How to Setup your kvCore Website -- From Start to Finish (2019)

okay all right we're recording we are live there are currently 18 people on here there's like 35 who signed up that's fine if not everybody can come I'll record it and and it's it will be out there and this one's gonna be pretty intense because I'm basically gonna show you everything I can possibly do in one hour getting somebody completely set up and if I hit that means I have time to do these pages - I will I am going everybody right now so if you need to talk then just unmute yourself otherwise you can use the chat there you go that's nice okay so I muted everybody and we're gonna get started so Debbie is actually on with us tonight I she's somebody who signed up with me to have her KB course set up so I asked her ahead of time if I could use her site as an example and she said yes so let's just look at her site I do want to mention something else is somebody in workplace just brought up a great point and I can relate I think he said you know I really understand KT core is so important because I mean the reason I joined exp was for KT core that was one of his main reasons for joining because you know we're gonna get free leads and its lead generating cutting edge blah blah blah but then there's this huge learning curve and yeah I I get that and it's well that's what I seen that's why I kind of started doing what I've been doing is because I saw that it is just really holding a lot of people back and it just shouldn't um so I'm trying to just break it down and make it accessible to everybody you know not everybody knows all about websites and you know and it's it is kind of with KP core I really you wish it was set up for you a little better already without you having to do quite so much to make it better but it is what it is right now okay okay and they're always changing and they're always improving so you know that's just kind of we get to be the ones that they're practicing on all right so we're gonna start looking at Debbie's website so this is great because it's basically a virgin website and she doesn't have her picture here um she you know she she hasn't done anything with her title it just looks the way it looks now I'm not gonna do a ton of customization or anything there are some fancy things you can do with this I'm not doing that okay she does have some areas that they cut that she covers listed here I don't know if they're all her areas I'm going to look but um but I've seen some that have no areas listed whatsoever um so let's look um here she's got she doesn't have any custom pagent pages for her agent profile does she have anything less see she's got basically nothing for her agent profile so this is great it's gonna be fine let's set her up are you ready okay so um I have and I will share this with everybody I have created a template for myself now I it has stuff filled in here with other people's stuff and we're kind of kind of just pasted over it as we go and this template I can share with you if you would like to use it if you feel like that would help me organize myself I'm happy to share it and I will do that if you know maybe when I make the YouTube video of this I will post the shareable link of this document Oh while I'm at it when I share a Google Doc with you that's that's viewable to you but you don't have access to I'm as far as you have access to it but you can't you can't type in it because and then what you just try to request access from me you don't have to do that all you have to do is click on file click on file and make a copy okay and then you make a copy and put it in your own Google Drive and if you don't have a Google Drive then you can download it is one of these type of documents okay okay moving right along alright so this is my little shishi um okay so let's start first things first domain forwarding if you have your own domain that you purchased from GoDaddy let's say let's say you have you know John Doe calm or cool guy real estate calm you can forward that to your exp real TKB core website please please please do not forward it with what's called masking forward it without masking and in this template that I'm gonna be providing for everybody it's got directions about how to forward your domain - Katie core website okay okay sorry I can't move my neck and my son's okay alright so let's start with agent profile setup I am here's Debbie's back end here I'm gonna click on her dashboard I think I'm already in the dashboard trying to be able to see everything here and I'm waiting come on little computer you can do it okay so agent setup first things first we can go to web ID X the way that you can see that is you can click on expand or collapse of this little these little three lines and click on web ID X that's step one okay then this is sort of the website manager and as you can see we got enough going on absolutely nothing I'm happy because that's what I wanted to be able to show you when they had just nothing happening but the first thing we're gonna do is we are going to update Debbie's profile so what we do is we click here at the top right hand side and we just scroll down here and click on my profile okay so here we are we got nothing going on this is her details for her profile and the first thing we're gonna do is we are gonna create her profile okay so some of you have might already have gotten to this part and that is great so we're gonna click here to upload upload her photo and luckily I got it I did a little prep work beforehand so I got a beautiful I love this picture it is so pretty okay there's her name um now um I don't have that's why I need her MLS ID we'll deal with that later Debbie we'll get that later so what we need is we need your nerds number and we need your MLS ID number okay that's why remember Debbie when you and I were looking on this earlier and it wouldn't show your listings I think it's because you didn't put your MLS number in here we'll double-check that that is that is a possibility I'm not for sure I'm speculating okay that's your cell phone number what I wanted to double-check I noticed there was a different number up here that I think is your smart number okay so your cell phone number is in there good okay and you do want to make sure that your cell phone number is the one showing here which yours is okay um you don't want your smart number to show there so here's why you don't want your smart number your smart number is something that is shared with other people other exp agents in your area okay so you don't want to use that for people to call you because it's like a round-robin okay the only thing we're gonna use that smart number for is when you text people a code because you can create a unique code that nobody else can create for that smart number and when people text that code to the number you're gonna get the lead and that's and that's all you want to do use it for okay the other thing that I want to mention here is somebody else that I was working with I noticed she had a cell phone number that started with a four but her number here started with the two and it wasn't her smart number and she said she wanted that number that started with a two up here and I'm like but what kind of number is that like why aren't using your cell phone number she said well the number that start with a two is a local number and I really want to be able to use that local number so I have all my calls forwarded from that number to to my regular cell phone number I'm like okay is it like a Google Voice number are you able to get texts from that number too and she's like no I can't get any texts I'm like let's not use that number then because if you have your number and your website people might text you and you don't want to miss text so just who cares if it's not a