Lead generation
Lead Generation for Builders in South Africa
Enquiries that chose you, not a list shared with four others.
Last updated
Social Agencies runs lead generation for builders and renovators across South Africa. It covers your Google Business Profile, search pages by project type and area, Facebook and Instagram ads built from your finished work, and an enquiry form that asks about budget and timing, so every enquiry is yours alone.
Meta ads
How can builders get enquiries without price shoppers?
By showing finished work and project scale up front, so clients who only want the cheapest number filter themselves out.
Facebook and Instagram ads built from your real projects send homeowners to your own site. Where it fits, Social Agencies can add Google search campaigns for the project types you want most.

Shared leads
Shared construction leads versus your own enquiries
| Shared directory lead | Your own enquiry | |
|---|---|---|
| Who else gets it | Often several other companies | Nobody else |
| What you keep when you stop | Nothing | Reviews, rankings and the enquiry list |
| What you compete on | Mostly price | Your work and your response |
The map
A Google Business Profile that shows real projects
Social Agencies sets up the categories, service areas and photos of finished jobs, then keeps it active with new projects and reviews from clients at handover.

Frequently asked questions
Who pays for the ads?
The ad budget is paid straight to Meta from your own account, so you always see what was spent. Social Agencies charges separately for running the ads.
How long does lead generation take to work for a builder?
Ads can bring enquiries within days of going live. Google Business Profile fixes can show within weeks, and search pages build over months. Nobody can honestly promise a number of leads before the ads have run.
Can you help me stop buying directory leads?
Yes, over time. The aim is enquiries from your own profile, site and ads that nobody else is paying for, so directory spend becomes optional instead of essential.
Who owns the profile and the enquiries?
You do. The profile and the enquiry list sit under your company, and Social Agencies works on them with access you grant. Everything stays with you if you ever leave.
What if I do not have photos for ads?
Then the first job is photographing current projects, before and after. Ads built from your real work are what make the right homeowner stop scrolling, so Social Agencies will not run them on stock images.
