Sarout Morocco

An innovative Moroccan platform for finding, renting, and selling real estate, offering a simple and seamless experience tailored to the local market.

Challenge
Launch Sarout.ma, an innovative Moroccan platform dedicated to searching, renting and selling real estate, on an ultra-competitive market dominated by a few historical players often criticized for dated ergonomics and uneven listing quality.

The challenge: build an intuitive, modern real estate marketplace able to connect individual owners, agencies and tenants across all of Morocco — Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir — with clear navigation and smart search. It also required enriched, geolocated listings updated in real time, and a journey differentiated by user profile (searcher, owner, professional agency).
Solution
Development of a site with a clean, fully responsive interface, designed mobile-first since most real estate searches in Morocco happen on smartphones. Integration of advanced dynamic filters (city, neighborhood, price, surface, number of rooms, property type, furnished/unfurnished) with instant result refresh.

Listing management via a complete owner dashboard: creation, editing, view statistics, photo management with multi-upload and automatic compression, scheduling of paid promotions. Each property page has an SEO-optimized URL, rich descriptive content, precise geolocation on an interactive map, and the option to directly request a viewing.

SEO architecture focused on local ranking: category pages per city and neighborhood, Schema.org RealEstateListing markup, dynamic sitemap. Email alert system for saved searches, listing moderation, and a professional agency dashboard for premium accounts.
Results
A high-performing, accessible real estate portal that significantly simplifies property search for individuals and strengthens listing visibility across Morocco. The interface fluidity stands out in a market where competition remains rough around the edges.

Steady growth in published listings and registered users since launch, with strong organic ranking on queries like "apartment rental Casablanca", "villa sale Marrakech" and city-specific variants. Professional agencies appreciate the dedicated dashboard, and the hybrid revenue model (free listings + paid promotions) generates predictable income. Extensible architecture ready to integrate short-term rentals next.
