What ListingSentinel checks
For one branch at a time, ListingSentinel compares your agency’s export (what you meant to publish) with a Rightmove record (what Rightmove showed at a known time), either read from the branch’s public Rightmove page each morning or uploaded by you. It covers residential sales on Rightmove.
Presence
Is every listing that should be on Rightmove there, and has anything that should be gone come down?
Needs: Each listing’s status in your export, and a Rightmove record. If the record covers only some listings, missing ones count as not checked, never as missing.
Can find: Missing from portal · Still actively marketed
Update times
Did Rightmove pick up your latest change to each listing?
Needs: When your CRM last sent each listing, and update times in the Rightmove record. A change gets four hours to reach Rightmove before it can be flagged.
Can find: Update not reflected
Price
Does Rightmove show the asking price you set?
Needs: The asking price in your export and in the Rightmove record. Listings without both, such as “POA”, count as not checked.
Can find: Price differs
How findings work
- A difference seen once is a candidate. It is confirmed only when newer evidence shows it again.
- A finding is resolved only when newer evidence shows the listing correctly, never because nobody looked.
- Anything that couldn’t be checked is shown as not checked, never as all clear. A branch with old data says so.
What it doesn’t do
- Change your adverts. Your team decides and fixes.
- Read anything beyond your own branches’ public Rightmove adverts, or use your Rightmove Plus login.
- Check lettings, other portals, photos, floorplans, descriptions or sale progress.
- Watch continuously. Each check is as current as the files it compares, and every result shows their times.
- Promise to find every problem. It reports what it could check and what it couldn’t.
