Google's
business is connecting searchers as quickly as possible to
the information and product they are looking for.
Have you
got something to sell - like a house? At Google Base
you can easily post your advertisement and content and make
it searchable on Google. In fact, if your content isn't
online yet, Google Base will put it online - for free!
When you
post your item to Google Base, you'll also describe it with
attributes - which will help people find your item quickly
when they do a Google search. Google users are looking for a
variety of information - home listings, comparable pricing,
as well as locating an agent or broker in their area.
Google delivers their users to the experts in the field who
can provide the most useful answers... you!
You can submit online and offline content to Google Base
with either their standard web form or, if you have more
than 10 items to submit, via their bulk upload options.
When you submit information via the web form, you can attach
up to 15 files (not to exceed 20MB of total size) in formats
such as PDF, Word Perfect, Microsoft Excel, Text, HTML, XML,
Rich Text Format and more.
Google
Base has special detailed instructions for real estate
listings. Realtors and Brokers can quickly and easily upload
their listings to Google Base to give their listings more
exposure by putting them where they can be found by anyone
who does a Google search.
More
than 50% of all Internet searches on "real estate" and
related terms are done on Google. The majority of those
searchers are looking for listings or referrals to brokers
and agents. The important thing to remember when uploading
listings is to include as much attribute information as
possible, and to include a link to your own website.
You'll
need to create a free Google Account to use Google Base. A
Google Account lets you sign into Google Base and most other
Google services (like Gmail and Groups). Once you've created
your account, you'll be able to sign in anywhere with just
your email address and a password.
To see an example of how a Google property search works, go
to
www.google.com and enter, "Denver homes for sale" in the
search box. In your search results you'll find a link
entitled, "Find results for Denver homes for sale in
Housing search" that will allow you to seach through
Google for homes for sale in the Denver area. Your search
can be further refined by Listing Type (rent, sale,
foreclosure, etc.), Price, Property Type (condo, single
family, land, etc.), Bedrooms, Bathrooms, and Key Words.
Listing information is provided and locations are shown by
numbered pushpins on a Google map.
Putting your listing information in Goolge Base helps ensure
that potential clients can find your property and you! Get