local number just nobody cares anymore we live in a cellphone technology so it's fine now if you're concerned about it maybe considered getting a Google Voice number that's a local number and using that but you don't want to miss texts okay I've said enough all right back to what we were doing gosh I hope I don't talk too long on this hmm never know with me okay so that's her email address is so we got to do everything here all right so her website address is this I'm gonna copy it and I'm going to paste it and then she does have a Facebook profile good job Debbie okay um you know and you don't have really a even though you said you do have LinkedIn I gotta find what your login what your what it is but you know it's fine if you don't really use anything but Facebook but you definitely have to have a facebook business page and you definitely have to be using it okay I'm gonna paste notice I'm gonna paste the entire URL in there not just a just not just part of it but the entire one I'm she probably she's been a realtor for 19 years she probably has did that designations I'm not gonna worry about that right now um I know she speaks English maybe she speaks another language too but I don't know right oops why why okay there um we're not gonna choose a lender I'm not gonna put her license number in here right now but she could add her license number and she could be a well she is an agent owner cuz we're exp but we'll just put realtor she could be an Associate Broker but we're just gonna put realtor for now okay and she didn't have any of these other type of social media which is fine um for her by oh I did she had a little nice little bio on her Facebook page so I'm just gonna use that for now I do have I'm gonna tell you something else about that in a minute I do have in this little template that I'm gonna share with you I have this um how how to write a bio with with a template and some examples a real simple bio that you can just follow and it will help you just write a good bio okay I used it recently actually for myself first speaking event I'm doing I was like oh I'm glad I did that okay [Music] signature now um I she she emailed me something earlier and you know I've noticed this with a couple of Realtors they have you know a lot going on with their email address and you know we all have like this wire instructions and stuff unless that's fine oh there's some of her designations um W you could be ad these designations to your Egypt profile too but I'm not gonna do that right now which is for time sake but what I'm going to do is I'm not gonna use this entire thing for her Kaiba Corp signature you don't when people get stuff in their email we get too many emails number one but when you get stuff and there's just a lot of writing and a lot of signatures and stuff it's like and the signature is longer than what the email says it's just too much so I like to keep the KB score signature super simple I'm talking like name hang on any day now okay name and we're gonna get rid of everything else here this signature box is actually kind of a pain to work in you'll see what I mean when you do it yourself we're not gonna worry about any of this right now okay we're just gonna keep it clean and simple okay all right we're gonna leave it like that just nice and simple now if we want to get a little crazy we can add like get your instant value Sylvia yes most most states are going to require exp Realty in there too in the signature you're gonna require it yeah oh yeah in the email it isn't Texas it is in South Carolina whenever you're a real estate agent yes in your email you have to have that in your signature okay you do there I put it I don't know about her state but I know in Texas and South Carolina you do okay you're there is that better yeah you bet okay thank you fine good so check with your state fools how's that but try not to have everything because you know this especially because what you're using this email for is to communicate back and forth with your leads and you just don't you want to have the least amount of gobbly now some people have to have like a ton of disclosures like this disclosure that was wiring fraud bla bla bla bla bla bla bla so if you're one of those go ahead and put it in there but I'd almost rather create a custom page with all those disclosures and then have a link here that says disclosures and then link it to that custom page with all your disclosures okay that's just my little two cents just to clean things up okay so now the big important thing is saving so did you hear notice how I click Save alright so again Debbie we want to put in your MLS ID here and also your nerds number okay so that's that we got that done okay now we're gonna go back to web ID X so we get the agent profile done but there's something else that I want to go to to make sure go away I got a little somebody sent me a st. Patrick's Day thing and I'm like that's great but you're interrupting alright how do you make that go away okay weird have mercy okay alright so here check out lead routing okay I want to see what's happening on lead routing to see how she's getting notified for her leads so I'm going to edit it right now it's round robin just her and this is good okay this is good it's it's set so that when she gets a lead she'll be texted and she'll be emailed but she won't also be called because that would be a pain when you start getting a lot of leads oh that would stress me right out so anyway I just wanted to make sure all right going back to web IDX I don't see any questions in the chat we're doing good so far okay now the number the next thing we're going to do is we are going to go we could do a lot of things here with testimonials I don't do that in my k/d core set up but notice how there's no service areas that she's actually added so we're going to put them in that's important now what I could do if I really want to as I could click on is I'm just gonna show you I can click on add all cities in the MLS why not Adam ah and then for keywords I could write homes for sale and then click Save and then I'd be done but they need to see if every one but we're not gonna do that okay we want to we want to really develop the areas we want to work in and it's not gonna hurt anything if you have all these service areas here but it will allow you to just develop these areas more if you really start working on the niche that you want to work in so let's go and see if I can remember what area she does want to work in I pasted it somewhere I got it somewhere okay she wants to work in alright hmm I'm gonna have to learn how to say sir you know how when things are not familiar to you and like Collierville Cordova I mean it's not like I don't know what they say it's just not familiar to me I used to live in Pennsylvania and oh my gosh some of the names of those towns and places no okay okay so what we're gonna do you have to kind of type in and we're gonna Memphis now there so see it so it's got even neighborhoods you can add so Debbie if you want to add neighborhoods you can but let's just add what you told me so Memphis is a city and then I'm going to write homes for sale just as a keyword now I am including in this template I am including directions for enhancing your keywords and page text I'm not doing that in the setup I'm just doing like the basic minimum okay it's more than other people do for the money they charge but it's really all you really need to I mean I don't have a bunch of stuff on my own website maybe eventually but okay so what was the other collar collar Collierville Collierville let's see over there's the city look at that now again did you see all that other stuff I could have ad and I in Debbie can go back in here and she can add all that but the trick is putting keywords and then you