Adding a 360 Virtual Tour to an Airbnb property

 

 

 

Using a 360° Virtual Tour (VT) is a great way to showcase your property to Airbnb customers – however It is generally not possible to use this technology directly on the Airbnb platform. With our approach you can.

Using a 360° VT is a great way to differentiate and help your property stand out from the crowd. Not only can we deliver you a world class VT, we are good at  generating significant additional content from these images. As well as a 360° VT we can provide a Video of the Tour which can be used on most social media platforms, we can also supply versions of the 360° images that are optimised for use on Facebook.

 

Your potential Airbnb customers are then able to view your property with a 360° VT using their smartphone or laptop 24/7. Our approach uses a QR code that we generate for you (a normal jpeg image) you add it to your Airbnb property gallery, your clients follow the QR code to view your property’s VT and Video. In combination the 360° VT and Video provide you with powerful and effective marketing assets and truly set you apart on the Airbnb platform.

 

 

 

 

This is an example of a Virtual Tour link added to an Airbnb property using a QR code – you can check right now to see how it works:

If you use this QR code as an example you have a couple of options:

To use on your Computer:

Right click on the QR code

Select ”search image with Google”

Click on ”Website link” button

To use on your Mobile Device:

Touch the QR code on your screen

Select ”search image with Google lens”

Click on ”Website link” button

In the example above potential clients can link out to your property Virtual Tour or Video Tour. These assets offer more of an insight into the property, increase the amount of time spent looking at your property and can often answer questions that clients may have. Essentially the VTs can get potential clients closer to a booking than conventional images alone. An added benefit is that the VTs open in separate screens so the user is never taken away from your property page.

”We are very pleased with the 360° Virtual Tour and Video from Orbitvisual. The Virtual Tour enables our guests to see inside and view all around our property. Using the QR Code has made viewing the Tour very simple.”

Some VT statistics from Google:

Google commissioned an independent study of the effectiveness of Virtual Tours – the study found:

 

 

“Virtual Tours Help Double Interest In Business”

Those who view a listing with a Virtual Tour are twice as likely to be interested in booking a reservation there. Prospects are 130% more likely to book based on a Tour.

 

 

“Virtual Tours keep people looking at a website 5 to 10 times longer.”

 360° photos and Virtual Tours are sources of deep engagement, especially when combined with hotspots and meaningful content.
