Squarelly's compatibility scoring system does more than rank search results — it actively works to connect you with renters who are most likely to be the right fit for your property.
The Matching Process
When you publish a listing, Squarelly's AI compatibility engine begins evaluating your property against registered renter profiles on the platform. Renters are scored based on how closely their profile aligns with your listing and preferences.
The matching engine considers:
- Budget alignment — Does the renter's stated budget match your asking rent?
- Location preferences — Is your property in an area the renter is actively searching?
- Lifestyle compatibility — Do the renter's lifestyle details and requirements align with your property's characteristics and your stated preferences?
- Tenancy requirements — Does the renter's intended move-in date and tenancy length match your availability and minimum term?
- Profile completeness and verification — Verified, complete renter profiles are weighted more favourably
What You See as a Landlord
When a renter initiates contact with your listing, you'll see their compatibility score alongside their profile. This gives you an at-a-glance indication of how well they align with your property before you confirm availability.
Higher-scoring renters represent stronger alignment across the factors above. You're not obligated to prioritise by score alone — but it's a useful signal when multiple renters are interested in the same property.
Improving Your Match Quality
The quality of your matches depends directly on the quality of your listing and preferences:
- Complete listings with accurate details produce more accurate compatibility scores
- Clear owner preferences narrow the field to genuinely suitable renters
- Keeping your availability status up to date prevents irrelevant enquiries from renters looking for immediate availability
