When a visitor views a listing with the SmartZip score on the property details window, he has two choices:
+
-
 
+
-
* Request that the Realtor® provides the SmartZip analytic report for this property
+
-
* Buy the report online direct from SmartZip
+
-
 
+
-
The report adds another lead capture opportunity on your AccelerAgent™ website, since both choices will require the visitor to enter his information before getting the report. Here is a sample of a SmartZip Report (sample)
+
-
 
+
-
To allow your website visitors to see SmartZip scores on listings details pages:
+
-
 
+
-
# Within the Listing Page Preferences section, check "Show SmartZip Score on the listing details pages."
+
-
# You can type the minimum SmartZip score to show from 0 to 100. Properties below this score will not have SmartZip rating on listings details.
+
-
 
+
-
On agent websites that have SmartZip subscription, there will only be the choice to fill out a name & email address. The Realtor® will be able to send the report to that visitor. For agent's without a SmartZip subscription, the visitor can either request the report from the agent or be redirected to SmartZip to buy the report.

The main gist of this feature is that for visitors who are viewing either MLS search results or custom IDX pages, they are forced to register after let's say 3 property detail views. After registering, the visitor will then be a captured visitor you can then track every property listing that the visitors has clicked on.

+
-
Within the Listing Page Preferences section, find the option that says "Specify here how many listing details pages guest user can view without registering." You can select Unlimited listings, 0, 1, 3, and so on. Don't forget to click on the Submit button on the bottom of the page.
