Synchronize properties to your Facebook catalog

Utilizing the Facebook Catalog, real estate agents can publish property listings directly on your Facebook page and create targeted ads for higher conversion. This approach increases property exposure to a wider audience, and can also redirect traffic to your website.

Before you begin

• Create a Facebook Page for your business if you don't have one yet.

• Create a business portfolio in Business Manager so you can assign your catalog to your business. Make sure you have full control of the business portfolio.
  Note: The Meta Business Account, sometimes called a Business Manager account, is being renamed to business portfolio. This change will appear gradually across Meta technologies.
