I love nestoria more than any other uk big property portals. we are getting lot of Click through from nestoria. Those clients spending quality time on agents web sites.
CTR more useful than email inquiry. Good luck nestoria team and Ed.

Thank you

I’m not sure I understand your question. We don’t advertise on Google (or other search engines) in the UK. So it’s hard for me to classify that as “heavily”.

The reason I would see Google as a threat for property portals (again, bear in mind that we’re not a property portal, but rather a search engine) is because G takes money directly from the marketing budgets of estate agents. Hence my question: Why should an agent advertise on a portal when he can go straight to Google? If I were in the senior management at a large portal this is something I’d be giving a lot of thought to. If I were an agent, I’d be experimenting with Adwords, as indeed many agents already are.

best,
Ed
