Key Results
72.8K clicks and 1.9M impressions from Google Search in September 2026, nine months after the first commit
The Challenge
Finnish renters and buyers have to check several listing portals, agency sites and housing-company pages to see what's actually available. The goal was one place that brings those listings together, keeps them fresh, and is quick to search on any device.
Our Solution
We built the ingestion layer in Python with Scrapy: crawlers collect listings from each source, a registry in Supabase controls which crawlers run and logs every run, and an admin dashboard shows their health. The website is a Next.js app on Cloudflare Workers with rentals, homes for sale and new developments, maps built with Leaflet, price history and price-drop lists, curated collections (furnished, pets allowed, sauna, balcony) and pages for every city. The same codebase is built to run the platform in other countries, with interfaces in 18 languages. In September 2026 we shipped an iOS app built with Expo and React Native.
The Outcome
The platform went from its first commit in January 2026 to 72.8K clicks and 1.9M impressions from Google Search in September 2026, most of them from Finland and most on mobile. The iOS app passed App Store review in October 2026, and the same platform runs sister sites in other countries.
