Entegral acquires South Africa’s most sought after SEO property domain name – launches 1st phase website

property for sale and to rent in south africa

We are very pleased to announce that Entegral has acquired South Africa's most sought after property domain: www.property.co.za

Search engines like Google put a lot of weight on domain names for ranking results, and property.co.za is therefore perfect for scoring high search rankings.
Although the property.co.za domain is currently raked in the 15th position on Google for the search done on the keyword: “property”, Entegral aims to get the website amongst the top 10 ranking positions soon.
Entegral also controls other high ranking portals, most notibly MyProperty and the aim is to get both MyProperty.co.za and Property.co.za as top ranked property portals.

“This domain will be in favour of all of Entegral’s clients”, says Adriaan Grové, of Entegral Technologies.  Entegral also controls South Africa's other top real estate domain, www.realestate.co.za which is due for a major upgrade this year.


Due to the high cost of the acquisition, www.property.co.za will later be positioned as a paid portal but promises to deliver high quality leads and a unique and fast Google-like property search experience for visitors. An agent directory will later assist South African estate agents to promote their websites and SEO rankings.

Entegral has already launched a first phase of the new portal which includes the latest property listings from clients advertising through Entegral’s listing system and GRID syndication interfaces. 

Google-like property search is here

Our first phase of www.property.co.za is up and runs on Entegral’s unique iSearch (short for Intelligent Search) functionality that allows natural language searches for property. For example, entering ‘Cape town for sale with 4 beds and 3 baths under R3m’ will quickly search for all properties matching that criteria.

Some more exciting news are to be announced by Entegral in the next few weeks which will give you even more exposure for your property listings.  Grové encourages to keep an eye on their blog, Facebook page and Tweets.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

Image
What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal l...

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Image
Property24.com, South Africa’s largest property portal owned by Naspers, has bought rival Private Property . The deal is likely to come under the close scrutiny of competition authorities as it involves the two biggest property portals in the country. Due to the impact of such an acquisition on the industry, Entegral was interested to find out what the perceived advantages and disadvantages of such a deal would be, both through the eyes of the consumer and the estate agent.   Here are the results from around 250 responses received on a survey done over a 2 day period , mostly from agents and agency owners. While the survey presents a small portion of the market (a ccording to the EAAB's latest annual report there are 19,424 registered agents and agency owners, excluding intern estate agents, in South Africa) , f eedback has been received from well-respected agency owners and agents, and we believe this gives a good indication of the current view of agents. The fear from estate ...
