Best Practices

To help you maximize the return from sharing your website to your personal social media, try some of these industry recommendations:

Drive leads directly to a listing or search results

Send your leads directly to the information you're promoting, without the need for them to search it themselves. Taking this work out of your leads hands also means that you can drive attention to any property or area of your choice! 

This leads to a more positive user experience, and may encourage more users to return to your website more often!

Use your Personal Facebook Profile

It is better to promote your website on your personal social media profile instead of your business page. This is because individuals generally have larger social networks on their personal profiles than on their company's profile.

Posts from your personal profile are more likely to be seen and engaged with by potential leads or valuable referral opportunities, then if the post was shared on your business profile.

Put out a Call to Action

People who interact with the post (like, comment, share) will make your post visible to people in their own friends lists.

Use your social media network to discover new possibilities by asking your friends to engage with your post and expand the reach of your website.

Be Consistent

Your website includes an unlimited amount of MLS listing data that is updated constantly. Use this opportunity to promote the valuable MLS information on a regular basis. It’s recommended to start by making at least one post a week!

The more often people see your website, the more likely they are to use the tools. That said, try to avoid posting the same thing twice in a row. Share new information on a weekly basis to promote more of the resources available on your website!
