Website & Lead Generation

You’re posting on socials.

Builder Lookbooks

Maybe you’ve tried ads.

Paid Advertising

But if your pipeline still isn’t consistent… that’s a problem.
Because inconsistent work creates pressure. On your cashflow. Your team. Your decisions.

Most builders we speak to fall into one of two camps:

Testimonials & Reviews

You’re doing decent revenue… but still relying heavily on word of mouth

Photography & Video

Or you’re in a stop-start cycle — great at building, but short on cashflow

Either way, the result is the same.

Your pipeline isn’t predictable. And in this market, that kind of uncertainty can hold your business back.

Because it’s not about working harder. It’s about having a system that actually brings work in.

Most builders don’t have a lack of marketing problem. They have a disconnected marketing problem.

A website that looks good but doesn’t convert

Social media that’s active but not strategic

Leads coming in… but no follow-up system

Referrals happening… but nothing to scale them

Individually, these things aren’t wrong.
But without a system, they don’t work.

At Pop That, we design and run a complete sales and marketing engine for builders.

We build your marketing into a system.
One that connects how you get seen, how you generate enquiries, and how you actually win the work.

Gets you seen by the right people

Turns interest into real enquiries

Helps you convert more of the jobs you actually want

Keeps your pipeline moving without relying on luck

We don’t just
“do marketing.”
We connect the pieces so they actually perform.

Here’s how we structure it:

Illustration of the Pop That marketing framework
1.
Awareness

Getting you in front of the right clients through SEO, ads, content and email.

2.
Conversion

Turning traffic into real enquiries through high-performing websites, remarketing, and social proof.

3.
Sale Process

Helping you win more jobs with better proposals, lookbooks, WOW Packs, and credibility tools.

4.
Follow-Up & Retention

Staying top of mind with automated follow-up, reviews, and project marketing.

We’ll build the system around how you want to operate.

Whether that’s fully managed, or supporting your team internally.Either way, the focus is the same. Making it work.

Why Are Some Builders Always Busy — While Others Rely On Luck?

Most builders aren't short on effort.
They're missing a system.
This guide will show you why marketing succeeds for some builders, fails for others, and how to become the type of business that marketing actually works for.

The Builder’s Guide to Getting Better Results From Marketing, a practical guide for residential builders

Most builders focus on generating leads. The best builders build systems. Learn the practical steps that help turn visibility into enquiries, enquiries into projects, and projects into long-term growth.

Here's what we see all the time.

01

Builders are great at delivering projects and getting referrals…

02

…but they’re missing the front half of the journey — where new work is actually created.

03

That’s where the biggest opportunity is.

And it’s also where most businesses fall short.

That’s why growth feels inconsistent.

This isn't about doing more marketing. It's about better outcomes.

IN ADDITIONAL WORK

$1.4M

If your average build is $700K… Just two additional projects a year is $1.4M in additional work. That doesn’t require a complete overhaul. It often comes down to small improvements in the right places.

Conversion rate

2% → 5%

If 100 people visit your website and only 2 enquire, that’s a 2% conversion rate. If that improves to 5%, that’s more than double the number of leads. Same traffic. Better result.

And it compounds. Better leads. Better conversations. Better jobs.

You don't need to do everything at once.

Most builders start with one key area, then build from there.

01

Convert the work you're already getting

Lookbook and referral assets to help you win more of the jobs already in front of you.

02

Turn interest into enquiries

A website and lead magnet that captures and converts traffic into real leads.

03

Generate new opportunities

Lead generation campaigns designed to create consistent pipeline and quick wins.

04

Build the full system

Follow-up, CRM, reporting, and ongoing optimisation.

We’ll help you decide where to start based on your business and what will have the biggest impact first.

What this looks like in practice

FEATURED CASE STUDY

Cambridge Building

When Cambridge Building first partnered with Pop That, enquiries were inconsistent and most work came through referrals. Marketing and sales systems were limited, making it difficult to forecast future work.

We helped strengthen their sales process with a builder lookbook, improved proposal assets, clearer positioning, and a more structured approach to lead management. We then introduced targeted lead generation campaigns focused on attracting better-fit projects.

Today, Cambridge Building is booked out, with marketing campaigns able to scale up or down based on capacity.

"Before working with Pop That, most of our work came through referrals and word of mouth. Now we have a much clearer marketing and sales system, and the quality of enquiries has noticeably improved."

— Jay, Cambridge Building

Leighs Construction

Leighs Construction first engaged Pop That in 2021 to support the design of their bi-monthly magazine. What began as a single project quickly grew into a broader marketing partnership.

Over time, we supported website redevelopment, brand refinement, digital assets, and ongoing marketing initiatives to strengthen their market presence.

The result was a more cohesive and professional brand experience that better reflected the scale and quality of the Leighs business.

"Pop That quickly became more than just a supplier for us. They understood our brand, our standards, and consistently delivered work that reflected the quality of what we do."
