Public PG page + booking inbox
A clean public page for each PG — pin on map, rooms with rents, booking form. Owner gets WhatsApp leads.
pgsaathi.com/p/krishna-pgWhat it does
Most PGs grow by word-of-mouth and broker calls. Phone numbers float around WhatsApp groups and Justdial; brokers ask 10% of one month's rent for an introduction. Owners have no online surface beyond Google reviews of mixed quality. PG Saathi gives every PG a shareable URL — `pgsaathi.com/p/<your-slug>` — that you can paste into a Facebook group, a hostel-finder forum, or a tenant's WhatsApp.
The page shows the basics that a prospect actually wants: PG name, area, total bed count, a map embed with the entrance pin, a 'how to find us' note (your landmarks — "blue gate next to the chai stall"), and a per-room grid with capacity, sharing label, gender, and rent. Rooms above ₹20K/mo hide their price (`Contact owner for pricing`) so your 0% GST safe-zone positioning isn't accidentally broken.
Below the rooms a booking form: prospect's name, WhatsApp number, optional move-in date, message, DPDP-consent checkbox. On submit the request lands in your `/properties/<id>/leads` inbox AND the bot pings you on WhatsApp (when your customer-service window is open). You reply directly to the prospect from your own number, or mark contacted / joined / declined in the inbox.
On WhatsApp
- Owner — toggle visibility from the PWA at `/properties/<id>/publish`. The slug + 'live since' date are visible on the dashboard card.
- Prospect — read the page, fill the form, tick the DPDP checkbox, submit. They get a reference code; you get the lead.
- Owner — `wa.me/<prospect-phone>` button on the lead card opens a WhatsApp chat with one tap.
On the dashboard
Owner publish flow: /properties/<id>/publish. Inbox: /properties/<id>/leads. Cross-property admin view (for ops): /admin/bookings.
Why it matters
Brokers cost 10% of a month's rent per move-in — for a 30-bed PG with three move-ins a year that's roughly ₹25,000 in commissions you keep when leads come direct. The public page is also a credibility surface for the AMC; an inspector visiting your PG can find the listing and verify the rooms / address match what's filed.
