The demand for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) is growing rapidly. Homeowners want flexible spaces, passive income, and affordable housing solutions. Yet many ADU builders are still struggling to turn interest into consistent leads and closed deals.
At Vantage, we help ADU companies improve their marketing and lead generation. We’ve seen the same mistakes repeated across dozens of businesses. If you’re building great units but not getting enough consultations, here’s what might be holding you back.
Mistake 1: Relying on Word of Mouth Only
Referrals are great, but they are not scalable. Relying on word of mouth puts your growth in someone else’s hands.
Fix: Use paid ads, Google search campaigns, and local SEO to create predictable inbound leads every month.
Mistake 2: No Follow-Up System
Most ADU builders wait too long to call leads or only follow up once. The reality is that 80 percent of sales happen after the fifth touch.
Fix: Set up a CRM with automated follow-ups via SMS, email, and appointment reminders. Better yet, use appointment setters to call every new lead.
Mistake 3: Marketing to Everyone
Trying to target all homeowners means your message resonates with none.
Fix: Get specific. Focus your messaging on key audiences like multigenerational families, investors, or downsizing homeowners looking for backyard ADUs.
Mistake 4: No Landing Pages or Lead Magnets
Sending traffic to a homepage with no clear call to action leads to wasted ad spend.
Fix: Create dedicated landing pages with simple offers like “Free Site Evaluation” or “Download Our ADU Cost Guide.”
Mistake 5: Ignoring Speed to Lead
Waiting hours or days to respond is the number one deal killer.
Fix: Contact every lead within five minutes. This is where Vantage’s Lead to Deal System makes the difference by automating the follow-up and booking consultations on your behalf.
