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.
