It’s no secret that the real estate industry is constantly evolving. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, property management companies and independent landlords realized the importance of providing up-to-date listings online and using specialized software to run their businesses.
However, thanks to accelerating digital consumer trends and the COVID-19 pandemic, tenants and renters now fully expect to find a high number of self-serve options on the web when it comes to their rental properties, such as the ability to extend contracts or make rent payments online. And they expect these experiences to be mobile-friendly and easy to find on the web.
The following blog post outlines how website builders (like Duda) help property management software providers keep rental properties full and increase the transactions your SaaS company can monetize.
HOW Property MANAGEMENT PLATFORMS CAN INCREASE CUSTOMERS & MAXIMIZE MONETIZABLE TRANSACTIONS
There are a few key areas in which property managers and rental companies are looking to make improvements when it comes to their online presence. SaaS companies that serve these verticals and want to capitalize on this increased interest in their digital products and services should address these customer needs as soon as possible.
The three main areas of innovation for SaaS companies to focus on are:
- Better search visibility — Consumers regularly search online via Google and other large search engines to find short- and long-term property rentals. However, few searchers will look past the first search engine results page (SERP). Helping your customers achieve higher search rankings increases their revenue and monetizable transactions with your proprietary software. It's a complete win-win.
- Improved end-customer experience — At this point, the vast majority of consumers expect an excellent experience when engaging with any kind of business or organization online. Property managers need beautiful, robust websites that are seamlessly integrated with all of the tools they need (like your technology solution) to fill their vacancies and enable renters to pay online.
- Easy online presence management — Odds are most property managers, independent hoteliers and campground operators are not tech-savvy web professionals that have the time to manage numerous online profiles and tools. Whenever possible, the goal of SaaS companies should be to consolidate online presence management features and offer customers a streamlined experience. For example, if a property manager updates the listings inside property management software, these items should also update automatically on any corresponding pages of their website.
