Meet Noah Parks: A Data-Driven Marketer with Real Estate Focus

From Chemistry to Candle Shops to PPC Strategy

Noah Parks didn’t begin his journey as a marketer. Initially on track for medical school with degrees in physiology and chemistry, a tight Christmas budget led him to create homemade candles for his large family. The results were impressive. That success led to a rudimentary e-commerce site back in 1996 before Google existed.

As digital tools evolved, so did Noah’s skills. He created websites and sold products ranging from supplements to martial arts gear. He discovered a universal truth early on: products matter, but marketing moves them.

Lessons From Decades of E-Commerce & Agency Work

In the early 2000s, Noah transitioned into agency work, traveling the world from 2004 to 2011 to help entrepreneurs understand and apply online marketing strategies. His focus was clear: teach owners how to expand reach and convert ideas into revenue.

He later worked in healthcare benefits and luxury leather goods. After a startup collapsed during COVID, he was introduced to Brandon Bateman of Bateman Collective. Impressed by Brandon’s foresight, Noah joined the firm to lead business development.

Why Real Estate Investors Must Set Clear Goals

Reverse Engineering Your Ideal Deal

Noah emphasizes the importance of starting with a clear end goal. What types of deals do you want? What geographies do you serve? How many monthly deals can your team handle?

“It’s really important to understand what you want. What are your goals? Let’s work backwards and reverse engineer a strategy for you.”

Common Planning Mistakes Investors Make

Too many investors dive into marketing without basic clarity. That often leads to wasted spend from bidding on the wrong keywords or targeting rural areas they don’t serve. Instead, they should align targeting, messaging, and budgets to real-world capacity.

Noah advises using radius targeting instead of broad counties. A smart tip? Check NASA’s Blue Marble nighttime map, target where lights (and people) are clustered.

How AI Tools Are Changing Real Estate Lead Generation in 2025

The Data Behind Smarter Algorithms

AI can only pull from what already exists. It doesn't create new data, it organizes and repackages what's available. That means real estate investors who want AI-powered platforms to favor them must publish useful, relevant content now.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok are already absorbing a growing share of search queries. Noah believes that while current motivated seller avatars aren’t there yet, future sellers will increasingly use AI tools to search for solutions.

What Google’s AI Max Means for PPC

Google is preparing to launch AI Max, an AI-driven PPC platform. While it’s still in limited beta, one thing is clear: it will reward accounts with deep, high-quality data histories.

That’s why Bateman Collective's approach is ahead of the curve. They pool anonymized data across clients, giving new advertisers the advantage of millions in historical ad spend to train AI and reduce learning curves.

What SEO, PPC & Facebook Ads Mean for Real Estate Marketing

When to Add Digital Channels to Your Funnel

Noah recommends considering digital marketing when your business consistently closes at least one deal per month. That suggests there’s process maturity and revenue stability to support inbound channels.

He advises committing four to six months to any PPC initiative. Digital channels fluctuate month-to-month, but long-term trends tell the real story. Running PPC and Facebook Ads together can balance out these cycles.

Tips for Smart Ad Targeting & Geography

Avoid generic, county-wide targeting. Use mile-radius targeting around areas with the most activity and conversion potential. Match your targeting strategy to your ideal deal type and location. Avoid targeting mobile homes or rural zones unless they fit your acquisition model.

Why Collective Data Gives Investors a Competitive Edge

Bateman Collective uses a unique bid strategy that aggregates performance data across campaigns while maintaining client privacy. This lets new clients benefit from an extensive history of high-performing campaigns.

For example, even if you’re starting with zero ad spend, your campaign might be powered by $30–40 million in collective data. That gives Google's algorithm a head start, allowing quicker and more accurate targeting.

How to Optimize Google Business Profile for Free Local Leads

Parks strongly recommends every investor optimize their Google Business Profile (GBP). It's a free and often-overlooked asset that drives inbound leads from local searches like "sell my house fast."

GBP Optimization Checklist:

• Verify the business and choose accurate categories
• Write a problem-focused business description
• Upload high-quality photos of your team and properties
• Post weekly updates or quick tips
• Ask for and respond to reviews
• Turn on messaging and respond promptly
• Match service areas with your website and listings

These steps tell Google who you are, where you operate, and what problems you solve, increasing visibility in local search results.

Why Local SEO for Real Estate Investors Still Works in an AI-Driven World

Build Evergreen Pages That Solve Seller Problems

SEO is not dead. It's evolving. Google and AI tools still rely on structured, relevant, and localized content. Build pages that target common pain points:

• Selling inherited property
• Dealing with tax liens or code violations
• Divorcing and needing to sell quickly
• Landlords ready to offload rental properties

Use plain language, feature real stories, and include clear calls-to-action.

Don’t Skip Internal Linking or Local Proof

Ensure your site structure includes internal links that guide visitors and bots through your content. Incorporate local references and images whenever possible.

Top Mistakes to Avoid With Digital Marketing

• Impatience: Some investors expect immediate ROI. Commit for 4–6 months to give algorithms time to learn.
• Broad Targeting: Casting too wide a net often leads to poor leads. Use precise geographic and property-type filters.
• "Toe-dipping" Into PPC: Running small tests produces unreliable results. Set a real budget, monitor progress, and commit.

Real Estate Marketing Strategy: Data, Patience & AI-Driven Consistency

Digital marketing works, but only with consistency and clarity. The investors who win understand their goals, publish great data, and give AI systems time to learn and optimize.