have to save each one it's really silly but you do we have to save it otherwise it goes bye-bye somebody's chatting with me can you do one as an example Diana can I do one what one what because I'm trying to do things as an example right now so which do you need me to do as an example and if it's any more than I'm doing right now I don't know time page sex no I'm not gonna do that right now but what I will show you is that I'm gonna give you this um this page and then there is this C SEO search area pages I'm supporter to come and give you and it tells you more about what you can do there okay I don't have time to - no we're not doing that I mean I could same stuff about a neighborhood I could say stuff about text about a city now we don't have time for that right now um Sylvia might want to cover the lender section I don't want to cover the lender section but um um when I first saw the lenders what he's saying is in lenders section when he saw all the lenders in his categories wondering who they all were but apparently every lender that any exp agent in my state enter shows in your lender section yes it's that's right any but you can choose any of those lenders but then what happens is then whenever you get a lead then that lender gets the lead - I mean that's just not something that I feel like taking on right now and if that's an area you really want to get into great there's a support articles about doing that um that's not part of what I'm talking about now to get people just launched so they can use their KB core that's all we're trying to do today is help you know what the heck do I gotta do to just make my site functional okay so I don't use that lender hurt with my I just don't I can't I have enough lenders like my ass already and I like to choose which lender I use for my different clients based on personality and needs and blah blah blah so that's just how I feel about it but I mean if you want to figure all that out and do like a whole training on it please do I'm not gonna okay um where was he I was somewhere somewhere okay I got Collierville Cordova Germantown let's get through the rest of this clip quick Cordova is there a city cool there is City and Germantown cuz there is it the city oh it is and what else dubby Bartlett Arlington Lakeland Bartlett oh and it's not right Bartlett Lakeland [Music] yes okay couple more Piper town Oakland and itza hi bird town I like that Piper town of some hyper hyper ton Oakland what does it say Oakland and ease there we go alright and then I'm just gonna do homes for sale save homes for sale save I'm just pasting now I see there's a chat hold please they say so you gotta save each one otherwise it goes bye-bye when you click off this page it's really a drag okay so just for good measure I'm going to go back up and save each one I don't know if Kayla's on here let's ease my little friend Kayla on here I don't see her okay you guys doing good let's see what is that chassis does it help anything to add an area and the city yes I mean good question so for me like I have it's those Grand Rapids City Grand Rapids area great neighborhood I choose it all okay I choose it all and then add the keywords and you can add other different keywords again this article I'm gonna share with you tells you some examples and then page text so yes anything that's available now there's a lot of neighborhoods for in my MLS that don't show up in here so I just do everything that I can anything that people would be searching for so again this article that I share it is I'm going to be right here this is gonna it's pretty easy guide to read this is a one-page article that gives you some instructions and you can add more so the trick is once you've added them in there you save and then you're good to go okay alright so then go back to web idx and let's see what we did here it's 801 you guys this is gonna be one that goes to like 9 o'clock we're gonna be right up to Jonathan Dupri's time then you gotta learn how to be like the best agent ever in his class okay alright so look at that now again she can go in here that he can go in here again we go to web ITX click on view and edit service areas and she can find Moore's neighborhood 's and areas as she wants to work in like she also mentioned like Shelbyville County let's I want to put that in just so you can see so you don't put in just cities she mentioned two things Shelbyville right oh it's just Shelby just Shelby that's what she would have said come on Internet Shelby County is what it was Shelby County I'll look at that neighborhood interesting fine and then she another one she said was Fayetteville Fayetteville why that shows as a neighborhood I don't know see okay save save all right I got a chat why doesn't my phone number show up on my website after adding it we will get to that maybe hold please all right write down your questions all right and we will hopefully have a Q&A at the end all right I'm going back to website manager you know we really gonna at least get through the entire website set up tonight and then I taught you how to do squeeze pages and stuff but I really want to show you what I do for that again - all right so the next thing we're gonna do is custom pages and what we're gonna do is we are gonna add Debbie's home keeper block and um it was kind of interesting because earlier um I she she logged in and she had like another account looks so strange to me um and in fact you know is you could tell she has another businesses Debbie fleur endo 2w and I are gonna work together with home hubert keeper to get this fix but it was from her keller williams time to keller williams so I had her used the specific experience he broke her link to create a new one so that's what we did so anyway if that's you you can work with home keeper to get those two accounts merged or just you know fix it so so anyway what I did here is I'm on her home keeper login I'm here under widgets I'm gonna click on embed widget and I did see how do we get that home keeper I can't find that where is that they know how do you do what how do you do is what was Cohen keeper where do we get that link I'll give it to you right now perfect thank you thank you thank you so I did a video about this I know you did I haven't seen it yet so but know about exp cloud like XP cloud will answer every possible question that you have like if everybody just 1 to XP cloud all their problems would be solved but yet exp cloud I'm going to go here to business tools vendors and home keeper and then look at that see that link that's the special link right there I'm gonna put it in the chat I was trying to follow you no you're good and now um you went to cloud where else did you go X ok so exp cloud calm yep business tools okay bender resources ok home keeper app Oh perfect ah but I just put in the chat the other place that you're gonna get it is I am going to share and I'll do it I'm going to share this template after I get this all cleaned up with people's personal information out of here I will share the template um to everybody that registered for this this tonight will get it in their email but also when I make the video for this I'll put it in the description of the video because I actually have the link for home keeper this is the link right there okay to that particular actually let's get rid of this so you can tell that it's the link that's what I'm gonna do okay see so that you'll get that ok any other questions right now all right back to where we were all right custom pages what I was doing is um I'll start from the beginning here so I'm on her dashboard and at her dashboard under widgets I'm gonna click on embed widget there's two types of widgets ones a home pros search widget and the other one is the blog widget we want to go to the blog widget so I click