Digital Growth Reinvented for Propertybuyer
Propertybuyer.com.au is a leading Australian buyers agency, offering services across major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. With over 4,500 properties purchased and 45+ industry awards, the brand positions itself as a trusted partner for homebuyers, investors, and commercial clients.
In July 2023, Propertybuyer partnered with Ideas Marketing with the goal of amplifying their digital presence and lead generation across key markets, particularly Sydney and Brisbane. With increasing competition in the buyers’ agent space, the objective was to solidify Propertybuyer’s position as the leading authority for homebuyers, investors, and expats navigating Australia’s complex property landscape.
Our initial audit revealed several growth opportunities, including under-optimised landing pages, inconsistent keyword targeting, and minimal visibility in high-intent search categories. Technical SEO issues such as slow page load times, weak internal linking, and duplicate metadata were also identified as barriers to ranking.

The Challenge.
- Differentiation in a Competitive Market: The real estate industry in Australia is saturated with numerous buyers agencies. Standing out requires a unique value proposition and consistent brand messaging.
- Building Trust with Diverse Clientele: Catering to various client segments, from first-time homebuyers to international investors, necessitates tailored communication strategies to build and maintain trust.
- Maintaining Service Consistency Across Regions: Operating in multiple cities demands a standardized service quality, which can be challenging due to regional market differences.
- Enhancing Website Engagement: The website was experiencing a low average visit duration and a high bounce rate of more than 50%, indicating that visitors were leaving the site quickly without engaging with the content or taking meaningful action.
- Optimising for Mobile Users: With the increasing use of mobile devices for property searches, ensuring a seamless mobile experience is crucial. Any lag or navigation issues can deter potential clients.
- Expanding Digital Marketing Channels: The majority of web traffic—53.32%—was coming from organic search, while other channels like paid marketing remained underutilized, highlighting the need for a more diversified and engaging digital presence.
- Leveraging Advanced Digital Tools: The site lacked engaging content formats like video, virtual tours, and prestige-level imagery, which are increasingly expected by modern property buyers seeking immersive and aspirational experiences.
Upon onboarding, it was clear that Propertybuyer’s core objective was to scale qualified lead generation while reinforcing brand credibility. We delivered a comprehensive strategy that combined:
- Advanced SEO – Fixing technical issues, expanding long-tail keyword coverage, and optimising key category and suburb pages.
- Content Strategy – Creating authoritative, user-first content targeting buyer personas across Sydney, Brisbane, and regional growth corridors.
- Link Building – Implementing a high-authority backlink program to enhance domain authority and compete in competitive SERPs. Implementing a high-authority backlink program to enhance domain authority and compete in competitive SERPs.
- PPC & Social Ads – Running precision-targeted Google and Meta ad campaigns to drive traffic from high-converting demographics.
Our Approach.
- Brand Architecture Restructuring: We restructured their brand architecture—establishing a strong master brand supported by localized sub-brands tailored to each office location. This enabled a cohesive yet flexible identity that connects with diverse regional audiences across the east coast.
- Visual Identity Enhancement: We crafted a refined visual identity featuring elevated typography, a bespoke logomark, and a distinctive colour palette of forest green, soft cream, and copper accents. The copper ribbon serves as a visual metaphor—where the coastline meets the sea—symbolizing Australia’s iconic shoreline and evoking a sense of place, prestige, and connection to nature.
- Website Redevelopment: Our marketing and web development team redeveloped key sections of the site—starting with the homepage and a series of dedicated location landing pages. Each location page was strategically optimized for Propertybuyer’s highest-priority keywords, focusing on combinations of “buyers agent” + location (e.g., “buyers agent Sydney,” “buyers agent Northern Beaches”). This ensured stronger alignment between user search intent, content relevance, and on-site experience.
- SEO Strategy Implementation: Propertybuyer was experiencing a decline in organic traffic, despite previously strong search performance. This trend highlighted the urgent need for a refreshed and proactive SEO strategy
Content and User Experience Enhancement: We introduced dynamic features such as high-quality imagery, video content, and interactive tools like virtual tours or floor plans—elements that are now expected by modern property seekers. Additionally, navigation and content structure were optimized to effectively guide users through the customer journey and highlight the value of Propertybuyer’s services.
Ongoing Marketing Support: As a key brand and marketing partner, we continue to support Propertybuyer across all ongoing marketing initiatives—ensuring consistent execution and evolving the brand in alignment with its long-term vision.
