1. Post 360° photos on Facebook for immersive experiences

Want your listings to grab attention? Give followers something they can interact with. Posting 360 photos on Facebook lets viewers explore a fixed space from every angle, offering a deeper, more immersive look at the property. 

Why it works: 

  • Enhanced engagement: Interactive posts get more likes, shares, and comments than static ones 
  • Realistic feel: Potential buyers can look around key areas like kitchens or game rooms 
  • Broader reach: Facebook prioritizes interactive content, so your post travels further 

How to use it: 

  1. Ask your real estate photographer or iGUIDE Service Provider to share the 360° photos of key spaces in the property that you’d like to spotlight
  2. Upload it to Facebook and include a compelling caption with relevant hashtags, for example: "Tour this gourmet kitchen in 360°! Move your screen to explore every detail. #360Listing #VirtualTour #YourCityRealEstate" 
  3. Encourage followers to explore the photo by commenting or sharing, and invite them to book a private showing 

Your turn: Try posting a 360° photo for your next listing and compare engagement against a standard image.

2. Screen record virtual tours to share on Facebook and Instagram

Give your audience a front-row seat to a property by screen recording your virtual tour and sharing it as a video on Facebook or Instagram. It’s a seamless way for them to explore the space without lifting a finger, all while keeping them engaged right on your post. You can even showcase standout features like a cozy indoor sauna, sparking curiosity and encouraging viewers to dive deeper into the full listing. It's the perfect teaser to turn interest into action! 

Why it works: 

  • More views: Video content drives higher engagement across all platforms 
  • Frictionless: You control the flow, no need for users to click around 

How to use it: 

  1. Use your phone’s built-in screen recorder to capture the iGUIDE tour 
  2. Navigate smoothly and focus on the highlights 
  3. Upload to Instagram Reels, Stories, or Facebook with a strong caption 
    • Ex. "Step inside this gorgeous 4-bedroom stunner – no click required! Want a private tour? DM me. #VirtualTour #RealEstateVideo" 
       

Pro tip: Use tools like Canva to brand your video, add music or include a short intro.

3. Share iGUIDE Analytics report stats to attract views and increase engagement

When you use iGUIDE to create virtual tours and floor plans, you get access to valuable analytics that provide insights into how your listings are performing online. These analytics include how many people have viewed the tour, how long they stayed and what source the views came from. Sharing these stats on social media shows potential sellers that you’re actively marketing their property and attracts more views and increases engagement with your audience. 

Why it works: 

  • Builds trust: Real numbers show you're working hard to market listings 
  • Drives curiosity: Stats like "1,200+ views in 5 days" intrigue your audience 
  • Boosts visibility: High-performing content gets shared more 

How to use it: 

  1. Pull key stats from your latest iGUIDE report.
  2. Create a simple stat graphic or write a data-focused caption 
    • For example: “This stunning 3-bedroom home has had over 1,000 views this week! Want to see what everyone’s talking about? Check out the virtual tour here [link].” 

Your move: Share your next listing's performance stats to show momentum and attract new clients.
