A weekly marketing report summarises how your property has performed over the previous week, portal views, enquiries, viewings, and feedback, and it's one of the clearest early signals of whether your price and presentation are actually working.
What's actually in a weekly marketing report?
It typically covers the number of portal views your listing generated, enquiries received, viewings booked and completed, and feedback from anyone who's viewed. Some agents also include a comparison against similar listings nearby, which can be useful context for whether a slow week is about your property specifically or the local market more broadly.
Why do these numbers matter more than they might seem to?
Portal views and viewing numbers are the clearest early signal of whether your property is priced correctly and presented well, well before you'd otherwise find out through a lack of offers. High views but few enquiries usually points to the photography or description needing attention. High enquiries but few viewings converting more often points to the asking price itself. Consistent feedback across multiple viewers is particularly valuable. If several people independently raise the same concern, it usually reflects something genuinely worth addressing rather than one person's personal taste.
What is happening behind the scenes?
Your agent monitors listing performance through the portal dashboards, which track views, saves, and email enquiries. They collect and consolidate feedback from each viewing and pass it on to you. This loop between agent and seller is one of the more effective mechanisms for keeping a sale on track during the marketing phase, precisely because it surfaces problems while there's still time to fix them.
What should you actually do with this information?
Read or listen to each report properly, and have an honest conversation with your agent about what the numbers actually mean for your specific property, not just in general terms. If multiple viewers raise the same concern, price, condition, or presentation, take it seriously rather than assuming it's one person's opinion. If portal views are consistently low, ask whether the listing itself needs refreshing, new photos, an updated description, or a different lead image. If you've had several viewings but no offers, ask your agent for their honest assessment of the asking price rather than waiting for it to come up on its own.

| High enquiries, few viewings booked | Asking price may be deterring closer interest |
| Viewings booked, no offers | Worth an honest pricing conversation with your agent |
| Same feedback from multiple viewers | Usually reflects something genuinely worth addressing |
