Your website is now published and working. This guide gathers everything you should do now and what you need to know from here on.
Recommended first steps
- Activate the maps. Maps work with a free MapBox key that you obtain and paste into your account. Without that key, maps won't show up.
- Load your featured properties. These are the ones that appear on the homepage.
- Create your pages and sections: "About Us," "Services," "Appraisals," or whichever ones you need. They appear in the menu.
- Configure SEO: keywords and descriptions to rank better on Google and Bing.
- Review your contact details, including your mobile number, so the WhatsApp button works.
Your site manages itself
All content is managed from your Mapaprop account, without depending on us:
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Properties | Properties |
| Homepage featured items | Featured properties |
| Phones, address, email | My Company |
| Social media | Manage Social Media Links |
| Menu pages and sections | Manage pages or sections |
| News and updates | Blog |
| Keywords and descriptions | SEO |
| Which branches show properties | Branch configuration |
| Multiple sites on one account | Multiple websites |
Everything is managed from the Website Console.
WhatsApp and phones
The WhatsApp icon appears only if you loaded a mobile number in My Company, and it needs to have this format:
541122223333
Country code + area code + number, with no spaces, dashes, or any other character. If the field is empty, the icon won't show up.
I made a change and I don't see it on my site
The changes you make in Mapaprop are reflected instantly, because both systems use the same database. If you don't see them, it's almost always your browser cache: you had the site open in another tab while you were saving.
Close your browser completely, wait a few seconds, and open it again. You can also open a private browsing window. See I don't see the changes made in Mapaprop reflected.
Your clients' inquiries
Inquiries that come through your site's form are sent to the email registered under Menu > My Real Estate Agency > My Company. Verify that it's the email where you want to receive them.
Your internet domain
- You are the sole owner of your domain. It's your brand on the internet.
- Your site includes an SSL certificate, so it works under HTTPS.
- The domain expires once a year and you renew it. Mapaprop cannot do it on your behalf. Whoever registered it for you (NIC.ar, DonWeb, or another) will notify you by email at least 30 days beforehand. See Renewing your internet domain yearly.
- If you still need to point your domain to our servers, see Domain delegation.
Don't have your own domain yet? You can activate a free temporary domain suinmobiliaria.mapaprop.com in one click, with HTTPS, so your site is online while you get the final one. It's automatically replaced when you add your own domain. See Internet domain.
Email with your domain
If you want mailboxes like info@yourdomain.com, see Email. There are several options available. If you have any questions, write to us at websites@mapaprop.com and we'll recommend the one that suits you best.
Hosting and payments
Your website's hosting is paid through Mapaprop, from Menu > your name > Account Summary. Mapaprop notifies you every time a charge is generated.
Charges have due dates and, once due, block account access until they're settled. See Policies and Pay.
Help and support
All help is accessible from your account with the "?" button. If you run into an issue, you can report a problem from there. See Help and support.
For any design or domain matter, write directly to websites@mapaprop.com.
If you want to modify your site's design later on, see Support and design service for Websites.
