When sharing listings on Facebook, you can share it two ways – if you share the Video link, the video can be played WITHIN the Facebook feed, which is convenient for users. However this doesn\u2019t drive traffic back to your website. Make sure to include a URL to the listing detail page directly within the description so people can click to see more.

With minimal effort, many real estate agents can benefit from a tool they already use on a day-to-day basis – YouTube.

Many video tour companies will offer to upload the video on YouTube, and provide you with the link. Sounds great, right? Wrong. The home tour videos are only attributing to the content on their channels, not yours. Every Realtor\u00ae should create their own YouTube channel<\/a> where they start uploading their videos (see Sidra Subzawari\u2019s impressive YouTube channel full of luxury listing videos in and around White Rock<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n

Did you know you can put a link in your YouTube video descriptions? Putting a link back to the listing detail page on your website is critical for any home tour video. If the video is a general neighbourhood guide or market update, simply link it back to your website only. One way or another, you want to provide a backlink to your website.<\/p>\n<\/div>

When real estate agents share listings on Facebook, often we see the YouTube video being shared directly, instead of the listing detail page on the website (which already has the video embedded from YouTube). The advantage of this method is it allows video playback within the Facebook feed itself. However, it\u2019s important to take steps to ensure visitors have a way to see the listing detail page. This not only drives more traffic to your website to encourage more people to be exposed to your branding for a longer period of time, but it also creates more backlinks from social media platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n
After you attach the YouTube video, make sure to copy-paste the listing detail page URL from your own website. This gives the viewers an option to click for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

If you fixed mistake #2 from above, then even those who click on the video link to open it up on a new browser window\/tab can still link back to your website from the video description.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

This rule applies also to Instagram videos being auto-shared to your Facebook Timeline – you should edit the description Facebook afterward to include a link to the listing detail page on your website.
