Tired of having long urls’s for your virtual tours? Check out our new shorter and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly url for your virtual tours. Some URL examples are below:

Branded Virtual Tour:
http://www.firsthometour.com/497/branded
http://www.firsthometour.com/virtualtour/497/branded

Branded virtual tours follow the format of “http://www.firsthometour.com/” followed by your virtual tour number, in the above example 497. The last part of the URL can be anything that you want as demonstrated below:

Custom Branded Virtual Tour
http://www.firsthometour.com/497/firsthometour
http://www.firsthometour.com/497/my virtual tours

Non-Branded Virtual Tours (IDX Compliant):
http://www.firsthometour.com/497

This format is very simple, its our domain name followed by a slash and your virtual tour number.

Using these shorter virtual tour urls will make it easier for your users to remember and for search engines to index the content.

Enjoy,
The FirstHomeTour.com Support Team!

 alt=Interactive Floorplans – Got a floorplan? To use our floorplan feature upload the .jpg of a floorplan you have saved on your computer at no extra charge!  If you do not have a floorplan and would like to receive and estimate from our partner MeasureComp.com, click on the MeasureComp.com link under the floorplan tab.  Next you will be asked for the zip code and square footage of your property.  Don’t forget to enter the promo code “Floor” for $5 off your flooplan measure.  Once you have uploaded the flooplan you can click on Mappings to select and drop pictures onto your floorplan.  If the image is placed incorrectly, just select delete and the image will be removed from your floorplan. Floorplan Example

* Tip: Click on Options to name your floorplan (First Floor, Second Floor, etc.)

FirstHomeTour.com has made it even easier for you to keep track of your listing duties!  Now check what you have already done with your tours just by viewing the “Finish Tour” Tab.  From flyer printing and property syndication to image uploading you will be able to view all the options for your listing in one convenient place! A check box will appear next to the option you have already completed.  FirstHomeTour.com Tip: For optimal distribution and help selling your property faster in a slower market make sure all your boxes are checked! We have also updated your branded and non-branded virtual tour links for even easier copying to add to your MLS, website or any of your other online marketing avenues. FirstHomeTour.com Tip: When pasting the non-branded virtual tour link into your MLS, make sure there are not two sets of the http:// included.  Some MLS companies add their own for you.  If you have two sets, the virtual tour link will not work properly.
