SEO Tips for Optimizing YouTube Real Estate Videos

Google Loves Video – Are You Leveraging that Love?

On the fence about real estate video marketing? You could be missing out on an advertising goldmine. In online search results, top U.S. search engine Google gives preference to websites with video content, listing sites with video higher in page rankings. What’s more, sites with video have lower bounce rates, keeping potential clientele right where you want them – with you. Used the right way, video can be a game changer, improving SEO, boosting website rankings and steering customers to your site.

Six Ways to Target Your Audience
Don’t neglect these key video genres when creating your real estate video marketing arsenal. The more engagement your videos create, the higher your rankings, and the more they’ll be shared!

– Listing Videos
Property videos are the bread-and-butter of video marketing, and a great way to reel-in leads.

– Interview Videos
Referrals from happy home buyers and sellers, lenders, inspectors, attorneys and other professionals can help you build a strong client base.

– Informational Videos
Short, educational videos on common real estate topics and questions can help you extend your reach to a much larger audience through YouTube and social media, showcasing your knowledge and expertise.

– Neighborhood Videos & Local Business Reviews
Reviews and tours ‘sell’ the community your homes are listed in, helping buyers envision themselves enjoying neighborhood amenities from the local coffee shop and eateries, to area fine arts and outdoor opportunities.

– Agent/Office Promos
Agency and personal promotional videos are an ideal way to get across what makes you or your brokerage stand out from the competition, whether that be your unique company culture, knowledge and experience, or willingness to work in outside-the-box scenarios.

– How-To’s
How-to’s boost search engine rankings and offer helpful buying and selling tips, from simple home staging tips, to more in-depth looks into inspection reports and appraisals.

Real Estate Video Marketing – Tips for Success

New to video real estate marketing? You’re moving in the right direction. 60% of consumers prefer video when seeking online information. In the real estate industry, video listings net 403% more inquiries than those without. But you’ll need the right real estate video tips to ensure success.

What Video Marketing Tactics can Help You Gain an Edge on the Competition?

– The right location.
Placing a listing video on your agency website is a no-brainer. But outside of that, YouTube is the ideal locale. Google searches pull from YouTube. (FaceBook does not do this.) From here you can embed on other social platforms.

– The right content.
Beyond listing videos, you’re efforts will best be spent on ‘evergreen,’ hyper-local content: Content you can use and re-use for at-least 2-years. Think agent/agency promos and neighborhood reviews that showcase your expertise to earn the best ROI.

– The right look.
Leading real estate video tips point to the need for professional-quality content. A shaky selfie won’t suffice. These videos will be a representation of your skills. Luckily, with a decent phone/camera and Properties Online’s latest video builder tool, free with the POL family of products, you’ll be rapidly on your way to achieving stellar video results.

Simply upload content, indicate your preferences, and your video will be automatically built and syndicated to YouTube, alongside a non-branded IDX-compliant version for your local MLS.

– The right frequency.
Develop a content schedule, uploading at least one video per week to ensure success. This gives you time to create content, while expanding your online marketing reach. Ideas include:

Agent introductions
Recorded buyer/listing consultation presentations
Community videos
Local amenities tours
School interviews
How-to’s
Top-10 lists

Internet video traffic will account for 82% of consumer internet traffic by 2021. Do you have the real estate video tips you need to stake your claim in this new frontier? Find the tools and technology you need for success on Properties Online today.

Don’t Just do Listing Videos! What Else to Put in Your Online Business Video Library

Feel like video usage in real estate marketing is falling short of your expectations? You may not be leveraging it to its fullest potential. A successful video marketing approach should encompass much more than simple listing videos. What are you missing?

Other Essential Real Estate Videos Include:

• Just Sold Videos
The flipside of listings videos are easy to create and use the same files. These videos show off your sales success, offering potential new listing clientele the capability to see first-hand the genre of homes you typically represent and recent sales in their area.

• Welcome Home Videos
Once you receive notice an offer has been accepted, create and send a “Welcome Home” video using your listing files, inserting a slide thanking the clients for their business. Excited new homeowners often share these with family and friends – so don’t forget to include a call-to-action button and link to your site.

• Neighborhood Profiles
If you specialize in particular communities, neighborhood videos are a must, offering shoppers information on area amenities such as parks, recreation, schools, shopping, dining, and nearby attractions.

• About Me Videos
These videos help potential clients put a face and personality with your name, and are a terrific opportunity to show how you stand out from other agents. What types of things should you include? A headshot, awards you’ve received, client testimonials, things you’re involved with in the community (charitable organizations, volunteerism), and most importantly, your contact information.

• How-To Videos
Listing and buying particulars can be overwhelming. Simplify things with simple, instructional videos to help them through the process. These show you understand your clients’ needs intimately, add value to your services, and draw prospective clients to your web/social domains.

Still relying solely on listing videos? Step things up a notch with video usage in real estate marketing and reap sales success. Simplify the process with the help of the latest video builder tools and tips from PropertiesOnline today.

Each Property Should Be Shown in its Best Light!

Each Property Should Have Its Own Video Are You Ready?

Video usage in real estate marketing isn’t up-and-coming – it has arrived. And if you aren’t on the bandwagon, your career may fall by the wayside. Now part-and-parcel of proper marketing protocol, if your property listings are lacking videos, you’re losing out on leads.

Videos Make Your Clients Happy
Listing videos get more views and engagement than their purely print counterparts. It’s a fact. To ensure success and prevent clients from second-guessing placing their home sale in your hands, you should want to use them as a regular part of your listing services.

Online is Where All Initial Showings Happen . . .
And video capitalizes on this, making quality photo and video content key to making each listing appear so desirable potential buyers feel pushed to look at it before it’s snagged. Here, lackluster effort can lose potential showings and damage your brand.

You must set the mood to create that ‘gotta have it’ vibe with stunning imagery of greenspace, views, newly-renovated kitchens and baths, maximized closet storage, superior neighborhoods, schools, and more.

Video Helps You Leverage ‘Spin-off’ Business
Social posts and sharing boost your brand and your listings gain marketing exposure without looking pushy, making video a great referral marketing tool.

You Can Create Stunning Listing Videos in Just Minutes!
Create short, HD-quality property videos from the same listing photos you use in the MLS in just minutes. Free with the Properties Online family of products, let Virtuets lend you a helping hand from production to syndication and sharing:

And more!
