Did you know you could post photos and videos on Google Business Profiles THAT AREN’T YOURS 🤯

(Disclaimer:  don’t go posting on the Google Business Profiles (GBP) of peers or competitors in your marketplace. That’ll make for a BIG mess.)

Try running some local Google searches for neighborhoods, subdivisions, or even condo-complexes in your area. Chance are, you’ll find that a bunch already have existing Google Business Profiles set up. That’s what South-African agent, Amore Van Der Ende, does!

Amore uploads 30-second, “branded” (as in, her name, logo, and contact info, on-screen and visible) video tours on the respective GBPs of key buildings and/or communities in her marketplace. She’ll showcase the grounds, amenities, common areas, and, if it’s her listing, the interior of a property.

And you know what? Her videos get TONS of views and, what’s more, they help to position her as the agent-of-choice with would-be buyers and sellers conducting research online.

Think about it… you’re accustomed to seeing “customer uploaded” photos and videos in Google Maps and Google Search for hotels and restaurants. Welp, it’s the same thing here.

To get started, you’ll need to enroll in the Google Local Guides program. Simply visit maps.google.com/localguides to get started. Here are a couple of quick tips to consider:

1. Make sure you’re logged into the Google Account that’s tied to your Google Business Page.

2. You may (possibly) consider modifying your Google Account name from, say, “Jason Pantana” to, for instance, “Jason Pantana, Nashville, Realtor,” just to reinforce what you do as people view your contributions. You’d make this change at myaccount.google.com.

Crush it with Google, y’all. If you’re going to do this, please comment “🔥🔥🔥” below to let me know!
