Where property management work starts
Reasoned. Vendor sites held 49.0% of property management citations, so work for a property management vendor usually begins on its own product, pricing and comparison pages. Review platforms held 10.2%, above the 9.5% median across the fourteen categories, so current property management listings get checked early. This is our reading, not a measured effect.
