Want to really be a local area expert?\u00a0 Try creating an Area Tour for the subdivision, community, town, or city you service.\u00a0 Once you have the Area Tour, you can use the new Additional Resources linking tools to add it to each of your listings.\"Weatherby<\/a><\/p>\n

You can easily showcase an area just with photos, or if you have a map you would like to use, you can make it an interactive map tour. Click Here<\/a> for an example of an Area Tour created by the first official customer of FloorPlanOnline in the US, Linda Cone of the Cone Team. See more of Linda at www.KansasCityLifestyles.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Note – we provide both a widescreen version of the tour and a portrait version.\u00a0 By default people get the widescreen – except some users with a very narrow screen will get the portrait version.\u00a0 In this case, I think the portrait version works good for a map tour…so I used that.\u00a0 Just change the 1 to a 0 to see and use the portrait version at the end after ws=\u00a0 http:\/\/www.seetheproperty.com\/presentation_v2\/presentation.php?order_id=8606&mode=branded&ws=0\u00a0 We will be adding some Map tour types in the future…but for now, you can work the system this way.<\/p>\n

How do you add an Area Tour to your tours?\u00a0 It is simple.\u00a0 First, just create a new tour for the area you would like to showcase.\u00a0 To create a self service Area Tour with photos, it is just $29 for a year of hosting.\u00a0 Just select the tour option for Photos only.\u00a0 To add a Map, select the FloorPlan and Photos option.\u00a0 That is just $59 for the first year to create the map and tour, and then $29 a year thereafter.<\/p>\n

One you have the Area Tour, just login, go to Manage Orders and then click the Edit link under Order Form (or Edit Tour then edit Property Details).\u00a0 Scroll down to the section where it says Content Display Options.\u00a0 Under the Additional Resources column, select the +Add Custom Resource<\/strong> button.\u00a0 Then just type in text for how you want it to show on your tour, and then the link to the Area Tour, such as www.floorplanonline.com\/8606 (or www.seetheproperty.com\/8606 works too).\u00a0 Then select the button to add it.\u00a0 Just make sure the box is checked for this Area Tour, go to the bottom and save.\u00a0 For your next tour, this resource should be checked.<\/p>\n

If you service different areas, you can add multiple area tours, and just select the one needed for your particular listing.<\/p>\n

Also, you can use the Additional Resource tools to add links to your website, your blog, your MLS search page, and more.\u00a0 The more you put links back to your website, the more “Google Juice” you get…and we both get.\u00a0 Just check out the link above to the listing with the Area Tour for an example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
