Setting Up Facebook Connector Post Preferences
Step 3 - Posting Preferences
After completing the first time setup process
you will see a screen similar to the one to the
right. This screen may contain multiple tabs if
you have business pages or you manage
multiple pages on Facebook.
Begin by clicking on the tab for where you
want your Facebook posts to appear. The
screen shot to the right shows the left tab in
dark blue. The dark blue tab is the currently
selected tab.
Facebook Post Preferences Screen
Under each tab you are able to enable up to
three types of postings: New Listings, New
Open Houses, and New Listing Videos. For
each type of posting you are also able to
control the frequency of posts per day. This
may be useful if you generally list multiple
properties in bulk (such as land, REO, etc)
and want to limit your daily postings.
*Please note that each of the three types of postings
may only be enabled on only one Facebook Page. For
example, you are not able to post New Listings to your
personal page and your firm page.
Once you have configured settings under
each tab be sure to click the “Save” button.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve heard that I shouldn’t post new listings to Facebook so why should I do
this?
No one wants to get “spammed” on social media such as Facebook. By
“spammed” we mean constant posting from someone promoting a product or
service. This is exactly why we have enabled the posting limits within the
Facebook Connector and the ability to post to not just your personal timeline but
your business pages as well. If you are active on Facebook and you post a few
times per week your real estate activity is not considered spam!
Do these Facebook posts direct visitors to my web site?
Yes, Facebook Connector directs visitors to your Delta Media Group powered
web site.
Does Facebook Connector work with mobile?
Yes, Facebook Connector is fully compatible with the Facebook mobile apps and
people using the Facebook mobile apps will see your mobile web site when they
click on the Facebook posts.
What are New Listing Videos?
At Delta Media Group we integrate with many third-party systems. One type of
integration offered is integration with listing video companies such as Properties
In Motion®. Customers using these systems have found it useful in attracting new
web site visitors to also post new listing videos to social media. So, New Listing
Video postings are triggered when we receive a video on a listing.
Can I change the verbiage of the posts?
Currently, you are unable to change the verbiage of the posts.
When did Delta Media Group release Facebook Connector?
Facebook Connector was released in beta form in January of 2014 and was
released in June of 2015 to all upgraded Sales Associates and Real Estate Firms
engaged with Delta Media Group for SEO Marketing Services.
