Quintana, for his part, believes that \"the portals, on the one hand, look at us as clients, but, in the end, we are not the only ones,<strong>&nbsp;we are the ones who pay their fees and who make them grow with the majority of products.<\/strong>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jordi Benito acknowledges that \"today they are our main source of buyer leads, and therefore we have to work with them.

Jordi Campreci\u00f3s considers that portals are \"just another work tool, and that doesn't mean you should stop boosting your visibility and your website.&nbsp;<strong>Over-reliance on portals is not the right thing to do.<\/strong>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gregorio Est\u00e9vez believes that agencies \"have fed them and have not taken us into consideration.
