Historical Meta Ads campaign data for one Alberta real estate brokerage, April 2024 – October 2026.

The Challenge

Standing Out in a Competitive Alberta Real Estate Market

Real estate is one of the most competitive categories in paid social advertising. In Alberta, brokerages and individual agents compete for the attention of the same home buyers and sellers, often in the same Facebook and Instagram feeds at the same time.

For an Alberta real estate brokerage, visibility on its own was not the goal. The business needed a steady flow of measurable inquiries from people interested in buying or selling, generated at an acquisition cost it could track and manage over time.

Without clear lead tracking, it is difficult to know which real estate Facebook ads are producing genuine inquiries and which are only producing impressions.

The Results

869 Recorded Leads at an Average $17.56 Cost per Lead

Between April 2024 and October 2026, the brokerage's real estate Meta Ads campaigns recorded 908,979 ad impressions and 10,987 clicks, a click-through rate of 1.21%.

Over the same period, the campaigns generated 869 recorded leads at an average cost per lead of $17.56.

Leads are not sales. A lead is a recorded inquiry from someone who responded to a campaign. This case study reports leads generated. It does not report completed transactions, closed sales or revenue, which depend on the brokerage's own follow-up and sales process.
