Homebuyers answering office ads
- The problem
- Residential-style Meta campaigns attract families looking for flats, not companies.
- Our fix
- Campaigns target leasing searches and job titles; forms open with square feet.
Real Estate · Commercial
Raqbash markets commercial real estate across India to the people who sign leases and buy pre-leased assets: founders, facility heads and investors. We combine Google leasing search, LinkedIn targeting by role and company size, and floor-plate pages that qualify every brief by carpet area before your team calls.
Search behaviour
Commercial space is chosen by a business or an investor after a written requirement, a shortlist and several tours. Commercial real estate marketing works when it reaches the person holding that requirement and answers area, fit-out, timeline and yield questions before the first call.
An occupier starts with a brief: seats, carpet area, move-in date, budget per square foot and acceptable corridors. A facility manager in Pune may write it while a CFO in Mumbai or Bengaluru approves it. An investor asks who the tenant is, how long the lease runs and what the rent means as a yield.
Residential tactics miss both: broad Meta lead ads bring families asking about flats, while the company needing a floor never sees them. Raqbash plans around intent and role instead, with Google and LinkedIn leasing campaigns for decision makers and floor-plate landing pages that show availability and a route to a tour.
| Search | Who is searching | What they need to see |
|---|---|---|
| office space for rent BKC | An occupier with a team to house | Floors, carpet area and fit-out status |
| pre-leased shop for sale Pune | An investor comparing assets | Tenant type, lease term and illustrative yield |
| showroom space MG Road Gurgaon | A retail or showroom brand | Frontage, visibility, parking and handover date |
| office space in IFSC for fintech unit | A financial firm planning a unit | Factual building details, not approval claims |
| commercial property investment Hyderabad rental yield | An investor in research mode | How yield is worked out, with caveats |
Challenges
Commercial campaigns stall in four places, each caused by treating businesses like homebuyers.
Services
Raqbash runs five commercial real estate services that bring fewer, better-matched enquiries from occupiers, investors and brokers.
Channel playbook
For commercial space, Google leasing search comes first and LinkedIn second; the rest supports qualification, investors or brokers.
Bars show relative priority in a typical plan, not budget shares or results.
Compliance
Commercial campaigns follow the real estate rules on our parent page; these points matter most for business and investor audiences.
Commercial projects are also RERA-registrable, so registered projects carry the registration number and website of their state's RERA authority on every ad.
Yield examples are labelled illustrative, and we avoid "assured rental" offers, which risk scrutiny as investment schemes.
IFSCA regulates units in India's International Financial Services Centre, and SEZ units need approvals under the SEZ rules, so campaigns describe the building factually and never imply approvals.
Broker material asks agents to show their registration and promote only registered projects.
Guidance, not legal advice. Rules change. We design campaigns to respect the current position and ask your legal or compliance advisor to confirm anything specific to your organisation. The full set of rules we follow is on our real estate marketing compliance overview.
KPIs & timeline
Commercial marketing is measured in qualified square footage, tours and signed leases. Lease cycles are long, so early months are judged on brief quality; no outcome is guaranteed.
A typical pattern, not a promise: results depend on competition, budget and how quickly changes are approved. No one can guarantee rankings or leads.
Month 1–2
Leasing keywords, LinkedIn audiences and carpet-area forms go live, tracked into your CRM.
Month 3–4
Off-target enquiries fall away; matched briefs show which corridors and roles work.
Month 5–6
Floor-plate pages and investor content add tours and investor conversations.
Month 6–12
Signed leases link back to campaigns, so budget follows what fills floors.
India focus
Commercial demand in every Indian city sits in distinct corridors: offices in central business districts and IT parks, retail on established high streets, and financial firms in the IFSC and SEZs.
Office campaigns focus on corridors such as BKC, Gurgaon's Cyber City, Bengaluru's Outer Ring Road or Hyderabad's HITEC City, where occupiers compare buildings. Retail competes on the high streets of each city, where frontage matters more than floor plates. Warehousing in logistics clusters is a different sale, planned separately.
January–March
Occupiers often set next year's budgets before the financial year ends, a sensible window for office leasing pushes.
Ahead of Dussehra and Diwali
Showroom tenants need fit-out time, so retail campaigns start months before festive trading.
December–January and Akshaya Tritiya
Visiting NRI investors and auspicious-day buyers suit pre-leased shop campaigns.
