Vidlisting is a real estate focused video upload and conversion portal site that isn’t about driving traffic to our portal. We provide tools and infrastructure that help distribute your branded content to places and drive traffic to our members’ websites throughout the world. While we remain focused on supporting real estate organizations such as brokerages, local/state associations, builders/developers, and listings portals, we have features and services that support individual REALTORs and trainers as well.
In short, our site isn’t about us or driving traffic to Vidlisting, it’s about you and getting traffic to watch content on your or your organization’s website.
If you still aren't sure what makes us different, have a look at our list of features for real estate video and content management. It's a treasure trove of hard-nosed enterprise features designed to help your you and your real estate organization, portal, or event operate productively and cost effectively.
Unlike almost every other video upload and conversion site, we don’t make our uploaded video immediately available to the world in a public channel. Members choose what videos that they want to make public or to syndicate to Vidlisting or partner websites. While our latest redesign reduces the number of displayed videos on our home page, know that over 1000 videos have appeared on Vidlisting’s home page since we launched.
The ability to upload into a private environment and make your own decisions about what is displayed is an important factor in maintaining real control over your content. As a result, only a small percentage of uploaded real estate videos will ever appear on the Vidlisting portal page.
Geolocation is a process of not only knowing where a given piece of content represents on earth but also knowing what’s around it. Vidlisting geolocates almost all content it handles and adds latitude/longitude data where necessary through a deceptively simple process. Vidlisting is able to geolocate in 80+ countries.
Some real estate video companies talk a lot about local video. In most cases, they rely on keywords or zip codes to tell them where something is "geolocated". The problem with this approach is that they may noot meet the second half of the geolocation definition ("knowing what’s around it"). Many properties are close to edge of a town border and things of interest just across the zip code or town’s border likely are not visible using a keyword system. Zip codes can often represent hundreds of square miles and are limited to the U.S. The simple question to ask vendors hawking local real estate video content is "how will I be able to group content from the local area?". If it involves manual grouping or is based on keywords, you'll likely not get the full benefit of a truly geolocated approach.
Vidlisting has incorporated local features directly into the portal’s search functionality.
Real estate videos are just one piece in a comprehensive real estate marketing strategy. We also want to help you leverage your other marketing materials with the power of our underlying online platform. We currently support PDFs, Microsoft Office files, web links, Youtube videos, and Real Estate Shows photo slideshows.
