How Social media usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

AddThis is the most-detected Social media among UK real estate companies, with 34.3% share (379 of 1,106 companies with a detectable system), ahead of ShareThis (20.8%) and AddToAny (18.9%).
How many UK real estate companies have a detectable Social media?

What is a Social media?
A Social media system helps UK real estate companies add sharing buttons, social feeds, profile links or social publishing components to their websites. For estate agencies, property managers and related firms, the job is usually to connect listings, local content and brand profiles with social channels rather than to run core property operations.
How is Social media usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK real estate companies, AddThis or ShareThis?
AddThis: 379 detected companies versus 230 for ShareThis, of the 1,106 UK real estate companies with a detectable Social media.
