What this is
A CSV blueprint of campaigns, ad groups and label conventions for housebuilders running multiple live developments, plus notes on conversion actions per site.
Who it is for
In-house marketing leads and agencies structuring Google Ads for regional or national home builders.
How to use it
Copy the naming pattern into your account. Create one searchable structure per development for brand and non-brand where volume allows. Attach development labels for portfolio reporting.
Mistake it prevents
A single national campaign where one hero site spends the budget while new launches starve, with no clean cost per reservation by development.
Budgeting rule
Budget at development campaign level so a hero site cannot silently consume launch budget. Finance should see spend per development beside reservations per development.
Negatives and labels
Shared negatives at account level, exceptions at campaign level. Development labels make portfolio Looker or Sheets cuts trivial without renaming campaigns.
Conversion stack
Enquiry, appointment, reservation. Reservation primary when volume allows. Align call conversion actions to DNI pools per site.
How teams actually adopt Google Ads structure for multi-development housebuilders
Separate corporate brand from development brand and development generic search. Budget per development so launches cannot starve. Shared negatives at account level, exceptions at campaign. Labels unlock portfolio reporting without renaming. Conversion stack is enquiry, appointment, reservation. Call actions must match DNI pools. Avoid one national Performance Max asset group that blends sites.
Quality bar for google-ads-housebuilder-account-structure
Quality bar for google-ads-housebuilder-account-structure: the download must be usable without a sales call. If a colleague cannot apply it in one sitting, the artefact is incomplete. Keep British English. Strip any client residue before publishing. Link the finished internal copy back to /resources/google-ads-housebuilder-account-structure/ so updates stay findable. Review the file when your CRM stages, GA4 events or account structure change, not only when someone asks for a refresh.
