FAQs

What marketing services does CEA Marketing offer?

CEA Marketing offers seven services: strategic planning, digital marketing with SEO and AI search optimization, paid media, brand development, website development, video and creative production through Second Sol Studios, and Homebuilder Studio, a homebuilder CRM with 7 AI agents. Clients can hire us for one service or the full program.

Who does CEA Marketing work with?

CEA Marketing works mainly with homebuilders and real estate developers across the United States, from national production builders to regional and custom builders. We also serve ambitious service-based businesses in Tampa Bay and tourism and destination brands, all from our headquarters in Clearwater, Florida.

How can home builders use AI in their marketing?

CEA Marketing helps home builders use AI to get named in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, to answer and follow up with every lead 24/7 through Homebuilder Studio's AI agents, and to create on brand content faster. The strategy and the relationships stay human, so AI makes your team faster, not smaller.

What are the best lead generation strategies for home builders?

CEA Marketing builds lead generation for home builders on four pieces: being visible in Google and AI search, paid campaigns aimed at in-market buyers, landing pages and interest lists for each community, and fast follow-up. A lead that waits hours often goes to the builder who answered first.

How does CEA Marketing start a new engagement?

CEA Marketing starts every engagement with an audit of your website, SEO, AI visibility, ads, social media, CRM and competitors, delivered as a live presentation. For branding work, we add a recorded founder interview and a discovery questionnaire. The strategy comes first, then the creative and campaigns.
