The Challenge
New project launch with no digital infrastructure. Previous ad campaigns generated high lead volume but 70%+ were unqualified. No way to nurture leads post-inquiry or track which channels drove site visits.
Our Solution
TML built project-specific landing pages with virtual tours, floor plan previews, and pre-qualification forms. Google Ads were segmented by intent (research vs. ready-to-visit). WhatsApp drip sequences nurtured inquiry-stage leads to site visit bookings.
Finally — leads that actually show up for site visits. The WhatsApp sequence alone changed everything.
Full Story
The Challenge: Leads Without Buyers
Launching a new residential project in a competitive Chandigarh market means competing against developers with established brand recognition and large ad budgets. This developer had the product — a well-located project with strong amenities — but no digital infrastructure to run the launch.
Their previous project had generated high form volumes through generic ads, but conversion to actual site visits was dismal. The sales team was spending most of their day calling people who submitted forms out of casual curiosity, leaving little bandwidth to pursue genuinely motivated buyers.
Our Approach
We built the digital launch stack from scratch. Project-specific landing pages with virtual tour embeds, floor plan previews, and a transparent pricing guide created a rich pre-visit experience. A pre-qualification form asked three targeted questions — budget range, timeline to purchase, and financing status — filtering out browsing-stage inquiries before they entered the CRM.
Google Ads were structured in two layers: broad awareness campaigns targeting people researching residential projects in Chandigarh, and intent-heavy campaigns targeting searches like "book flat Chandigarh", "site visit [project area]", "2BHK ready possession". Bottom-of-funnel keywords had higher CPCs but converted to site visits at 3–4x the rate of awareness keywords.
The WhatsApp nurturing sequence was the decisive differentiator. A 6-message flow over seven days moved an inquiry from "I submitted a form" to "I have a site visit booked" — with messages including a personalised floor plan recommendation, a video walkthrough of the amenities, and a limited-availability site visit booking prompt.
Results
Monthly qualified leads crossed 200 by month seven. Cost per qualified lead fell 60% compared to the developer's previous campaign benchmarks. Lead-to-site-visit conversion tripled as the WhatsApp sequence took over what had previously been manual, inconsistent sales follow-up. Project bookings tracked on schedule with the launch sales plan.
The Challenge
- New project launch — no existing digital presence or ranking authority for the project
- Previous campaigns generated leads but 70%+ were unqualified or duplicate
- No post-inquiry nurturing — leads went cold within 48 hours
- Sales team overwhelmed with low-quality inquiries and couldn't prioritise hot leads
What We Did
- Project-specific landing pages with virtual tour embeds, floor plan gallery, and pricing guide download
- Google Ads segmented: broad awareness at top of funnel, intent keywords (site visit, book flat) at bottom
- Pre-qualification form fields filtering out browsing-stage leads before they hit the CRM
- WhatsApp drip sequence: 6-message flow from inquiry to site visit booking over 7 days
- Lead scoring in CRM: sales team sees a priority queue ranked by engagement signals
