Prepare the advertisement, website page, form, and response responsibility together before approving spend. Judge the test by received inquiries and relevant conversations. For a seller campaign, start with your seller-service page. Explain your representation process and the next step you can fulfill. Use the campaign brief below to connect that answer with an advertisement and a traceable request. This is a proposed planning method for US real estate agents. The worksheets describe decisions to make with your campaign operator and website maintainer. They make no forecast about inquiry volume or cost. ## Write the seller request before choosing the creative Choose the task you want a homeowner to request. Consider a conversation about preparing a property for sale, understanding your listing process, or discussing a proposed move. Select a service you provide and describe what happens after the request. If you propose a valuation offer, specify who prepares it and what information they need. Label the output accurately. Remove an instant-value promise when your process requires a later conversation or property review. Use this brief to prepare the campaign. The entries are planning requirements, not a standard advertising package. | Decision | What to put in the brief | | --- | --- | | Requested action | The seller's question and the service you will provide | | Service area | The actual area you serve, subject to platform targeting review | | Category review | Who checks the housing classification and permitted targeting | | Creative | Approved words, image or video, and evidence for each claim | | Destination | The exact website page or platform form selected | | Inquiry handoff | Receiving destination, responsible person, and reply process | | Spend and duration | Your approved limit, review date, and conditions for stopping | | Outcome | What counts as a received inquiry and a relevant seller conversation | Keep buyer and seller requests separate in the brief. For a buyer campaign, replace the seller invitation with the property question you can answer. Prepare the corresponding page and response process before using it. ## Complete housing review before approving the campaign Treat housing classification as a campaign requirement. Ask the operator to confirm the applicable Housing special ad category before configuring audiences. Keep that decision beside the proposed ad and destination. Meta's 2020 civil rights audit documents its requirement for US housing advertisers to identify a Special Ad Category and use approved targeting. Its 2023 fairness update describes restrictions on age, gender, and ZIP-code targeting for US housing ads. [Meta's civil rights audit](https://about.fb.com/br/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/07/Civil-Rights-Audit-Final-Report.pdf), [Meta's ads fairness update](https://about.fb.com/news/2023/01/an-update-on-our-ads-fairness-efforts/), checked 2026.10.14. [Meta's civil rights audit](https://about.fb.com/br/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/07/Civil-Rights-Audit-Final-Report.pdf), checked 2026.10.14. Use those sources as background. Have the operator check the current category definition and controls in the account before launch. Do not approve targeting copied from an older tutorial without that check. Review the audience, wording, images, destination, and form together. The federal advertising rule prohibits preferences or limitations based on protected characteristics in dwelling-sale or rental advertising. It covers words, photographs, illustrations, symbols, forms, and discriminatory media selection. [24 CFR 100.75](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-24/subtitle-B/chapter-I/part-100/subpart-B/section-100.75). Describe the property or service rather than a preferred type of resident. Ask your brokerage's advertising reviewer to check the campaign against applicable requirements. Retain the reviewed wording and settings with the brief. ## Choose where the inquiry will happen Meta's November 2023 lead-generation guide distinguishes instant forms from website forms. Instant forms can use information people have shared with Meta. Website forms collect the request on your site. The guide identifies full service information as a reason to consider website forms. [Meta's lead-generation guide](https://about.fb.com/ltam/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2023/11/LeadGenerationGuide.pdf). Choose the route according to the explanation your seller needs and the handoff you can support. Use the following comparison as a planning worksheet. | Proposed route | What to prepare | What to confirm | | --- | --- | --- | | Your seller page and website form | Service explanation, identity, form, privacy information, and confirmation | The exact request reaches your intended inbox or customer system | | An instant form | Matching introduction, reviewed questions, privacy information, and delivery process | The operator can retrieve the request and pass it to the responsible person | For a website route, ask the operator to review the Leads objective, website conversion location, and intended submission event. For an instant-form route, ask for the selected form and its receiving process. Meta's guide presents these choices within its lead-generation setup. [Meta's setup guide](https://about.fb.com/ltam/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2023/11/LeadGenerationGuide.pdf). Confirm the options available in your account. Specify the route explicitly when reviewing the proposed campaign. Keep platform-form requests and website requests distinct in your records. Avoid assuming that either route produces better seller conversations. Compare received requests and later outcomes using your own records. Keep cost comparisons within the same agreed outcome definition. ## Build creative from the page's actual answer Prepare the invitation and destination together. Carry the same service description into the page opening and form introduction. Remove a claim when the destination cannot explain or fulfill it. For a seller-process campaign, consider approved material that shows your preparation work. Use a process image, a permitted property image, or a short explanation of the service. Have the responsible person confirm image rights and the accuracy of the description. Write the ad around the seller's task, the answer available, and the next step. Treat this as a writing structure. Supply your own verified services and reviewed wording before publishing it. Inspect every planned placement preview. Check cropping, text, identity, and the visible action. Compare each version with the approved page. Keep unsupported transaction results, sale-price claims, and time promises out of the creative. ## Make the seller page ready for the request Open the exact destination on a phone. Read it as someone who has seen only the advertisement. Check whether the opening explains the promised service without requiring a search through the menu. Put your current identity, service explanation, and next step where the reader can inspect them. Have your advertising reviewer confirm required brokerage and license wording. Use property examples only with approved facts and permissions. Ask for the information you need to answer the request. Consider contact details, the property area, the seller's question, and their preferred reply method. Review the questions and privacy wording before using them. Explain what follows submission. Identify who responds and what they will discuss. Promise a response time only when your business can support it. Keep sensitive personal details out of campaign links and tracking labels. Give the website maintainer a separate requirement for privacy and measurement review before enabling advertising integrations. - [Build a real estate landing page around a clear next step.](/articles/real-estate-landing-page) - [Test the seller inquiry path on your real estate website](/articles/seller-inquiry-path-agent-website) - [Check your real estate website in 30 minutes](/articles/real-estate-website-audit) ## Follow a test inquiry through to receipt Before approving spend, ask the operator and maintainer to demonstrate the selected route. Use a clearly labeled test with your own contact details. Record the destination, submission time, confirmation, and actual receipt. Check that the receiving record preserves the question, reply details, and available source information. Confirm who sees it and who responds. Investigate a missing request before approving launch. Ask the maintainer to demonstrate that the intended completion event corresponds to a successful submission. Test a failed submission and a repeated confirmation view. Require an explanation when the measurement counts those as new inquiries. Keep the website test separate from a platform-form test. If both routes are proposed, inspect both handoffs. Save the failed check and repeat it after the repair. ## Review conversations alongside advertising records Use the following outcome definitions as a proposed reporting method. Agree on them before comparing results. | Record | Proposed definition | | --- | --- | | Received inquiry | A non-test request present in the intended receiving system | | Contact made | A reply or conversation recorded by the responsible person | | Relevant seller conversation | A discussion about a property-sale request your business can serve | | Appointment or later result | The specific next action documented in your business records | Keep duplicates, tests, invalid details, and unknown sources visible. Calculate cost per received inquiry from the agreed spend and inquiry count. Report it as unavailable when no inquiries were received. Compare the website receipt with the operator's advertising report. Ask them to explain differences rather than combining the counts. Retain the campaign dates, creative, destination, and concurrent changes with the comparison. Use the review to choose a defined action: repair delivery, clarify the offer, change reviewed