on blog widget then I'm going to see two types of code here once for JavaScript and one's an iframe we want the iframe JavaScript no that's for and see people we're not fancy we're just going to take the iframes okay and you can click on copy code and I'll you know and it'll grab it but I like to select and see what I'm doing and then copy you know it's just how you do it if I click on copy code it would be the same so it's just anyway going back here to custom pages I'm going to click on new page and then this screen comes up now I can't just well I could I could just paste this in here but that's not gonna do anything okay that's then one if I go to create this page that codes just gonna show so the way to get this code to show is this little symbol here that's a symbol for entering source code so I'm gonna click on source code and this box comes up and I'm gonna paste the source code in there I'm gonna click OK alright there it is there's all her blog posts isn't that pretty okay now for the title I'm just gonna call this homeowner tips I could call this home keeper blog homeowner tips whatever I call us whatever I want to but I'm gonna call homeowner tips there's other different things options here for for different types of pages we're just doing this type of page right now where I added code in here so a lot of this I don't need to fill out okay so new category one thing about this is when you're setting up pages you need two categories required and I want to be able to add a lot more pages in the future so I'm gonna give the category of more so and I'm gonna show you what we're gonna do with that in a minute but just remember I'm giving this the category of more and now that this category is going to be made on now it will under here choosing the category more will always be an option I'll be able to Jews in the future um now I'm not just for time sake I'm not gonna put a meta tag description or a meta keywords in here they're optional but what if I were going to do it I could type things in like home improvement home management home maintenance homeowner tips contractors electricians recommendations things like that for the meta tag description and meta keyword tag keywords it's it's not imperative that you do this it's cool might help drive people to your website though like find electricians in Memphis Tennessee would be keywords that you could put in there okay all right now you only would want to do that if you're actually recommending people and we'll talk about that a little bit too in a minute but this part child sites because Debbie's not on a team there are no child sites so it doesn't matter um but we're just gonna say no and then safe now this probably isn't gonna show up yet on her website and I'm gonna tell you why in a minute but what I wanted to do first is just talk a little bit about home keeper I don't want to spend a ton of time but in workplace I have a little document that tells you everything you can do with um home keeper and I just want to point it out to you because if you're somebody like gee I'd really like to know more about home keeper but I don't really get it I don't use it because they don't really understand it it's neat but whatever um I'm gonna point you in the right direction so in our dum-dums group we're not done but it's just a lot there's a lot to do you guys there's a lot that gets missed because there's so much we all need like ten assistants oh thank you Debbie for your information here I will put that in your profile later okay um so where's my words where's our my computer I have too much running and so my computer doesn't like it dum-dum finding results okay so here we go so here's our dum-dums group you guys under files I've got how to use your home keeper app now if for some reason you couldn't find this because these these documents move based on when other people or more documents are added you could just type in the word home keeper and notice that it doesn't have an e at the end it's just spelled weird so I could type that in searching in the group and then everywhere it's mentioned home keeper if things would pop up so what we're looking for is a document so I'm going to click on how to use home keeper app and what I've got here is I've got that link of how to sign up this is how you create your free account premium premium account and then I've got like a description of what you get with it an example of what you get and weird when you can go to the training it happens the first Tuesday of every month in exp world I do have my little how to um sorry I'm waiting for how to video how to add this these blog posts in there into your Katie court then there's a webinar that you can go to and I think going to the webinar is almost easier than going into the world and they do these every month these just homekeeper webinars in there for anybody that uses homekeeper and so the founders themselves go over all the training of what you can do with it then there's a little short demo like a two-minute demo of what home paper can do for you as an agent and then this is little you know one minute long home keeper demo you can share with your clients of what it can do and then this is a quick tip training playlist of all the different things that's their short little trainings of what you can do with home keeper and how to use it so I hope that was helpful see if I got I saw somebody chatting with me so no I'll go to that those trainings I just pointed out all right because when there's a lot you can do with them it's too much I don't have time to do that okay you missed content Angela what do you mean you miss the content info oh gee add the site content or blog widget it won't let me save are you trying to do this right now I don't know it's I can't help you when you're trying to do right now go back and watch this or afterwards mess with it again and if it still doesn't work you can message me okay all right Angela okay I'm and we're gonna be here till 11:00 if you guys keep asking me questions okay all right so I did that so what I wanted to tell you is know how we created that um custom homepage let's go see what's on there and it's not gonna be how I want it and I'm gonna tell you why in a minute but let's look so we're on her page okay so it isn't there um her I'll show you how it looks oh look at a pretty picture so much nicer okay home owner tips so um and here it here it here it is okay here's all the tips okay um so what I want to look like though is uh you know how I created that more category I want to be able to continue to add custom pages in the future like maybe I want to add neighborhood pages maybe you I want to add my Zillow profile page maybe I want to add an intro video page about myself you know with my intro video or my videos page maybe I want to add a lot more pages so I want this to show more and then with a drop down of a lot of you know other pages so let's show you how to do that it's coming so keep that in your pipeline alright so now that we're done with service areas and custom pages I'm going to click back on web idx you guys doing good you know it's a lot I mean this is I mean for some of you you're like yeah yeah I know all this stuff whatever but some of you're like I don't have any clue what's going on and that's fine you might have to watch this over and over again and please stop me if you if for some reason you know things aren't saving there's something that we missed you know I honestly Katie Corey's just silly sometimes does stupid things sometimes so it just does okay um I wish it were perfect and it's just not but it doesn't it does give you some great leads alright and that's the whole reason we're doing this okay so we did all this now I want to do one other fun thing and since I don't know if is Debbie still I'm