How To
Upload a Photo to the a Listing Gallery
Adding your professionally-captured Listing photos to a Listing in your Brixwork website is fast and easy. your photos will look crisp, without losing any quality! Also please note that you can only add photos to Listings marked as your own.
1. To upload photos to a listing's photo gallery on your site, start by going to the "Manage Listings" tab at the left bar of the back-end site.
2. Click on "Edit" in the Listing you want to add the pictures to.
3. Switch to the "PHOTOS" tab once the listing edit page loads.
4. Here, select or drag and drop the pictures you want to add. If this listing imported from the MLS®, it may already have images ready.
There is no limit to how many pictures you upload. Our system will automatically size the images to web, mobile, and thumbnail sizes to optimize load speeds.
Your photos are going to appear in the Listing's gallery. Add a caption/description to each photo if you care about SEO (Google ranking) and AEO (appearing on AI queries).
How To
Describe and Rearrange Photos in the Gallery
Rearranging the Listing Gallery is very simple. You only have to drag the "preview" of each picture and drop it to the position you want. This will be auto saved once you are done!
To add a caption or description to the pictures, enter a title for each photo in the box next to the preview. These descriptions become the alt (alternative) text on your image tags, which has a big impact on SEO and AEO.
Best Practices for Describing Each Photo
Use natural human words, and be descriptive. "2nd Bedroom Looking Out To The Yard" is better than "Bedroom", although anything is better than DSC_0198.jpg.
Repeating the address is not necessary. The listing page itself has the address, area, and city, and the meta title is the best place for geographic keywords such as "House in Vancouver" or "Downtown Toronto Condo". If the neighbourhood description fits the context, such as in "Unusually large patio for a Yaletown condo", it is acceptable.
Do not keyword stuff. Shoving in the home address and area, or putting phrases in like "Vancouver Realtor" over and over does not help - if anything, Google may detect that as a "keyword stuffing" attempt and demote you. Google understands that words like "Miele appliances" or "Garage, with a new door installed in 2023" are related to real estate listings and homes.
