Be Seen by the Right Buyers. Get Inquiries Faster. Maximize Your Visibility.

1. Your Listing Deserves the Right Spotlight

Listing your property online is the first step to selling or renting it fast. But if you’re not putting it in the right category, it’s like showcasing a luxury flat at a car dealership — wrong place, wrong audience.

On Neaarme.com, where properties are viewed by buyers and renters from Nigeria and across the globe, choosing the correct category is critical to your success. It determines who sees your listing, how it’s ranked, and how soon you close a deal.

Let’s break down how to choose the perfect category for your property and make your listing work for you — not against you.

2. Proper categorization

📌 Why Category Selection Matters

Think of categories on Neaarme like shelves in a supermarket — buyers are searching in specific aisles. If your property is misplaced, you’ll miss out on the right traffic.

Proper categorization helps:

• Boost visibility in search results
• Connect with serious and relevant buyers
• Improve trust and professionalism
• Reduce bounce rate from uninterested viewers

🏡 Step 1: Understand Your Property Type

Ask yourself:

• Is it residential, commercial, or land?
• Is it for rent or for sale?
• Is it finished, newly built, or under construction?

🧠 Examples:

• A self-contained apartment in Umuahia = “Residential > For Rent > Apartment”
• A 3-storey shopping complex in Aba = “Commercial > For Sale > Plaza/Shop”
• 2 plots of land at Umule Road = “Land > For Sale > Residential Land”

🏷️ Step 2: Explore Neaarme’s Property Categories

Here are some of the main categories on Neaarme.com (more may be added as platform evolves):

• Residential Properties
  • Flats / Apartments
  • Duplexes / Bungalows
  • Self-contained Units
  • Shared Apartments
  • Short-Lets / Airbnb
• Commercial Properties
  • Office Spaces
  • Shops / Plazas / Malls
  • Warehouses
  • Event Centres
  • Hotels & Lodges
• Lands & Plots
  • Residential Plots
  • Commercial Land
  • Agricultural Land
  • Estate Lands
• Short Stay / Rentals
  • Daily/Weekly Rentals
  • Student Housing
  • Corporate Lettings

🔍 Step 3: Match Your Listing to Buyer Intent

Global buyers search based on intent — not just location.

Let’s say you’re listing a furnished apartment in Aba for rent. A business traveler will be searching under:

“Short Stay” or “Serviced Apartment Rentals”

If you list it under ‘Commercial Property’, you’ll confuse the algorithm — and the audience.

📌 Match your title, description, and category together for a seamless experience.

🚀 Step 4: Use Tags and Subcategories Wisely

Once you’ve selected your main category, add tags and keywords like:

• “Furnished”
• “Student-Friendly”
• “Close to Ariaria Market”
• “With Parking Space”
• “24/7 Power”

These tags help boost your listing’s search performance on Neaarme and even on Google.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Listing a land as a house (because it’s “planned for housing”)
• ❌ Posting a short-let under permanent residential
• ❌ Forgetting to add “for rent” or “for sale” in the selection
• ❌ Duplicating listings in unrelated categories (leads to confusion or ban)

3. Your Property, In the Right Place

Choosing the right category may seem small, but it’s one of the most powerful decisions you can make on Neaarme.com. It ensures your listing gets seen by the right people, in the right location, at the right time.

If you’re looking to sell faster, rent easier, and gain trust from global and local buyers — get your category right from the start.
