3. Tasks to Be Done During the Period: Categorization Tasks

A. Initial Categorization

1. Review of Submitted Listings

• Task: Review each classified listing submitted during the period to identify its content type (e.g., real estate, services, jobs, products, etc.).
• Objective: Ensure that each listing is categorized correctly to ensure users can find what they’re looking for.

2. Assign Listings to Predefined Categories

• Task: Based on the content of the listing, assign it to the most appropriate category, ensuring it fits with SayPro’s category structure.
  • Examples of Categories:
    • Real Estate: Residential, commercial, land, rentals, etc.
    • Services: Legal, cleaning, marketing, design, etc.
    • Jobs: Full-time, part-time, remote, internships, etc.
    • Products: Electronics, clothing, furniture, etc.
    • Miscellaneous: Any content that does not fit into the above categories.

3. Categorization of Special Listings

• Task: Some listings may fall into special categories like events, promotions, or announcements. These must be categorized accurately as well.
• Objective: Ensure all non-standard or niche content is still placed in the correct predefined category to optimize searchability and navigation.

B. Use of Tagging System for Subcategories

1. Apply Tags for Further Specificity

• Task: For each categorized listing, apply relevant sub-category tags to provide users with more refined search options.
  • Example Tags:
    • For Real Estate: Tags like “apartments,” “houses,” “commercial,” etc.
    • For Jobs: Tags such as “remote,” “full-time,” “part-time,” etc.
    • For Services: Tags like “plumbing,” “cleaning,” “IT support,” etc.
• Objective: Increase the precision of content discovery by adding tags that clarify specific aspects of the listing.

C. Cross-Category Listings

1. Identifying Overlapping Listings

• Task: Some listings may belong to more than one category (e.g., a real estate listing that also includes a service such as “property management”). In such cases, ensure that the listing is cross-listed under the appropriate multiple categories.
• Objective: Ensure all relevant categories are represented to make sure users can find the listing from different search angles.

2. Categorization Based on User Intent

• Task: When categorizing listings that could fit multiple categories, apply user intent as a guiding principle. For example:
  • A service like plumbing may go under Services, but could also be cross-listed under Real Estate if it relates to maintenance or repairs of properties.
• Objective: Focus on ensuring that users can easily locate content relevant to their search criteria.

D. Verification and Quality Control

1. Double-Check Category Appropriateness

• Task: Once a listing has been categorized, verify that the category assignment is appropriate. This step involves checking if the content of the listing genuinely fits within the category it has been placed in.
• Objective: Ensure no listings are miscategorized, which can lead to user confusion or frustration.

2. Ensure Consistency in Categorization

• Task: Perform random audits of categorized listings during the period to identify inconsistencies or trends of miscategorization. Maintain a consistent approach across all listings.
• Objective: Create a standardization process where categories are applied equally to ensure that users can easily browse listings with uniformity.

4. Categorization Compliance

A. Platform-Specific Standards

• Task: Review platform standards for categorization to ensure they are up to date and align with the latest platform features or guidelines. This may involve checking if any new categories or sub-categories need to be added, or if older categories need revision or removal.
• Objective: Ensure that all categories reflect current market trends and platform capabilities.

B. User Feedback Integration

• Task: Incorporate user feedback about difficulties in finding specific types of classified listings. If users report issues with navigation or find categories unclear, take action to improve the structure.
• Objective: Enhance the usability of the platform by refining categories based on actual user experiences and needs.

5. Review and Reporting

  • Number of listings categorized.
  • Number of listings requiring re-categorization.
  • Category accuracy rate.
• Objective: Provide clear visibility into the efficiency and effectiveness of the categorization efforts.

2. Summary of Issues and Solutions
