The first thing you need to do is make sure you have CT Leads Pro installed and activated, it comes preinstalled with the setup wizard for Real Estate 7 but recommend double-checking.
Require Users to Register to See Listings
One of the best ways to generate leads is to require people to register to view listings, this can be done via your WordPress admin > Real Estate 7 Options > Listings > Require Users to Login/Register after X amount of Listing Views? (admin screenshot), make sure you enter a number in “Number of Listing Views” as well, a good standard is 4, and keep in mind this will persist a login/register modal for every page view after they hit that limit.
Utilize our Lead Generation Service
With our Lead Generation service, we’ll drive high-quality buyer or seller leads to you, via optimized & managed Facebook ad campaigns, targeted for your specific tags and geo.
Build Landing Pages for SEO
What are visitors seeing when they arrive at your site? Your first thought is your homepage, but you’re missing a major opportunity to personalize the home buyer/seller journey with custom landing pages.
Creating and using landing pages for:
- Communities & Neighborhoods — (example)
- Home Valuation Requests or CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) — (example)
- Pocket or Exclusive Listings — (example)
- First Time Home Buyer Guides

- Pre-Filtered Listings Search — (example)
These can all easily be customized by using our prebuilt templates or creating your own with Elementor and the plethora of custom modules included, we also offer Elementor Design Services if needed.
