Many advertisers believe that adding more keywords automatically improves campaign performance.

In reality, simpler campaigns are often easier to optimize and scale.

High-Performing Example

Keywords:

Bangkok

Sale

That’s it.

This campaign can reach:

  • First-time buyers
  • Investors
  • Foreign buyers
  • Local buyers
  • Luxury buyers
  • Retirement buyers

Overly Complex Example

Keywords:

Bangkok

Luxury Condo

Near BTS

Sale

Investment

While highly specific, this setup may exclude large portions of the available audience.

The Recommended Formula

For most campaigns:

Location

+

Listing Type

Examples:

  • Bangkok + Sale
  • Bangkok + Rent
  • Singapore + Sale
  • Singapore + Rent
  • Dubai + Sale
  • Phuket + Sale
  • Pattaya + Sale
  • Chiang Mai + Rent

Once sufficient data has been collected, advertisers can test adding property types such as:

  • Condo
  • House
  • Villa
  • Land
  • Commercial Property

Housing Market Ads provides location-based and listing-type targeting designed specifically for active real estate shoppers.  

The most effective keyword strategy is usually the simplest:

  1. Select the location.
  2. Select the listing type.
  3. Launch the campaign.
  4. Review performance.
  5. Add property-specific targeting only when necessary.

This approach typically delivers the highest reach, strongest visibility, and the best opportunity to generate qualified real estate inquiries.
