Listing and ranking of ads
Understand how your properties are integrated, ranked and displayed in the Charming Properties search engine, as well as the role of updates and features.
A page especially useful for real estate professionals
Real estate agencies, sales agents, brokers, and notaries will find the main search engine organization rules here. Private property owners can also refer to it, but the software or gateway update mechanisms are primarily relevant to professionals.
How an ad appears in the results
Publication approved
An advertisement appears in the search engine after integration on the portal and subject to compliance with the applicable publication criteria.
Default ranking
By default, ads are sorted by publication date: the most recent appear at the top of the list.
Gateway update
When a professional advertisement is modified in the real estate software, the next time the gateway passes, it moves up in the ranking by date.
Research & promotion
Visitors can refine their searches and certain listings may benefit from specific highlighting.
The most recent announcements appear first
By default, the search engine displays ads according to their publication date. Therefore, a newly published ad is positioned before older ads in this sorting mode.
Visitors can, however, modify their search and use other sorting or filtering criteria.
The updates bring up an announcement
For professional accounts using a gateway, a change made from the real estate software is taken into account the next time the gateway is used.
In the current operation of the portal, this update results in the ad automatically moving to the top of the ranking by date, without any specific paid option.
SEE COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE & GATEWAYSRanking is only one part of visibility
Visitors can filter results according to several criteria. A property's visibility therefore also depends on its location, category, price, and the search parameters used.
Some ads may be featured
Natural search engine ranking and editorial promotion are two different mechanisms.
An advertisement may be given a specific presentation or featured prominently in order to strengthen its presence in certain areas of the portal, independently of the standard sorting of results.
