1. AI-enhanced hero photos
Perspective correction, exposure recovery, white balance and 8K upscaling turn phone photos into portal-ready assets. On ImmoScout24, Zillow and Rightmove, the hero photo drives 60 % of click-through — nothing else moves the needle harder.
2. Cinematic 20-second walkthrough video
Image-to-video AI stitches your enhanced photos into a dolly-style walkthrough. Listings with a video are opened 3× more often (Zillow, 2025) and sell 32 % faster (NAR, 2024).
3. Short-form vertical cuts for Reels & TikTok
- 9:16 vertical crop of the walkthrough — Instagram Reels & TikTok
- Hook in the first 1.5 seconds: price + neighborhood
- Caption in first person, geo-tag the district
- Post 3× per week per active listing
4. Neighborhood micro-content
Coffee shops, transit, schools, weekend spots — the 30-second neighborhood reel outperforms the listing video for top-of-funnel discovery. Same phone, same afternoon.
5. AI-written portal descriptions
Portal algorithms reward long-form, structured descriptions with amenity keywords. Archify's AI writes them per portal spec — Booking, Airbnb, ImmoScout24 all have different scoring signals.
6. Retargeting with the 6-second stinger
Cut the walkthrough to 6 seconds for Meta and Google Video Reach. Retarget everyone who watched > 50 % of the full video. Cost-per-lead drops 40 % vs cold audiences.
7. Email drip with the hero image
The enhanced hero photo in the first email of a saved-search drip lifts CTR by ~25 %. Same asset, new placement.
8. Virtual tour on the listing page
Even a simple auto-generated walkthrough beats no tour. Interactive Matterport tours convert best on luxury properties; for everything else, an AI walkthrough is 95 % of the value at 5 % of the cost.
9. Google Business Profile posts
For agents, weekly GBP posts with the enhanced hero photo lift local pack impressions by 20–40 %. Two-minute job, direct SEO signal.
10. Testimonial reels from real clients
60-second phone-shot testimonials — closed deal, why they picked you. Post as Reels and pin on the profile. Highest-converting content in the entire funnel.