creative, or stop the test. Reopen review when the destination, audience, or service promise changes. ## Bring the destination into your website scope Prepare your seller page, proposed campaign brief, approved material, and inquiry-test findings. Name the changes your website needs before that page becomes an advertising destination. Bring those requirements to [the real estate website page](/for/real-estate) for a written whole website fix scope. Scale With Search's work here is the website, its pages, and agreed inquiry checks. Assign advertising operations separately in your campaign brief. ## Related: Real estate - [Build a real estate landing page around a clear next step.](/articles/real-estate-landing-page) - [Test the seller inquiry path on your real estate website](/articles/seller-inquiry-path-agent-website) - [Check your real estate website in 30 minutes](/articles/real-estate-website-audit) ---- ```text .|########||. .|########||. .|########||. |##||. .||##|. |##||. .||##|. |##||. .||##|. |#|. .|#|. |#|. .|#|. |#|. .|#|. |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#. .#| .#. .#| .#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |# ...... #| |# ...... #| |# ...... #| .# ||#########| #| .# ||#########| #| .# ||#########| #| .#. |######||######|. .#. .#. |######||######|. .#. .#. |######||######|. .#. #. .##|###|##|#|######| .# #. .##|###|##|#|######| .# #. .##|###|##|#|######| .# || |##|#||||||||||||#||#| || || |##|#||||||||||||#||#| || || |##|#||||||||||||#||#| || # |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. # |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. # |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || # .#||||||||||||||||||||||||#| # # .#||||||||||||||||||||||||#| # # .#||||||||||||||||||||||||#| # || ....|||#||||||##|#|||#|#||##||||....|. || || ....|||#||||||##|#|||#|#||##||||....|. || || ....|||#||||||##|#|||#|#||##||||....|. || #. . ....|# ....#||| ||| .#||| ....#. .# #. . ....|# ....#||| ||| .#||| ....#. .# #. . ....|# ....#||| ||| .#||| ....#. .# # . ||||#| .#####|| . .#| .#||| ||||# #. # . ||||#| .#####|| . .#| .#||| ||||# #. # . ||||#| .#####|| . .#| .#||| ||||# #. .| ||||| #. |#|||||. || #. |#||. .||||| || .| ||||| #. |#|||||. || #. |#||. .||||| || .| ||||| #. |#|||||. || #. |#||. .||||| || || |.... #. ....|#. |. ...|. ....|| || || |.... #. ....|#. |. ...|. ....|| || || |.... #. ....|#. |. ...|. ....|| || #. .||||||##||||||##||####|||||||#||||||#| .# #. .||||||##||||||##||####|||||||#||||||#| .# #. .||||||##||||||##||####|||||||#||||||#| .# # .||####|###########################|. # # .||####|###########################|. # # .||####|###########################|. # # .#||||||.#.|| # |. ..# #| #|||||#| # # .#||||||.#.|| # |. ..# #| #|||||#| # # .#||||||.#.|| # |. ..# #| #|||||#| # # .#|||||| .. |# ## |#| ...#|#|||#| # # .#|||||| .. |# ## |#| ...#|#|||#| # # .#|||||| .. |# ## |#| ...#|#|||#| # # .#|||#|# .# .#| #| ##|.#..#|||||#| # # .#|||#|# .# .#| #| ##|.#..#|||||#| # # .#|||#|# .# .#| #| ##|.#..#|||||#| # # .#||||||############|######|||||#| # # .#||||||############|######|||||#| # # .#||||||############|######|||||#| # # |...||#||||||#||||#|#||||||#|||||#||| |.| # # |...||#||||||#||||#|#||||||#|||||#||| |.| # # |...||#||||||#||||#|#||||||#|||||#||| |.| # #. .. ||||# .|||##|. |#| .|| || .|||#. #| # .# #. .. ||||# .|||##|. |#| .|| || .|||#. #| # .# #. .. ||||# .|||##|. |#| .|| || .|||#. #| # .# || | ...|| ...##| | #| .|. |. ##### .. .| || || | ...|| ...##| | #| .|. |. ##### .. .| || || | ...|| ...##| | #| .|. |. ##### .. .| || || ||||| || ||||#| . |. |. |#. ||||| |#| || || || ||||| || ||||#| . |. |. |#. ||||| |#| || || || ||||| || ||||#| . |. |. |#. ||||| |#| || || .# |.....#|....|#.||||.|||##.|#|....||.#||.#. #. .# |.....#|....|#.||||.|||##.|#|....||.#||.#. #. .# |.....#|....|#.||||.|||##.|#|....||.#||.#. #. #.|||||||#############################| ||| .# #.|||||||#############################| ||| .# #.|||||||#############################| ||| .# || ##||#||#||||||#||#||#||#||##. || || ##||#||#||||||#||#||#||#||##. || || ##||#||#||||||#||#||#||#||##. || # .#|||||||||#||#|||||||||||#| # # .#|||||||||#||#|||||||||||#| # # .#|||||||||#||#|||||||||||#| # || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||||||#| || .# |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. .# |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. .# |#||||||||||||||||||||#| #. || |#||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||#| || || |#||||||||||||||||||#| || #. .######|#|#########| .# #. .######|#|#########| .# #. .######|#|#########| .# .#. |#####||||#####| .#. .#. |#####||||#####| .#. .#. |#####||||#####| .#. |# ||########|| #. |# ||########|| #. |# ||########|| #. |# ...... #| |# ...... #| |# ...... #| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#. |#. .#. |#. .#. .#| |#. .#| |#. .#| |#. |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| |#| .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. .|#|. |##||. .||##| |##||. .||##| |##||. .||##| .||########||. .||########||. .||########||.
