Renters Have Spoken Once Again: Apartments.com Is the Site They Love to Visit Most
The New Apartments.com Celebrates 15th Month in the Market - and 15th Consecutive Month as Most Trafficked Apartment Listing Site
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Proving that numbers – especially industry-leading numbers – tell the story best, Apartments.com celebrated its 15th consecutive month as the industry's most trafficked apartment listing site, according to comScore. The winning-streak continues to validate the site's renter-centric redesign, backed by the milestone delivery of more than fifty million True Leads™ to rental communities.
"We set out to deliver a site that renters would love; we hit that target right off the bat and haven't looked back," said Andrew Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group, which owns and operates the Apartments.com Network.
"With every passing month, we've maintained our number one position by continuing to innovate and deliver the experience renters want," he said. "We're passionate about connecting renters with their perfect new homes and serving apartment communities with True Leads™ and qualified renters." According to the recently released comScore report, Apartments.com received 244 million visits from March 2015 through May 2016 placing the site in first place once again as the most trafficked.
The Apartments.com Network's success has been fueled by a collective passion to give renters great choices, powerful search tools and valuable content, including 3D tours and renter reviews. According to internal data on unbounced sessions gathered by Google Analytics, visitors on Apartments.com spend an average of 14 minutes on the site and generate an average of 26 page views – a tribute to the site's ability to engage users and provide a superior, valuable renter experience.
Apartments.com's success is also based on a commitment to deliver the most qualified leads to advertisers: the comScore designation comes on the heels of Apartments.com's recent delivery of its fifty millionth lead and its focus on delivering True LeadsTM, which sets a new industry standard in connecting the most qualified, knowledgeable renters to the right properties quickly.
The final winning element in the site's success is a targeted focus on relevant marketing – kicked off at the start with a revolutionary $130 million launch campaign in 2015, followed by an industry-first Super Bowl commercial and $100 million campaign in 2016.
"With every step, we're delivering surges in traffic for our advertisers and tremendous opportunities for renters who trust our site to connect them with fantastic apartments," said Florance. "We're looking forward to breaking new records by delivering experiences that yield the best results for both our visitors and our clients alike."
Apartments.com celebrates its 15th month as the industry's most trafficked apartment listing site at the National Apartment Association's annual conference in San Francisco – where Apartments.com has the largest exhibitor presence, and is showcasing its powerful capabilities to attendees all week.
