THE CHALLENGE

Where the Client Started

Taylor Morrison operates at national scale, serving homebuyers across numerous U.S. markets and communities.

 

For a large home builder, paid digital marketing has to operate across a highly diverse audience.

 

Different markets have different buyers, communities, price points, competitive environments and levels of purchase intent.

 

The challenge was not simply to generate more advertising traffic.

 

Taylor Morrison needed a paid acquisition strategy capable of reaching qualified prospective homebuyers, identifying audiences with stronger purchase intent and efficiently generating opportunities across multiple markets.

 

Because purchasing a home is a high-value decision, the quality of each lead was particularly important.

KEY CHALLENGES

Large-Scale Audience Acquisition

Taylor Morrison needed to reach prospective homebuyers across numerous geographic markets and communities.

Long Purchase Journey

Homebuyers typically research extensively before contacting a builder, making audience targeting and repeated exposure particularly important.

Multiple Geographic Markets

Campaigns needed to remain relevant across different cities, communities, buyer demographics and housing markets.

Lead Quality

Generating volume alone wasn't enough. Paid campaigns needed to produce qualified prospects with genuine interest in purchasing a home.

THE OBJECTIVE

What We Set Out to Achieve

Sunstone Digital Tech’s objective was to strengthen Taylor Morrison’s paid digital acquisition through targeted Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns.

The goal was to:

PRIMARY GOAL
Build a scalable paid acquisition system capable of generating more qualified homebuyer opportunities across Taylor Morrison’s markets.

THE STRATEGY

Our Approach

Sunstone Digital Tech developed a paid-media strategy centered on Google Ads and Meta Ads, using each platform for a specific role within the customer-acquisition process. 

GOOGLE ADS

Google Ads was used to capture active homebuyer demand from people searching for new homes, communities and related opportunities.

META ADS
Meta Ads was used to reach and re-engage prospective buyers through targeted audience campaigns, interest targeting and retargeting.
AUDIENCE TARGETING
Campaigns were segmented around geographic markets, buyer characteristics and demonstrated purchase intent.
CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION
Campaign performance was continuously analyzed to improve targeting, lead quality, conversion performance and advertising efficiency.

The strategy was built around one central principle:

 

Reach more of the right homebuyers—not simply more people.

01 — GOOGLE ADS

Google Ads campaigns were designed to capture prospective buyers actively searching for new-home opportunities.

Objective: Capture active homebuyer demand and connect Taylor Morrison with prospects already researching new homes and communities.

KEY WORK:

02 — META ADS

Meta Ads campaigns expanded reach beyond active search behavior by placing Taylor Morrison in front of relevant prospective-homebuyer audiences.

Objective: Expand reach among relevant prospective buyers and create additional opportunities for engagement throughout the homebuying journey.

KEY WORK:

03 — AUDIENCE TARGETING

Audience quality was central to the paid acquisition strategy.

 

Rather than treating all traffic equally, campaigns were optimized around audiences demonstrating stronger potential to become prospective homebuyers.

Objective: Direct advertising investment toward audiences most likely to become qualified homebuyer opportunities.

KEY WORK:

04 — RETARGETING & DEMAND CAPTURE

Because home purchases involve extended research, retargeting provided an opportunity to reconnect with prospects who had previously demonstrated interest. 

Objective: Keep Taylor Morrison in front of prospective buyers as they continued researching their home purchase.

KEY WORK:

05 — CONTINUOUS CAMPAIGN OPTIMIZATION

Paid acquisition was treated as an ongoing performance program rather than a set-it-and-forget-it campaign.

Objective: Continuously improve the quality, efficiency and volume of paid acquisition.

KEY WORK:
