Search Engines and Offline Marketing

Gaining competitive advantage

From the black arts of web marketing to improving your brand, we can assist in getting your website, and your company, the attention it deserves.

We don't pretend there's a big secret to web marketing. Using basic principles and ethical techniques, we've helped many companies move up in the search engine rankings in competitive markets such as Spanish property and children's clothing. We offer everything from straightforward advice to full online marketing services, including link campaigns and Adwords management. Whatever your budget, and whatever your market, we can help.

We also help with traditional ("offline") marketing - writing press releases, or working with your managers or external marketing consultants to achieve brand objectives.

Who is the kit for?

It's for estate agents who want to create their own fully-featured, professional property web site quickly and cheaply. The kit is available free of charge and uses the property information you enter at kyero.com to populate your own web site with the same properties. If you are not already advertising with kyero, you can find out how to increase your lead rate by 43% risk-free here.

You will need some experience of web site design to customise the kit for your own needs. If you do not have these skills, it can be customised by any web designer and your web site can be hosted anywhere in the world. The kit takes care of all of the 'hard bits' of building a web site allowing you to minimise the time and cost of any customisation work required. Standard customisation should cost around 200 Euros and take less than half a day from start to finish.

Alternatively you can contract us to do this for you, benefitting from our intimate knowledge of the product and our extensive experience implementing the kit for other clients. We can also provide copy writing, translation, and search engine marketing services.

What does it do?

As standard, the web kit supports properties for sale, long term rentals, short term lets, leasehold and part-ownership. Properties are fully searchable and each one is displayed with a gallery of photos, a location map and links for making an enquiry, book-marking and telling a friend about the property. The kit accommodates as many language as required, displays up to two currencies, and also includes access to a currency calculator. It allows you to create your own groups of properties or even hide specific ones from being displayed. Finally, the kit comes complete with an administration control panel that permits you to customise and configure the kit for your own use.

How does it work?

There are four main components to the web kit that work together to create a sophisticated web site for promoting properties:

At the heart of the kit is a database that contains all your property information.
Accessing the databse is a group of web pages that handle searching, listing results and showing property details and photos.
A password protected administration panel allows you to configure language, currency and navigation options.
A collection of template pages allow you to customise exactly how your web site will operate and look.

There are two versions of the web kit - one for Microsoft IIS web servers using the ASP scripting language and a Microsoft Access database, and another for Linux servers running Apache, MySql and PHP.

Key Features

Property for sale, leashold, part ownership, rent, and holiday lets all supported.
Support for unlimited languages allowing your visitors to access the site in their preferred language; you must provide appropriate translations for all textual content. Translator include files can be amended by the web developer to change main navigation and key property information labels. Property types and descriptions can be provided in multiple languages via your Kyero account.
Powerful property search engine allowing searches for properties matching a very wide range of criteria.
Multiple photos per property displayed and titled where present in your Kyero account.
Optional display of prices in dual currencies with currency symbols and exchange rate managed in the admin suite.
Property locations can be organised into regions; allowing visitors to search on an individual town or a whole region.
Rapid rebranding using header and footer include files, CSS stylesheet, and the back-end admin suite.
Extensive Navigation Builder creates menus for the sections of your website, allowing you to create headings, spacers, and links to either search forms, custom pages, or property listings (restricted by any combination of property type, geographical area, and sale/rental).
Compatible with all web browsers from Netscape and Internet Explorer versions 4 onward; differences in fonts styles and table colours exist where older browsers do not fully support CSS, but pages remain fully functional.
Screen resolution of 800x600 and higher are supported without any horizontal scrollbars.
Available in PHP/MySQL and ASP/Access versions to suit Linux and Windows hosting environments.
