Newspaper
Alabama Media Group maintained Heritage Homes presence in newspaper advertising while continuously running a successful digital campaign.
This layered approach continued to reach the print audience, which tends to be 40+, affluent, and college educated.
Digital Display
The digital awareness campaign starts with sending the Heritage Homes message to a strategically designed target audience of potential home buyers and mobile home owners. These users are targeted with display ads on AL.com and re-messaged with display ads on the extended network, where the target audience can be reached on 97% of family-friendly websites.
To define our homebuyer intent audience, we take into account:
- Exclusive, first-party data (information collected by AL.com and affiliates that looks at what a user is reading, commenting on, and where they are located)
- We combine this with third-party data (information from outside data sources such as purchase behavior, household income, employment, etc.)
InStory Video Ads
InStory video ads are also being used in the display channel. These videos are also placed in front of the target audience while they are reading content on AL.com. While the user is already engaged, these videos appear and therefore increase the likelihood of engagement with the ad.
Search Engine Marketing
Alabama Media Group launched a search engine marketing campaign across the top search engines: Google, Bing, and Yahoo!, in three states across south Mississippi, south Alabama, and the Florida panhandle. When users make relative searches to home building in these areas, they are served a Heritage Homes SEM ad.
Alabama Media Group closely tracked performance indicators and optimized the campaign accordingly through ad copy and bidding adjustments.
Search Engine Optimization
This campaign was launched to increase Heritage Homes’ presence when organic searches are made for home builders. Appearing on page one and at the top of the page is important for clients, and this product was purchased to ensure Heritage Homes would appear where they are most likely to get clicked on organically. Partnering this with SEM made Heritage Homes top of mind when relevant searches were made.

Client Testimonial
“We have been beyond pleased with AMG over our 4 year partnership. Not only have we tripled our website traffic and doubled our sales volume, but have also seen a dramatic increase in new home contracts due to their efforts. Because AMG’s solutions have proven to be so effective, we decided not to go out for other bids because we are so confident in what they can do for us. We recommend AMG to anyone looking to propel their business to the next level.”