Debbie you're still on here so um Debbie you can you can message me or you can unmute yourself and tell me I want to give you a color cuz black is no fun I mean it's good for some people but Debbie you want a nicer color I know you do so I'm gonna go to pick a color so what I'm gonna do here is I'm going to now um I'm gonna go see this where it says edit settings you would think intuitively the edit settings meant edit this profile no that's not what this means if you want to go back and edit profile you click here an edit profile and it settings here means edit the whole website so I'm gonna click on edit settings and now this is the really fun part you guys um Merrill said if I'm a member of a team but KB core profile page says I'm not a team member I don't know that is a great question um you okay Merrill you might be a member of a team but your team is not set up like a team in Katy core which is fine okay there's a lot of teams in fact I've worked with a couple people on teams and they their team started out using kV core like a team and then they just decided they didn't like it so now they use it individually so oh you can hear somebody else's zoom call I will just what I'm gonna do Kim is just make sure I commuted everybody mu all so sorry about that I just hit mute again if you are not muted please mute yourself so okay Kim I just muted everybody so I don't know did can anybody else hear something that I can mute just muted everybody okay you all allow participants to okay continue it should be good okay we're good all right okay good Kim Risa said no it's just you all right all right are you ready to have a little fun this is the fun part you guys whoo okay um oh that was helpful okay so background pages so this is all the background images right now the background images that are on w website are these four and all four are checked in what that means is that every time you go to her website and look at a background picture or her home value page it'll kind of alternate these different pictures and so she's fine with these pictures and that's great but I found a couple pictures that I'm going to use cuz I want to show you on how you do it okay so I'm just gonna I don't know I don't really like this pictures pictures weird to me so I'm gonna get rid of it all right so I am going to add a new picture and the way there's a couple things you can do for pictures you guys a new agent who's coming out with me she told me about unsplash and I didn't even know about unsplash but unsplash is a website you can it's super nice if you give the photographers credit but you don't have to but you can download pretty nice images you just do a search and you can download them and then what I do once I download the pictures some people use canva and some people use of right things I use something called pic monkey and with pic monkey I can just you know upload those pictures and I can just resize them the way they want so the reason I'm telling you that but it's just a little background information is because when you upload these pictures it has to be six by 650 so that's the size of the pictures somebody's chatting with me okay good about the team okay Kim's back all right opaque pixels calm has pics and videos okay so yeah there's a lot of different resources you can go to to find different things so bill just put another example but I just want to show you how you would do this so for example I had some listing photos taken and I used some of those listing photos for mine and it's kind of just so it makes it more personal to you so what I'm gonna do so you can just drag an image here so I'm going to take one I'm gonna drag it here I don't know what this red line is you guys I honestly don't all right there it is and then it's like I want her to be a Save button and there's not so I'm just gonna click on save and see what happens okay it says it's saved hmm so I don't know what this red line is again every time I do one of these I have a different new fun issue oh here oh that's why I did you see this little guy you see this upload that's you gotta actually upload it sorry I missed that can't think of everything all the time you guys geez okay um is it there yet is that there yet oh there it is okay and it's selected so now I'm gonna save it so now I've got that one selected with these other ones that are also already selected so now that we saved that and click Save let's go back to her website and see if it worked so [Music] I'm going to click out of the EXP logo and just kind of refresh it and see if it pops up keep refreshing there it is look at that see just kind of so now that's the image I chose for her and you can you know again you can have a few images and they will rotate so I wanted to give you another example so Debbie has a beautiful listing right now that's like six hundred thousand dollars and so obviously she had these beautiful professional pictures taken so like I would totally use this one as a photo maybe that one maybe the Anika that one's nice I love this one I would totally use that picture as one of my background images maybe that one so anyway you might use some of your listing photos you you own them you bottom very own by you you could use them and I just tell my clients hey I want you is it okay if I use this photo for my website and most of them are like oh my gosh yes they're so flattered because you want their beautiful house that they want too much money for her oh okay wait somebody you guys are chatting with me what's the size it's it's it's like 1600 by 650 it's right in there um Debbie it tells you what size so you don't even have to ask me because it is right in there see right there okay W likes that one good why do you select more than one you W you don't have to you could have just one the only reason you would select more than one is if you wanted a little variety on your website and you want in more than one picture to show up like every time somebody went there it wouldn't just be the same picture every time it would always be like a little different picture but you could have me you could have just one I have just one myself right now so yeah okay I hope that helps all right we got the picture that was step one of some fun things now what we're gonna do is we're gonna go down through these little options we'll check them so do we want to hide the resources page no do we want to hide office information great question it depends on you and what your state requires and what your broker says in blah blah blah but what that means is see this office information right here that address if I click type that address it would hide it and it would just have exp Realty Memphis area and the phone number my phone number ok so if you don't want the broker address to show there somewhere and that's okay with everybody in your world your state or your broker then great hide it I don't just ignore that height that print flier button but no do we want to mandate a phone number I don't like mandating phone numbers because I just want at least an email address and if I'd require a phone number to I might not even get an email so I don't um okay Diana yours is required in Tennessee so yeah just leave it there then you know don't remove it if and I didn't remove my knee to exam care some people it really bothers them that it says you know a broker office so far away from them and nobody cares nobody looks at their page as much as you look at it nobody cares anyway okay now website title so let's look at her title currently and if everybody gets this that's two things I've noticed so you either have something like this which is fine or it'll have like your contact information just I don't I can't figure out why it's different for some and others but you know automatically but we're going