee or a share of ad spend, plus creative, priced after scoping. The FAQ page covers budgets and contracts in more detail.
How do I choose a real estate marketing agency?
Ask five things. Do they report site visits and bookings, or only leads? Do they own follow-up and the CRM? Can they show how a booking traces back to its source? Do they build RERA details into every ad? Do they cover what your project needs, from website to launch? Vague answers on any of these are a warning.
What is cost per site visit?
Cost per site visit (CPSV) is what a campaign costs divided by the site visits it produced. It sits between cost per lead and cost per booking, and shows whether leads are turning into buyers who actually see the project. Softex Media reports every campaign by cost per site visit and cost per booking.
Do you work with channel partners and brokers?
Yes. Real estate is sold by developers, brokerages, marketing teams and mandate holders alike. Developers get campaigns and CRM reporting. Channel partners get lead generation and follow-up that stays consistent with the developer’s brand and launch communication, so buyers hear one story.
Our RERA registration is pending. Should we wait to start marketing?
Wait to advertise, not to prepare. A project that needs registration can’t be advertised, marketed or booked until it is registered, and that includes pre-launch and EOI campaigns. Positioning, creative, landing pages, tracking and CRM set-up can all be ready, so the campaign starts once the registration number is issued.
What is the difference between a lead and a qualified lead?
A lead is anyone who submits an enquiry. A qualified lead also matches the project on budget, location, timeline and intent. Reporting only leads rewards volume. Reporting qualified leads shows which sources bring buyers worth a call, and that is what the WhatsApp questions and CRM scoring are built to find.
How does WhatsApp automation help with follow-up?
It answers a new enquiry through the WhatsApp Business API, asks the qualifying questions, offers site-visit slots and sends reminders, then hands the conversation to a salesperson with the answers attached. Your team spends its calls on buyers who are ready. Opt-in and approved message templates apply.
What is booking attribution?
Booking attribution traces each booking to the campaign, ad and lead source behind it, through the CRM. Without it, a report can say what generated leads but not what generated buyers. It needs consistent tracking on ads and pages, and site visits and bookings recorded in the CRM against the original lead.
Do you build websites as well?
Yes. Website development is one of our eight practices: project microsites, landing pages, CRM and WhatsApp integration, and maintenance. Building the site and running the campaigns together means tracking is in place before launch, and each enquiry reaches the CRM with its source attached.
How long does it take to see results?
Lead flow and lead quality show first, because ads and follow-up can be measured as soon as they run. Site visits and bookings take longer and depend on the project, the price point and how quickly your sales team follows up. SEO builds more slowly than paid media. We agree what to review, and when, after scoping.
Should we hire an agency or build our own marketing team?
Decide by what the project lacks. A company’s own team knows the inventory well, but rarely covers media buying, SEO, web development, WhatsApp automation and CRM tracking at once. A common split keeps sales with your team and brings in an agency for the funnel around it. We work alongside your sales team, not instead of it.
Which cities do you work in?
We work across India, with depth in Pune, Mumbai and the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Gurugaon. Each city has its own buyers, micro-markets and RERA authority, so campaigns are planned city by city. Projects elsewhere run on the same system.
