Creating a Property Listing on MCB-HUB

This guide offers a comprehensive walkthrough for creating a property listing on MCB-HUB.

1. Go to http://MCB-Hub.co.uk/home

2. To login to your account, click "Member Login" on the top right corner of the home page.

3. You can log in with the one-click 'Sign in with Google' button or enter your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, click the link under the password box to reset your password.

4. If you are not registered, you can create an account by pressing the 'Not a Registered User?' button. This button will take you to the pricing plans page.

5. Once logged in, you will be in the member's dashboard. This is where you will add information about your company that will be displayed in the directory.

6. Add all your company details, this information will be how potential clients will contact you.

7. Don't forget to include your website URL and any social media urls.

8. Complete your profile by filling in the sections under each header: Basic Information, Profile Photo, Additional Details, About Me, and Service Areas.

9. Always remember to press "Save" at the bottom of the page to ensure your changes are stored.

10. If you'd like to complete this later, you can return to your Member Dashboard landing page and click the relevant section under "Manage Listing" to continue.

11. Once you have uploaded a profile picture or company logo it will be displayed on your profile. You can preview how it will look on the left.

12. Click the "View Public Listing" button to see how your profile will appear to clients.

13. Here, you can also view your member ID and current subscription plan. To change your membership plan, click the 'Change Membership Plan' button.

14. On the left side of the dashboard menu, you can view your profile statistics, manage leads, view your favourites, add community articles or blog posts, submit properties, create sub-accounts, and post in discussion forums. You can access guides for each of these options for more information.

15. In this guide, we will focus on how to add a property. Start by clicking on the "Properties" tab.

16. Click the "+ New Property" button to begin adding your property.

17. At the top, you'll see your current property upload limit. If you'd like to upload more properties than your limit allows, there will be a fee for each additional listing.

18. The first option is to choose whether to publish your property. If you select 'No', the property will be saved in your drafts. If you select 'Yes', the property will be published on the directory and made public for all to see. You can later return to your drafts and update it or choose to make it a public post again.

19. Complete the form with all the relevant details. The more information you provide, the better it will inform others about the property you have available.

20. You can enter the address, and it will be displayed on the map. Please note that if you enter the full address, including the house number, it will appear on the public listing.

21. Don't forget to add your website URL so people can easily get in touch with you.

22. Smart tags are incredibly useful, and we highly recommend you use them. If you're uploading multiple properties, using similar tags across them will link related listings. When a tag is selected, it will direct users to other properties with the same tag, making it easier for them to explore your available listings.

23. Add a description of your property. This should provide a comprehensive overview, highlighting its features and key details. Keep in mind your audience and include relevant information that will help them understand the property’s suitability for their needs. Remember to refer to our guide on recommended structures for property descriptions (coming soon) for further tips on crafting an effective listing.

24. Next, upload pictures of your property. High-quality images are essential to showcase the property effectively. Make sure to include a variety of angles and key features that highlight the property's appeal. This will help potential clients get a clear view of what’s on offer.

25. Click to confirm the image upload once you're satisfied with your selection. This will finalise the process and ensure your images are saved to the property listing.

26. Click the 'Photo Display Order' button to reorder the pictures. This will allow you to arrange the images in the desired order, ensuring the most relevant or attractive photos are shown first.

27. Once you're happy with the order, press the 'Back to All Properties' button to return to your property listings.

28. You will see a list of your properties and a preview of what they will look like. To make the post public, click on the action button.

29. Click "Edit Post"

30. Remember the "Yes" and "No" buttons at the start of the property form. Click "Yes" to publish your property listing. Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit 'Save'.

31. This is how your property listing appears. To view the full details page, click the 'View More' button.

32. This page displays the full property listing. Interested individuals can contact you using the 'Contact Member' button or click the 'More Details' button, which will redirect them to the website URL you provided earlier.

33. To return to the Member Dashboard from the directory, click on the "Members" dropdown in the top-right corner. From there, you can access your dashboard or view all your listings.
