Best Keywords for Real Estate Google Ads Campaigns
In Google Ads, the right keywords mean the difference between getting high-intent buyers and wasting budget on curious browsers. Real estate buyers are actively searching, so your keyword strategy should focus on location, intent, and property type.
Here’s how to choose the best-performing keywords for your next real estate Google Ads campaign.
π― 1. High-Intent Buyer Keywords (Transactional)
These are your most valuable keywords — buyers searching with the intent to take action.
Examples:
-
Buy 2BHK apartment in [City]
-
Flats for sale in [Location]
-
Ready to move apartment in [Area]
-
Luxury villa for sale in [City]
-
3BHK flat under 1 crore [City]
-
Property investment in [Area]
π Use phrase or exact match to avoid irrelevant clicks.
π‘ 2. Location-Based Keywords
Hyperlocal targeting helps you show up when users are looking in a specific neighborhood, sector, or locality.
Examples:
-
Apartments in Sector 150 Noida
-
Flats in Bandra East Mumbai
-
Villas in Whitefield Bangalore
-
Studio apartment in Koramangala
-
Property for sale near [Landmark/School/Metro]
π§ Use these with geo-targeted ad settings for maximum ROI.
π§πΌ 3. Commercial Buyer & Investor Keywords
If your target audience includes investors, NRIs, or businesses, tailor your keywords accordingly.
Examples:
-
Commercial property in Gurgaon
-
Office space for sale in Noida
-
Retail shops for sale in Delhi
-
Property with rental income
-
NRI property investment in India
πΌ These usually have a higher cost-per-click (CPC), but also a higher return on investment (ROI).
π ️ 4. Project/Builder/Brand-Based Keywords
Capture buyers looking for a specific project or developer name.
Examples:
-
Godrej Flats in Pune
-
ATS Projects in Noida
-
Prestige Villas Bangalore
-
DLF New Launch Gurgaon
-
Lodha 3BHK Mumbai Price
π Bid on your own brand if you're a builder. Consider bidding on competitor brands (carefully) to capture their traffic.
π 5. Long-Tail Keywords (High Conversion)
Long-tail keywords bring lower competition and more qualified leads.
Examples:
-
2BHK flat near Hinjewadi IT park
-
Gated community villas in Hyderabad
-
Affordable apartments in New Town Kolkata
-
Ready to move 3BHK in Kharadi Pune
-
New residential projects in Thane West
π§ Use Google’s Keyword Planner + ChatGPT for inspiration.
π± 6. Mobile-Friendly Keywords (Voice Search Style)
In 2025, many searches happen via voice. Optimize for natural-sounding queries.
Examples:
-
“Flats for sale near me”
-
“Which is the best area to buy property in Gurgaon?”
-
“Affordable homes in Bangalore for family”
-
“3BHK under 80 lakhs in Hyderabad”
π️ Include these in your campaigns using broad match modifiers or phrase match.
