A yard sign has one job: convert a passerby's curiosity into a lead before they drive off. A phone number requires dialing later, if they remember. A QR code captures interest in the moment.

What to link to

Send scans to a mobile-optimized listing page with photos, price, and a simple contact form, not your general homepage. The goal is to answer the driver's immediate question (what does this cost, can I see inside) without extra clicks.

Design and placement

  • Place the code on the sign rider, large enough to scan from a car at low speed
  • Use high contrast and avoid glossy laminate that glares in sunlight
  • Add a one-line prompt like "See inside" or "View price & photos"

Tracking what matters

Use a unique tracked link per listing, not one generic code across all signs. That way scan data tells you which properties generate real drive-by interest, which is useful information for pricing and marketing conversations with sellers, not just lead capture.
