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 Gravity and IOLProperty ?
There are 3 ways of getting your listings onto g:
Plan A - Direct Interface
This is our preferred method for importing your listings.
Your web developer creates a simple text file containing all your listings' data
and we automatically add, remove and update your listings based on that content. This route is free, but note that it must still meet the inclusion criteria outlined in Plan C below.
The file is quick and easy to develop, usually taking between 3 - 8 hours depending on the complexity of your system and
the experience of your web developer.
Note that South Africa's larger real estate web service providers (such as Cyberagent, Myproperty/Entegral, Webbox, SA Hometraders, AllSA, Datatrac)
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 - again for free and with no effort on your part.
Confirm with your website provider if they have the Gravity feed option available.
|
Plan B - Manual Upload 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 inclusion criteria below, 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 - Webcrawler
| We send our robot to index the listings directly from your website. Unlike Plan A, this model may incur a setup and monthly fee, mail contactg@g.co.za for more information.
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.
|
Priority Indexing
Normally your listings are refreshed/updated in a 48 and occasionaly 72 hour cycle.
If you would like your listings updated daily, there is a paid service available - 'Priority Indexing'.
Pricing is based on the number of listings being updated - see below. |
For plans A and C, email your website address to contactg@g.co.za
