The problem it solves

Manually shortening every property listing link and creating a QR code for print materials or signage takes time you don't have when listings change often. It's easy to end up with outdated or missing links on your flyers.

Who it fits

A real estate agent or team that manages property listings and needs shareable links and QR codes for marketing.

How it works

  1. A new or updated property row appears in your Google Sheet
  2. The system shortens the property's long URL
  3. It generates a QR code image that points to the short link
  4. It writes the short URL and QR code link back into the same row

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
