Connect your website so listings arrive by themselves

ListingMate reads your agency's website, you tick the listings to keep, and it checks your site every day from then on.

Step 1: Open Connections. The first card is Your website.
Step 2: Type your address under Website address, for example youragency.com.au.
Step 3: Press Find my listings.
Step 4: Wait while it reads. The first look can take up to a minute, and a large site can take several minutes. You can leave the page and come back.
Step 5: When the list appears, tick the listings to keep. Tick all and Untick all are at the top.
Step 6: Press the button at the bottom. It says how many listings you are keeping.

The listings you ticked are brought in and checked on your website every day. New listings that appear on your site later are picked up as well.

Note: A listing you leave unticked is not brought in later either. Only tick off the ones you never want.

What happens next

Each listing arrives with no posts. Press Start posts for this listing on the ones you want to promote. See Start the posts for a listing.
When a price drops, an open home is added, or a listing sells on your website, ListingMate drafts the matching post for you to approve.
When a listing disappears from your website, ListingMate asks you why before it changes anything.

Messages you might see

Reading stopped part way

You see: We lost contact while reading your website. Nothing is lost. Press Carry on to pick up from the same place.

Why: The page was closed or your connection dropped while your site was being read.

Step 1: Press Carry on.

You typed a portal address

You see: That is a property portal, not your agency's own website. Type the address of your own site.

Why: The address is for realestate.com.au, Domain or another portal.

Step 1: Type the address of your own agency website.

No listings were found

You see: No listing links were found on the home page, the sitemap or the for-sale pages.

Why: ListingMate could not find where your listings are on your site.

Step 1: Check the address is your agency's main website.
Step 2: Add listings one at a time for now. See Add a listing from its web address.
Step 3: Tell us your website address so we can look at why.

Your listings are drawn by a script

You see: No listing links in the page HTML. The pages look to be drawn by script (...), which we do not run.

Why: Your website builds its listing pages in the browser, and ListingMate reads the plain page.

Step 1: Use the Send to ListingMate bookmark button for each listing. See Add a listing from its web address.
Step 2: Tell us your website address.

Your listings are on a portal, not your site

You see: No listing pages on this site: its listings link out to a property portal instead.

Why: Your website sends visitors to a portal to see each listing, so there are no listing pages of your own to read.

Step 1: Add listings by hand. See Add a listing by hand.

Your website asks not to be read

You see: robots.txt asks robots not to read this site.

Why: Your website has a file telling automated readers to stay away, and ListingMate obeys it.

Step 1: Ask whoever looks after your website to allow ListingMateBot in robots.txt.
Step 2: Until then, add listings by hand or with the bookmark button.

You have started it too many times

You see: You have started this a few times in the last hour. Give it a little while, then try again.

Why: There is a limit on how often a website can be read from the start.

Step 1: Wait an hour and try again.

It is already being read

You see: Your website is being read right now. Give it a minute and try again.

Why: A read of your website is already running, perhaps the daily check.

Step 1: Wait a minute and try again.
