A program to extend digital reach for participating listings, placing them in front of active real estate audiences across 25 curated sites.

Exec Summary

The listing stays in front of active buyers even when Zillow says no

We feed the Zillow.com URL and the Zillow app into Google Ads as behavioral models. Google maps the digital footprint of a typical Zillow user, then targets people who share those exact browsing, search, and app patterns — across 25 curated real estate and home sites. Every click goes to the listing on compass.com.

How Agents Enroll

Compass decides which banned listings to fund and which to hand off to agents

Main Components

What's included

Audience targeting

Zillow.com and the Zillow app fed into Google Ads as behavioral models. Google finds people who share the exact browsing and search patterns of a typical Zillow user.

Geographic targeting

The listing's neighborhood by default. Up to 3 neighborhoods or cities, customizable before launch.

25 curated sites

Real estate portals, home design publications, lifestyle magazines. No sports, no news.

Reporting

Agent-funded: live dashboard — impressions, clicks, CTR, updated daily, shareable link. Compass-funded: scheduled PDF every 7 days.

Distribution

Where the listing ads are seen

Real estate portals where buyers are actively comparing listings. Home design publications where people save ideas and bookmark rooms. Lifestyle magazines where the conversation is always quietly about where to live next.

Seller-Friendly Messaging

The seller conversation

When a seller asks what's being done to keep the listing visible.

"Your home isn't missing Zillow buyers. We're finding them for you. Right now, your listing is running as a targeted ad across 25 of the most relevant real estate and home sites on the internet, reaching the same high-intent buyers who were searching there. Dashboard on its way."

What We Built

Two live resources.
Both ready now.

Agent-facing · Live
For agents with banned listings
listing-continuity-agents.leadgenlab.co

Plain-language explainer of where ads run, who they reach, and what the dashboard shows. Regional teams forward this to agents. Agents can read it, share it with their seller, and sign up directly from the page.
