The Builder Lead Podcast
Google vs. Meta Ads?
Aug 18, 20268 minS1
In this episode of The Builder Lead Podcast, Mary Anglade breaks down the differences between the two platforms and the role each plays in the home buyer’s journey. Google Ads can help builders reach people who are actively searching, while Facebook and Instagram ads can build awareness and introduce your homes to buyers before they begin their search. You’ll learn: How buyer intent differs between Google and Meta When Google Ads may be the better place to start When Meta Ads can be especially effective Why clicks from the two platforms shouldn’t be evaluated in the same way How your website and follow-up process affect campaign performance Why using both platforms can create a stronger overall strategy If you’re trying to decide where to invest your advertising budget, this episode will help you choose the right approach based on your goals, market and buyers.
Home buyers aren’t just searching on Google anymore. They’re asking ChatGPT which builders they should consider—and if your company isn’t appearing in the answer, one of your competitors may be. This episode of The Builder Lead Podcast features a recorded webinar presented by Mary Anglade, founder of Builder Lead Marketing, on how home builders and modular manufacturers can improve their visibility in ChatGPT and other AI search engines. In this practical session, Mary explains: • How AI is changing the way buyers research and choose builders • The difference between traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) • The signals ChatGPT uses when deciding which builders to recommend • Why your website, reviews, content and broader digital footprint all matter • How FAQs, pricing information, fresh content and YouTube videos can improve AI visibility • The first steps to include in your own 90-day action plan Because this episode was originally presented as a webinar, you may want to watch the video version on YouTube to follow along with the slides, examples and demonstrations. The way buyers search is changing quickly. The question is no longer simply whether they can find your website—it’s whether ChatGPT will recommend your company when they ask for the right builder.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
