Citylets Listings on Google maps
Filed Under Uncategorized by thomas | Leave a Comment
Citylets listings now appear on Google Maps UK and early indications are that this is adding only a very small amount of audience to our Network reach. Will this change over time? As with all sites we distribute listings to, we’ll be monitoring their performance.
A lot of companies are claiming to have ‘partnered with’ or ’signed up’ to google which in our view overstates the relationship. Getting listings on googlemaps is via googlebase which simply takes a data feed.
As there is no direct relationship with Google there is no accountability or recourse to concerns. As such Citylets Network cannot consider them a primary partner in the way we do sites such as findaproperty or s1homes with whom there is a real and direct relationship and assurance that our customer listings will be shown. If we can’t guarantee our customers full exposure for all properties, our customers cannot pass this onto landlords so in addition to performance merit we advocate caution in the use of the google name for now and leave hype and spin to others.
