AmpiFire has published a new report for real estate professionals, comparing cost-per-lead on a variety of leading marketing channels, including PPC ads and content-based marketing.
-- The new report arrives as part of an ongoing series, seeking to break down the current state of digital marketing across industries. AmpiFire's findings show that mature content campaigns generate leads at $7-$30 per contact, while paid channels average $100-$200 across platforms—a cost differential that positions content marketing as an economically sustainable lead generation strategy for agents navigating competitive markets.

More broadly, industry-wide CPL inflation has intensified competitive pressure on agents; platform-specific costs range from $5-$25 on Facebook to $$53-$66 on Google, according to data compiled in the report. Strategic channel selection informed by benchmarking data can determine profitability over time. High-competition markets like New York City and San Francisco see average lead costs of $200-$350+, significantly higher than what agents pay in smaller markets.
The new research details a specific CPL trajectory for content marketing that challenges conventional assumptions about paid advertising efficiency. The data demonstrates a gradual month-by-month decrease in cost per lead, due primarily to the establishment of digital authority. While PPC stops generating leads the moment spending pauses, content builds compounding assets that continue producing contacts with minimal ongoing investment.
The research concludes by recommending that agents balance short-term lead generation through paid ads with long-term asset building via content marketing. The report suggests newer agents allocate 70-80% of budgets to paid channels and 20-30% to content, shifting toward a 50-50 split as business matures.
This hybrid model ensures that agents are able to connect with leads anywhere on the internet, while also ensuring that those leads are primed and pre-interested. In summation, content marketing acts as a foundation, while PPC ensures short-term growth is maintained while the content ecosystem is being established.
AmpiFire's AI-assisted platform addresses the primary barrier to content marketing adoption by reducing time and resource constraints that typically prevent agents from implementing sustained content strategies. Core capabilities include AI-assisted content creation; AmpCast AI is capable of transforming single topics into eight different formats—articles, videos, podcasts, and infographics—and distributing them across more than 300 high-authority sites.
The research report is one of many similar publications available through the AmpiFire platform. Agents seeking detailed report access and platform consultation can visit the company's resources for additional information.
