FAQ

How long should a listing description be for MLS vs portals vs social?

MLS short-description fields typically require 150–200 characters; portal long descriptions perform best between 300–500 words for residential properties. Social posts and ads need concise hooks: 8–12 word headlines and 1–2 sentence captions. Always check the specific character limits of your target portal and trim to fit.

What phrases or terms risk fair housing violations and how do I avoid them?

Avoid language referencing protected characteristics (age, family status, religion, national origin, disability, etc.) or implying preferences ("ideal for retirees", "young professionals"). Instead, emphasize property features, location facts and accessibility with neutral phrasing (e.g., "near [school name]", "ground-floor unit"). Use the built-in guardrail prompts to filter risky language.

How do I include neighborhood details without making unverifiable claims?

Use verifiable, sourced facts: named transit lines, school district names, park names, or approximate distances ('0.3 miles to Main St.'). Avoid absolute superlatives ('best school') and subjective lists unless supported by public data. When in doubt, describe proximity or travel time rather than qualitative judgments.

What are best practices for adding SEO keywords and local modifiers?

Include a focused keyword phrase and a local modifier (neighborhood or city) in the SEO title and meta. Keep the title under 65 characters; meta descriptions around 120–160 characters that highlight one selling point and a CTA (e.g., 'Schedule a showing'). Avoid keyword stuffing—prioritize clarity and relevance.

How can I produce multiple tone variants and A/B test which copy converts?

Generate 3–4 tone variants per listing (professional, lifestyle, investment-focused). Use consistent headlines across variants where possible and vary body copy or CTA. Track performance by channel (CTR, inquiry rate) and run controlled A/B tests on portal listings, social ads or email campaigns to measure which tone drives leads.

What character and field limits should I watch for on major listing platforms?

Limits vary by platform; common guidelines: MLS short summary ~150–200 chars, portal long description up to 4,000 chars but 300–500 words is optimal, headlines 8–12 words for social, Google/Meta ads have strict headline and description lengths. Always tailor generated copy to the exact target field before upload.

Can I generate bilingual listings and what should I watch for in translations?

Yes — produce a primary English variant and a parallel Spanish translation. Ensure legal and lease terminology is accurately translated and validated by a fluent reviewer. Avoid literal machine translation for legal text (lease terms, pet policies); have a bilingual specialist verify key sections.

How do I scale description generation for dozens or hundreds of properties safely?

Standardize your CSV schema, include fallback values for missing highlights, and use a bulk CSV helper prompt to generate portal-ready columns. Implement an automated review step to check for fair‑housing flagging and neighborhood claim verification before bulk upload.