to make it the way we want it so I talked to Debbie earlier and asked her what what do you want to say so you know what are you really what's your area that you cover so where we can tweak this later Debbie so I'm not gonna worry about making it perfect right now for time sake but we're gonna write Memphis and surrounding areas I'm just kind we can leave it like that okay that's gonna be the website title Memphis and surrounding areas I'm gonna click Save and then for the Meta Description I'm gonna do a little more find homes for sale now these are like keyword phrases find homes for sale in Memphis and Fayette I'm not spelling it right Fayette counties so he's that high spelling and and then I can also write something like each town that she wants to work in as well here with this meta description I'm not gonna do that right now for time somebody's chatting with me yes okay W said yes so as an example of other things I could write so for somebody else in California what we wrote for her is greater Sacramento area with a little - and then we wrote the city's place or Sacramento El Dorado and Nevada counties old sorry those are counties so if you wanted to serve all those counties and then I wrote find homes for sale in Sacramento place or El Dorado and Nevada counties at exp Realty California oh that's that reminds me I want to say attics exp royalty that's that's important okay add exp Realty so again when you get this template you guys that kind of that example information I will leave in there so you can just kind of follow that template I hope that's helpful okay it's 8:30 we're doing good we're gonna get through this website setup but probably be nine o'clock okay all right whether to ask for a unit number in valuation sign it for yes fine I know that Debbie works with condos so she might have a unit number and that that matters so she wants to use it I'm just for good measure I'm gonna click yes and save I'm recruit text don't worry about that I don't again that redlines their custom header we're not going to talk about that right now it's not necessary not something you need to worry about some skipping all this I'm skipping this too okay this is fun Facebook username for chat now what we can do is we can we can turn on the chat option so that somebody can chat with us through our website using our Facebook account so um Debbie Florin oh there she is so I just want to grab this is her you username right here now you can do this for your personal profile it will work for or your business page so if you have a business page you know use that one but if you don't you could use your personal one so I'm gonna save that and so we're gonna be activating in a moment her facebook chat widget we're not gonna worry about connecting Zillow reviews here but I do have in this little template directions on how to do that I'll show you did to do so--here Oh fronting for this guy by there for this person by the way this other person I did replace their smart number cuz I noticed they're smart number was on there and I put their agent cell instead and then they wanted their broker address removed so I did that okay what was I about your I have some information about adding Zillow R abuse to your website okay so I just want to show you that in this template you'll be able to follow this template it will be helpful to you okay and hair child testimonials you know I mean skipping that that doesn't matter okay the the website template basically you get to foundation you I don't like it I like the hero template template hmm but this is the fun part where we get to choose kind of the color so for me like I have like um like teal like or cyan or something I don't know let me think about Debbie Debbie a blue smalt is let's just see it let's just see what blue smelt is okay so we're gonna you're gonna work did I save it let's see oh there oh that's quite blue that is quite blue that's what blue smelt looks like holy I kind of like it though it's bright um but let's show you one mother color and then so Debbie you can choose your colors what I'm saying and it's kind of fun let's see who's chatting wo she wants purple you're a good girl me too I love purple I was actually thinking about purple for you so we've got eggplant and there's a purple and there's also like a deep purple let's see what this regular purple looks like I did do a deep purple for somebody and I really liked it um let's see what the purple looks like so it's a like that's like a lighter lavender but I just want to show you the deep purple and then you tell me which one you like it's kind of nice having around here so you can choose so I want to show you this deep purple or this deep purple style too is what it is okay but you can choose this purpley lavender one so the Deep Purple's little I don't know and I just don't like that picture see I want to get rid of that picture deputy you like that picture I don't like it I like my picture um I just think it's messy I don't think the pictures they put on here are that nice I'm trying to get to see see that's another picture they put on here that I don't like so I'm trying to get to my picture so we let's look at it with my picture waiting to get there yeah I might just get rid of these and you can just use just my picture Oh see that's so pretty just nice and clean ah it's much better ok you like the darker purple yeah see you're so smart me too ok so anyway see I think these pictures I mean it's like it's like when you're looking at a listing you guys if people don't have beautiful pictures it's like this this is not as pretty to look at so I don't know why they have some ugly pictures that KB Corps has picked out for us but there's also some pretty ones that there's in there I don't know why they even have the ugly ones but I like this one so we're gonna stick with the pretty okay alright so I saved that did I I'm just gonna double check okay background YouTube video this is e instead of an image you could have like a moving image from a video I try that on mine and it just takes a really long time to load or it did back in the day and I just not try it again I don't like it I'm open notice how there's there's nothing selected here hi chat widget yes or no like it's just neutral um I don't want to hide the chat widget I want to say no don't hide it safe okay cuz I want that cool that ship now let's see if that worked Oh see see yes so see where it says chat with us at the bottom here let me see if I can move this up see chat with us isn't it cute I mean I click on this it's gonna go to her messenger I'm gonna be able to mess I have to sign in but I don't want to do that right now but I can message her from my facebook chat is what that is okay all right useful with customary and no use black color for header that is using the black logo instead of the color logo I'm gonna say no safe use primary color for header yes safe hide office name on homepage no I don't know why these aren't selected and I've seen this what I'm saying that I just I just do it and then I kind of go back and double-check and see what I did like I hope I didn't screw anything up but I feel like you'd get this functioning you need to have something selected oh there's the areas we chose isn't that nice okay everything's still good everything's still good oh I like that purple Debbie okay use square agent cover image and so the circle no use dark background image no hide agent image on homepage no you just kind of have to go through here and do this for some reason it's dumb and I'm sorry that you have to do that okay okay now we're at the custom navigation so we're gonna leave everything the way it is and again I do not know what this red line is about or whatever I think it's something to do is zoom because I've seen this before on zoom