Quality-control checklist
Before publishing, verify the property details, branding, room sequence, crop, captions and disclosures. AI-assisted visuals should not introduce nonexistent features or imply changes to permanent structures. Ask the listing agent or brokerage approver to sign off on the finished media.
What should you measure?
Track qualified conversations, property enquiries and booked viewings where possible—not only impressions or likes. Test different first frames, lengths and calls to action, then reuse the formats that actually generate relevant interest.
