call tracking

Did you know that inbound calls convert to revenue 10 times more than web clicks? Listing your new construction home communities with BDX has gotten even better with our newly added Call Tracking feature that allows your more visibility into the calls you receive off of our site.

How does it work?

BDX Call Tracking integrates tracking phone numbers onto New Home Source and Move New Homes community and detail pages, giving you greater insight into call volume as well as the actual conversations taking place.

What are the benefits?call tracking2

With BDX Call Tracking you can improve sales through constant monitoring.

  • Builders can hear what prospective customers are calling about and understand their most common questions or concerns.
  • Gain insight into how employees handle inbound calls and use recordings as an opportunity for training and messaging.

Comprehensive reporting is readily available through our BDX Live portal to help you track:

  • Total number of calls
  • Date and time of the call
  • Phone number of caller
  • Call duration
  • Recording of each call (saved up to 30 days)

These detailed analytics enable you to return missed calls, recapture lost leads and allow you to make smarter business decisions around your operations (i.e. Staffing and open hours).

What do you need to do?

Nothing! The call tracking numbers will automatically be added to all of your BDX communities at no cost.

nhs-redesignDid you know that 35% of shoppers who searched for homes on New Home Source visited a builder within a week? In March 2015, NewHomeSource.com, the #1 new home site, shattered a 15-year old record with more than 1 million unique visitors in a single month. That’s the highest traffic in a month in the site’s history – and an impressive audience, given that only 529,000 new single family homes are forecasted to be sold in 2015*.

These stats are not surprising. The authoritative and complete new home listings on NewHomeSource.com offer homebuyers access to far more builders, new home communities, buildable home plans, and spec or quick move-in homes than any other resource. And with an overwhelmingly 63% of New Home Source site visitors preferring new homes, builders are connecting with highly qualified shoppers.

In addition to world-class new home real estate listings, more than 350 inspiring and informative articles, slideshows and videos at NewHomeSource.com/ResourceCenter answer important questions that new home shoppers have. Combined, the authoritative new home listings on NewHomeSource.com and this unmatched article content on new homes have clearly established NewHomeSource.com as The New Home Authority.

Are you ready to put the power of The New Home Authority to work for you? Contact BDX at info@thebdx.com to learn more about our listing solutions.

Ad AgencySmart builders use social media – and Facebook specifically – for mission-critical reasons that drive business results. It’s critical to know what consumers are saying about you company, the homes you build and the service you provide.

Because of this, BDX is launching a new Facebook App that is available to builders listing all of their communities with BDX. Now you can include your listings on your company Facebook page with our app!

  • Your listings will show up as a dedicated app on your Facebook page
  • Visitors to your Facebook page can use the app’s geographical map or search by market area or city
  • The app has links to your communities with drilldown to your homes and plans in each community
  • The app features calls-to-action including a “request info” form and links to your website
  • All data is powered by the info you already provide to BDX
  • Email leads are delivered in the same manner as other BDX leads, with a dedicated source “Facebook SeaFB App Exrch App”

Having a vibrant social media presence protects and improves your website’s organic rank and traffic. Google places great value on social signals. The likes, shares and comments you earn – especially when you share inspiring photos, floor plans, renderings or videos of your new homes on Facebook – pay off with traffic from your posts and increased organic rank.

Facebook is a great way to crowdsource your design and marketing. Start by asking your fans which elevation they prefer, how they would build out a bonus room, or which cabinet color or style they like best. You’ll engage with prospective homebuyers and gain useful insights.

You can also elicit and share testimonials from homebuyers and to engage with shoppers and Realtors. According to Facebook Insights, 74% of adults with a college education use Facebook as well as 72% of adults who earn more than $75,000. Half of Facebook users are on Facebook, often on their mobile device, every day.  Your customers and prospects live on Facebook. Isn’t it time to reach them effectively? Make your Facebook page even more engaging by adding your listings with our new app. Contact info@thebdx.com to get started.