and it's nothing to do with Katie court and I I don't know why it's there but sometimes it happens we're gonna do two things on this navigation page the first thing that we're going to do is we're gonna select custom custom we're gonna select categories for navigation okay so remember that category of more it's then there we saved it and click more and hit save okay so select Canada for navigation and I selected more and I hit safe somebody's chatting with me what is my Wiseman I don't know Diane why your number isn't on your website write it down as a note and we'll get it together later tonight when we're all done with this okay and I'll see if I can help you all right so again select categories for navigation more save now let's see what did I'm gonna go back to her website and we're hitting refresh up see that so now it says more and it dropped down to homeowner tips that means if I create more custom pages and add it to the category of more then more will show I'm gonna show you what my website looks like I have not done anything to it in a long time and I'm like now that I'm setting up other people's websites and like I could do a lot more of my own website but I do have some custom pages there see I like I have this cyan I use this use this color for so much and see this is just one of my listings photos and I just like it I mean this house was kind of broken I mean like the cupboards were a little broken and stuff but the homeowner was so proud because she painted it really nice and she had a new like sub what he called that subway tile and and she did a really good job of getting it ready to sell so and she was so happy when I put this image here and I just liked the image way better than the images they were offering but notice I'm in my I've got this more and then I've got my homeowner tips and then I've got videos and you click on videos and it goes to my my intro video here and then if I go back oh there's Morgan I could I could I could have clicked on there sorry CMC I just have this one photo I don't have alternating photos background photos I click on Zillow reviews now you can you can I could have just my testimonials and a Zillow widget you can actually add a Zillow widget to your to your just like we added the home keeper widget you can add Zilla widget but you know I really like my Zillow profile you guys just because it has everything on there and I want people to a lot more reviews so that's why I decided I want more people to review me because I'm not really good at asking people to review me I'm trying to get a get better at that but it just has everything can put my intro video there I only want active listing now because my two listings just went pending which is awesome but anyway I just like my Zillow page so I have a link there notice mine says West Michigan homes Grand Rapids and surrounding areas so you know nothing too fancy and then I have real estate trends this I do have right now a keeping current matters um subscription to um I don't know if I'm gonna keep it it's really good though but gosh I just it's really good I just there's so much sometimes we can't do everything and can't manage everything you know what I'm saying okay so don't feel bad if you're not gonna do everything just do what you have to do that's what I say alright alright so besides that for the navigation the other thing for navigation that's important is the hiring link that's your joining link okay so right now I'll show you what's there right now and it's stupid I'm gonna click on it and why KB cordis doesn't do it this for us automatically I don't know but as you can see this we currently have a surplus of buyer and seller leads and need help now okay that's just weird and then it's this is just this is from a long time ago this is like very outdated information um and it's I hate it okay so what we're gonna do is we're going to use Debbie's actually her joining link which is Debbie Farah no dxp Realty you all have one and it's going to be your first and last name exp Realty careers and you can double check and I make sure that's her that's her that's her phone number this is her website so this is her joining link so she can you know hopefully people will find her and say I heard of exp I want to I want to request more information or I want to apply fantastic alright so what we're gonna do is fix that and we're going to hiring link see where this is hiring link we're going to paste over it and save tada so now if I go to her web page and I'm on the hiring link and we're waiting for my computer to do things and we're waiting we're hiring [Music] and there no it's going isn't that nice so nice okay we're at 1 hour and 15 minutes we're almost there we're so close ok so now that we got through those two important parts now I'm somebody's chatting with me so how do you upload the video um which video oh you're so what I did um Diana all I did is I go to create a custom page just like I did for home keeper and then I have a YouTube video that's my intro video you can have any type of video maybe and we're gonna do that someday - I'm gonna show you guys but you could have any video maybe you have like a homebuyer video I noticed somebody in that I'm gonna put this in a listing presentations group that Lynne Sanford had somebody made a video and she said hey you guys here's a video you could everybody can use it you can bring it to yourself you could take that video and you can upload it to youtube and then you take the embed code from that YouTube video so you know we click on share sharing a YouTube video you have two options you can share a link or you can find the embed code um so we click on share and it says link or embed okay I'm shoes embed take that embed code and put it in the source code just like we did for the home keeper app and tada that's how I did it the more button will not stay did you save it did you click Save maybe Diana you and I will talk after okay that's why um okay now hide resources to have again see how just says nothing I just want to say no I don't want to hide it hide finance tab I don't it's a non-issue for me but I'll sing ah I don't know what to do here I'm gonna say yes hide it because we're not dealing with that right now um hide we're hiring link no all right we're gonna leave everything else as it is okay and then these are all the types of things she serves yes do we want to limit our listing search to the counties your website services no we don't want to limit limited that we want to have the entire MLS remove options from area search list that monka monka no this it's fine you could is basically scrubbing the areas so this is removing options from area search list that most likely are invalid take it or leave it it doesn't matter the we're hiring link isn't a keyword content not the exp what the we're hiring link is the kV core content not the exp you just changed from link I don't know what you're talking about the we're hanging widget is the KB crib yeah exactly we're gonna talk about widgets yes bill we're gonna talk about widgets and when I get there yes I do not use that widget because it is it goes to that old recruiting text and we don't like that what I use for the widgets and I'll go over that in a minute is not that so thank you okay now default sort you could have you know low to high high low popularity I like to choose popularity for right now but we can change this to again low to high high to low your default sort how do you get to the address for the careers page so good question Julia again so click on a URL and then Julie younger right dot exp Realty dot careers oh look at their ear that's how do you get to it okay okay and if you're somebody and you can't find yours if yours nose isn't coming up then go to exp I'm tech outpost in world or do