3 enquiries a month.
A premium builder.
The wrong agency.

Nick had a genuine premium product: high-end custom homes across the Mornington Peninsula. But his previous marketing agency wasn't delivering. The website was slow, the user experience was poor, and leads were inconsistent at best.

The goal wasn't just more leads. It was the right leads. Premium home buyers are high-value, high-intent, and specific about who they trust with a $1M+ build. The marketing had to match the quality of the product.

Issues identified

  • Previous agency not delivering meaningful results
  • Website slow: page load issues from original build
  • Only 3 qualified enquiries per month
  • No professional videography to showcase premium builds
  • Weak local SEO visibility in target service areas
  • No CRM: leads not followed up systematically

Premium marketing
for a premium builder.

The existing site had good bones but poor execution. We fixed the performance issues, added professional video to elevate the presentation, and built a lead pipeline that captures and nurtures high-value enquiries from first click through to signed contract.

Videography Integration
Professional video across key pages showcasing completed builds and the construction process. Premium clients expect premium presentation. Video delivered that.
Local SEO Strategy
Long-term Local SEO targeting "custom home builder Mornington Peninsula" and surrounding suburbs. Built to compound: rankings that get stronger every month.
Google Ads (PPC)
Search campaigns targeting high-intent buyers actively researching custom builds. Budget focused on qualified traffic: people with land, budget, and intent, not just volume.
CRM & Lead Capture
Automated pipeline capturing every enquiry, qualifying leads, and triggering follow-up sequences. No opportunity slips through when you're booked out and busy.

#1 custom builder.
Booked out 6 months.

Within six months, NB Custom Builds went from 3 enquiries a month to 2 enquiries a day, a 312% increase in qualified leads. Local SEO hit #1 for primary target keywords. The pipeline did its job: Nick was booked out 6 months and turning away work.
