Why would I want my Listings on g ?
1 Exposure for Your Listings, and great exposure at that. g is popular with our visitors because of its 3 key differentiators - it is very big, very fast and very user-friendly. This translates directly into referrals to your listings - every month our users generate at least 100 000 click thrus.
In terms of the quality of exposure, we target our marketing to South Africans (since only 2% of all sales in SA are to foreign buyers) looking to buy residential property. Targeted marketing ensures we don't get a lot of casual browsers. Most visitors keep coming back until they've found the property they want and each visitor to g typically views 24 pages. g is sticky !
3 ZERO effort on your part. You don't have to manually enter or change any of your listings on g - this is done automatically by "g-wiz" (our robot) every time it visits your site.
4 For most estate agents using g - the service is Absolutely Free. Check the available options below.
5 Brand Exposure. On average we display a listing 10 times per referral we send through and each time we display a listing, it is done so with your agency's name.
2 Traffic and Referrals to your site. All properties are presented with a link to the details page on your site where users can get further information about your listing. Once visitors have reached your site, they are free to browse through other listings and pages on your site as they wish.
This implies that as g grows, so does the exposure and brand strength of your site as we refer more and more visitors.

How do I get my listings on g ?
There are 3 ways of getting your listings onto g:
Plan A - Webcrawler
We send our robot to index the listings directly from your website. There are basic inclusion criteria that must be met:
1 The most important characteristic of a site is the quality of the listing information it provides. Sites that are missing key listing information (e.g. price, suburb, pictures etc.) will likely not be added.
2 In order to prevent duplicate listings, we only scan one site per franchise. This site should be the official or the main site for an estate agent company / group / franchise.
3 The site must have a minimum of 100 active listings.
4 The site must be database driven i.e. the pages are dynamic. Sites with search facilities are almost always database driven.
5 The site should be search engine friendly.
5 This model may incur a setup fee, mail contactg@g.co.za for more information.
Plan B - via Property-South-Africa.com
We added this method to accommodate agents who do not have their own website. However, if your site does not meet the above inclusion criteria, you can also use this method to get your listings onto g. In this model you sign up as an agent on property-south-africa.com and enter your listings onto the property-south-africa.com system. We index property-south-africa.com nightly and will collect your listings from there.
Plan C - Direct Interface/API
This model works the same as Plan A, except instead of the robot indexing your site, it scans a dump file of your listings database. This API is not prescriptive and we often re-use an existing data dump your website developers have already built. As with Plan B, this method is free to agents.
South Africa's larger real estate web service providers such as Cyberagent, Myproperty, Webbox etc have already built interfaces to Gravity, so if your site is hosted by them and it is the main or national site for your franchise, then your listings can easily take advantage of this option. Ask your website provider if they have the Gravity feed option available.
For plans A and C, email your website address to contactg@g.co.za
