Photographs are the cornerstone of any listing marketing campaign. As they are used in everything from the home’s
Individual Listing Website to the feature sheets and formulate the visual impact of the home’s internet presence,
photographs must be of top quality. Ensuring that only professional photographs that position the property in the best
possible light are used is instrumental to the effectiveness of the whole campaign.

15. individual listing website
The Individual listing site is the keystone of the Sage Comprehensive Marketing Campaign as it will become the
target focal point of the digital marketing for your home. Once there, at your home’s own website, prospective buyers
will be able to obtain all pertinent information about your home, view its virtual tour, professional photographs, video
slideshow and map its location. Buyers can easily contact your salesperson from that site to ask further questions or
request an appointment to see through.
Details:
Potential Domain Names for your home are identified and then one is secured. Usually it will be the home’s
municipal address.
A Sign Rider will be attached to the For Sale sign that has the home’s website URL right on it to drive
passerby traffic to your home’s website.
Google ad-words will be chosen and purchased. These ad-words invite internet buyers who are interested
in your exact type of property to click through to your home’s website. (see Google Pay-Per-Click Campaign)
Every visitor to your home’s website will have their visit monitored, tracked and assessed through Google
analytics. (see Individual Listing Website Report)
Syndication:
Realtor.ca by itself is no longer enough. We have identified 5 different websites that we load your listing on to
maximize it and your exposure both locally and internationally.

avenue that we can leverage to its maximum for our Seller’s benefit. We create a power point slide show and upload
it to your salesperson’s SlideShare account together with the PDF of the feature sheet of your home. From there we
can then have it appear on the salesperson’s LinkedIn profile.