a support chat with exp support staff okay okay all right okay I don't want you guys to miss Jonathan Dupri's thing okay um okay so that's that we're done we did that and that's all we got I just I went through and made sure I saved everything and that is gonna give us a good start down the next thing I might click web ID X again and we are going to address the widgets that bill was talking about next okay and so again what I did here you guys I just selected come on little computer you can do it when zoom is running and recording from zoom it like slows everything down okay web idx is where I am okay that's how I got to this page just to go back and we're gonna go to widgets okay and then if there's already something up here and you're not sure you like it or you don't know if it's they're not you can click on clear website content what that's gonna do is just gonna clear just the widgets that you have so for example if you accidentally put one of these widgets that you didn't want like you didn't want the financing widget or you didn't want the just listed widget or you didn't want the blog post widget or this old recruiting image if you didn't want those things you could just clear this and it would just clear the widgets it would not clear your entire website I know cuz when I clicked on that I was like oh but no it doesn't do that and I was like ok so what I like to put on here is I like to choose homework and I like to choose open house those are a good starting point and then I click Add and then it says do you want to overwrite or append I just want to append and append now let's see what that looks like of course I clicking I'm gonna show you something else that I notice here in a minute okay all right see that look at that see that now just kind of changes a little gives you your site a little something something Debbie I really hate these pictures so I'm going to get in there because they're just driving me nuts I want to see your site pretty okay pretty we're doing all this work to it ring to those ugly-ass pictures sorry Katie Corbett ugly ass pictures okay we're at it setting so just to remind you how to do this edit settings and then what I'm going to do is I'm gonna just get rid of all the other pictures and the way that I do that is wait for this to load and I see what other boxes are checked so I like that one that's when I added something I'm gonna uncheck that one as soon as my site loads see cuz it's turning it's turning I'm patient I'm so patient that's an affirmation I am the patient most patient person in the world okay there I unchecked it I unchecked that unchecked that okay so the only one that's checked is the one we like and I hit save ah feels better already doesn't that feel great okay let's look oh it's gonna be so pretty w Oh Debbi that is glorious okay so then you know we added these widgets it just gives it a nicer look that's all okay when you see the chat bill doesn't want his site to be pretty who wants it to be manly okay well there are some manly photos we could choose for you all right now let's see if there's anything else that I want to make sure I go over so what I'm gonna be doing in this little template for Debbie is I'm just gonna be telling her everything that we did here what her website title is and her meta title is and what the search areas are and she's gonna be able to click on SEO search area pages and add more information it's I'm gonna have her weird we're hiring link here so that she can just know what it is I can I'm gonna say what the menu category we created is and what her home keeper blog post signup link is I'm gonna give her a suggestion to complete her profile things like that instructions for adding custom pages I'm gonna write down what color we chose we chose deep purple style - I'm also going to write in what her facebook chat link is here and then here is an article for learning more about that so that's that's it you guys now that is the setup so what we didn't get to but what I have training on is the second part which is the lead gen tools and I just want to quickly go over this you guys have lots of trainings on how to do squeeze pages multi property squeeze pages single property squeeze pages and also seller squeeze pages I actually just did three videos a couple days ago you and you'll see videos of this in there in the videos because I'm talking about because I was actually doing somebody squeeze pages for them as I was doing the video for for this and showing you exactly what I did and why so I already have that training out there how do you activate on Facebook Diane hold that thought um okay so anyway what I did is they just did a few multiply property squeeze pages and single progress miss ages but again what I'll do is I want to show you before we go there's actually two things that I want to do there's two things and what was wasn't and now I'm afraid of it I'm afraid oh there's another thing that I do in these setups you guys that I want to make sure I did bring up before I show you what I'm about to show you because even if I didn't do any squeeze pages or anything yet I still would want to make sure this was done in case I got leads organically um and that is making sure campaigns are are activated and yes I I'm gonna give you those templates on this template an entire template I am gonna give you a copy of it okay so that you can use the template to kind of follow along and and do something similar to make it easier for you to start generating leads right away um oh yeah Kirtland yes you can I'm gonna show you something after this that's gonna answer that question she's asking are there buyers squeeze pages are just seller squeeze pages yeah I'm in it yes thanks started making me yes okay okay so this is a good example so I want you to I'm just want to show you I'm going to click here in marketing autopilot this is really important you guys for your setup and we're gonna be ending here in just three minutes maybe four okay so marketing autopilot start can Payne okay and you just want to make sure you have campaigns activated she's got nothing zero nada so under Cady core library you can see all these campaigns that you can at your library now there's a lot let's not worry about that right now we're just gonna um we're just gonna add a seller campaign and a buyer campaign watch this add to my library okay and then go back we just added the seller campaign now we're gonna add the buyer add to my library okay and now we're going to activate them status awesome yes status on and yes ah that's better now she's got campaigns day so if she gets a buyer or seller lead at you know somehow organically through a website even if she's not promoting her website or not promoting squeeze pages tada gosh there's so much more I want to show you but we don't have time the nursing homes calling mom is kiddo okay Debbie good luck to you all right I just had a client whose mom died today in his houses first his house is under contractor and supposed to have an inspection he's like and push it back I'm like I feel so bad for him I'm so anyway okay so we got that there's one more thing I want to show you before I answer whatever question is waiting for me um you guys I've been posting the videos to YouTube um but and I have this page she sells gr and it's my real estate YouTube page and it's just getting bogged down with too many like trainings for Realtors so what I've decided to do is I have decided on a new YouTube channel that's gonna be just for realtors I'm for you guys specifically and um as soon as my computer decides to work I'm gonna show it to you so it's called a forward-thinking real estate and everything's here so I've got these playlists here and the one that we want is Kati corporate Dum Dums view full playlist I'm gonna put
