Home Builder
Epcon Communities, a national homebuilder, sought to improve both the volume and quality of leads while lowering cost per lead (CPL). The company tested two strategies: one using broad targeting with heavy reliance on platform automation and another focused on more refined targeting and segmented audiences aligned with local market dynamics. The broad strategy significantly reduced the number of leads, creating inefficiencies and inflating CPL. Epcon needed a more data-driven approach to generate high-intent leads that convert efficiently.
In order to achieve exceptional results, different approaches must be approached.
01 Focused Targeting and Precision Audience Segmentation
Red Olive relies heavily on refined targeting and segmented audiences that have a high level of intent to convert into leads. We used this strategy for epcon to run against the broad targeting strategy. Red Olive’s strategy focuses on the most relevant, bottom funnel keywords on search and targeted audiences on Meta.
Refined targeting and segmented audiences with high intent to convert.
For Epcon, this approach was tested against a broad targeting strategy.
The focus is on bottom-funnel keywords in search and targeted audiences on Meta.
02 Microsite Landing Page for Improved Conversion Rates
The standard execution of a landing page does not include content to drive quality leads. This means that most of the time, a ‘landing page’ is no more than a short page with a form on it. These types of pages are not sufficient in qualifying visitors, hence they lead to a large volume of unmotivated leads that clog the pipeline. Red Olive’s approach to a landing page is more thorough. We make the effort to understand the pieces of content that matter most to our target audience and pull those out of various sections or pages from the client’s website. By consolidating all those items into one place, our page visitors find the most relevant information and are motivated to take the next step either through a form submission or a phone call.
Standard landing pages are usually just short forms that generate unqualified, low-quality leads.
Red Olive builds more thorough landing pages by pulling key content that resonates with the target audience.
This consolidated approach motivates visitors to convert through form submissions or phone calls.

Hi, I'm Derek, the General Manager of Adam's Moving Service. For nearly two years, we have partnered with Red Olive to handle our SEO and Paid Ads management services, and they have been truly exceptional!
We have worked with various SEO companies before, but Red Olive is first class. With them, we never feel like we're being left in the dark or given generic information. Their team consistently provides us with performance reports, fresh content, and innovative strategies to enhance our rankings, branding, and online presence. Special shout-out to Ashlyn, our Account Manager, who always goes the extra mile to ensure that we are satisfied. She's truly amazing, and we couldn't imagine working without her.
We also recently asked Red Olive to help improve our website and they designed and built us a new one from scratch. It's incredible! Without a doubt, they are the best partners we have ever had.

Love Red Olive. They handle so much of what we don’t have time or expertise to handle. If you’re going to spend marketing dollars it’s well worth having someone like Paul to make sure you get the best bang for the buck. I like the frequent updates too.

I have been working with Justin and Red Olive for over 10 years. From the logo designer, to the website developers. and to the other staff that got us business cards…They have all been professional, creative, and responsive to our needs.
Our initial investment in 2011 to create a logo and website was more expensive than others we looked into, but the recommendations we received and the website examples we reviewed, SOLD US! Their reputation proceeded them then and continue to do so now. After working with them for all these years, we have never looked back! We still even pay a little extra for business cards, because our employees like them so much. Others who originally recommended Red Olive to us say the same thing.
I have been so happy with our website. Because our site was developed to be self-maintainable, we easily gained the value and then some from our initial investment. There have been some small maintenance items over time that have had to be assisted with us and it has cost us a little more lately than maybe a smaller individual contractor would charge. However, because technology is much more advanced since then, we are now going back to them for the next 10 years. Contracts with Red Olive set expectations clearly up front, which we appreciate. Red Olive truly set us both up to have successful partnership. I really mean it when I say, "Thank you so much for all that you have done for our organization – It has made a big difference in fulfilling our mission and for helping our clients. We look forward to our new upgraded website."
