Gurugram Luxury Real Estate
Where they were stuck
Sales teams were wasting 60%+ of their time calling invalid numbers, junk leads, and accidental clicks generated by standard Meta Instant Forms.
What we set out to do
Eliminate invalid leads completely and increase the proportion of verified buyers booking physical site visits.
How we got there, step by step
Baseline Data Audit
Ran standard forms for 7 days to baseline cost-per-lead and identify exact fake lead submission patterns.
SMS OTP Verification Gate
Embedded a mandatory 4-digit SMS OTP verification step before the lead form could be submitted.
Google Search Integration
Captured active property buyers searching for 'luxury 3BHK Gurugram' and 'golf course road apartments'.
Pre-Qualified Copywriting
Stated property pricing clearly in ad headlines to filter out non-budget buyers before the click.
CRM Auto-Sync
Pushed OTP-verified phone numbers straight into sales agents' CRM with instant WhatsApp alerts.
