Describe the company.
Solution

After launching the new site, the client stopped using SEO links without losing any traffic. In addition, the site's conversion rate is 2.4% for two target actions: booking a real property or leaving a request. Here are some of the site's current features:
— The site generates a unique, public link that favorites a user's objects. Users can share this link to review a set of objects at a later time.
— The site contains a set of ready-to-view objects.
— The site provides tips to simplify the search process. If there are an overwhelming number of search results, the site advises the user to add new search criteria. If there are no search results, the site automatically removes a criterion so that the results are no longer empty.
