Pelago

Pelago is a real estate agency in Malta. M7Alpha provides its digital marketing and social media management, looking after how the agency shows up online on an ongoing basis. This case study explains what digital marketing and social media need to do for an estate agency, and why many agencies choose to hand this work to a specialist team.

What does an estate agency need from social media?

An estate agency needs social media to keep it visible and trusted between the moments when people are actively buying, selling or renting. Property decisions take time, and people often follow an agency for a while before they get in touch.

For most agencies, social media has three jobs:

• Show what is available: present properties clearly, with good photos and the key facts people look for first.
• Build trust: show that the agency is active, professional and knows its market.
• Win instructions: remind property owners that the agency can sell or let their property too.

What does M7Alpha do for Pelago?

M7Alpha provides Pelago’s digital marketing and social media management. That means the agency has a team at M7Alpha looking after its online presence, so the people at Pelago can spend their time with clients and properties rather than on planning and publishing content.

Why does consistency matter in property marketing?

Consistency matters because buyers, tenants and property owners judge an agency on how regularly and carefully it presents itself. An agency that posts often, in a recognisable style and with accurate details, looks like one that will handle a sale or a letting with the same care.

Each audience is looking for something different:

What can other estate agencies learn?

Treat social media and digital marketing as a steady, long-term channel, not something to do only when a new listing arrives. The agencies people remember are the ones that show up regularly and look the same everywhere.

That consistency also matters for AI search. People now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity which agency to use, and in our own tests, when asked about a specific business, ChatGPT pulled facts from the business’s own website, LinkedIn and press coverage. Clear, consistent details across every channel make an agency easier to find and recommend. Our article on choosing a social media management agency in Malta covers what to look for.

Frequently asked questions

Who manages Pelago's social media?

M7Alpha Creative Studios, a web design, development, branding and digital marketing agency in Żurrieq, Malta, provides digital marketing and social media management for Pelago, a real estate agency in Malta.

What should an estate agency post on social media?

A good mix includes new properties with clear photos and key details, properties that have sold or let, useful advice for buyers, tenants and owners, and posts that show the people behind the agency. The aim is to look active, knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Should an estate agency manage social media in-house or outsource it?

Agents are busiest when the market is busiest, which is exactly when social media tends to slip. Many agencies hand it to a specialist team so posting stays consistent while agents focus on viewings, valuations and clients.

How often should an estate agency post on social media?

Regularly enough to stay visible, at a pace the agency can keep up week after week. A steady, reliable rhythm usually does more for trust than bursts of activity followed by long silences.
