How a Custom Home Builder TRIPLED SALES in Two Years
“We started working with iDIG in May of 2016. Since then they continue to exceed our expectations and business continues to grow. The iDIG team is courteous, professional, and very fast to respond to our requests. It is our pleasure working with them and we made the right choice in using them for all our marketing needs.”
– Jeff, Omega Homes, President
Omega Homes is a Holmes Approved Homes custom home builder/developer serving the Ottawa area. Rated as one of the top 3 custom home builders in Ottawa, Omega Homes specializes in developing modern, stylish custom homes from concept to completion.
Omega Homes had been steadily busy and growing over the years, but they were not considered a top builder based on the size and scale of their projects. Soon after iDIG was referred to Omega Homes we were engaged to take their business to the level they are now, as one of the top custom home builders in the Ottawa area.
Challenge
Omega Homes was growing slowly but experiencing difficulty creating awareness and attaining leads.
Word-of-mouth referrals only went so far. The company’s static website was more of an online brochure than a way to generate leads and procure an audience online. Omega Homes needed a better way to expand their business during a time when home-building costs were increasing and as the pandemic put pressure on everyone to limit spending.
Solution
iDIG came up with a four-pronged strategy to achieve Omega’s objectives.

- Devised a strategy to generate more leads and attract new business through content, design, and Google ads.
- Mocked up a website design fitting of the brand that educates and informs visitors.
- Enhanced the existing brand to create a more cohesive and consistent brand look and feel.
Google Ads
Part of our solution involved setting up, managing, and refining a Google Ads campaign.
- Launched a Google Ads campaign to drive impressions and website traffic to relevant audiences.
- Used Google Ads to support the growth and development of Omega’s social media following.
