Frequently Asked Questions

What are Snapchat's real estate advertising requirements?

Snapchat requires pre-approval for financial services ads including real estate. Photos must be high-quality, vertical 9:16 format, and comply with community guidelines. No misleading property representations allowed.

How does BuildMyListing optimize photos for Snapchat?

BuildMyListing doesn't crop photos to 9:16 vertical format, but it enhances every photo, virtually stages empty rooms, and writes social captions you can pair with your own vertical crops. All edits maintain AB 723 compliance with automatic disclosure tracking.

Can I use AR staging on Snapchat while staying AB 723 compliant?

Yes. BuildMyListing virtually stages empty rooms and automatically generates a public disclosure page showing original vs altered photos. QR codes link mobile viewers to compliance records showing original vs staged versions.

What's the difference between Snapchat geofilters and AR lenses?

Geofilters are location-triggered overlays with property info and branding. AR lenses allow virtual staging interaction. BuildMyListing does not create geofilters or AR lenses, but its staged photos come with a per-photo alteration log and disclosure page you can reference in either format.

How do I reach Gen Z homebuyers on Snapchat?

Target 18-28 age group with vertical property videos, AR virtual tours, and location-based geofilters. Use authentic, mobile-first content rather than traditional horizontal listing photos. BuildMyListing optimizes all content for Gen Z preferences.

Do Snapchat Story ads require special photo formats?

Yes. Snapchat Stories require 9:16 vertical format (1080x1920 minimum), under 32MB file size. BuildMyListing does not resize or crop to Snapchat sizes, so export your photos from the social ZIP and format them to Snapchat's specs yourself.

How does privacy compliance work for location-based marketing?

Snapchat geofilters can only use publicly available property information. BuildMyListing ensures property details comply with privacy laws and MLS rules while creating engaging location-based marketing content.

Need the photos done, not just the rules?

Upload the listing. Get back staged and enhanced photos with every altered image labelled and paired with its original, a hosted disclosure page with QR, and one ZIP in MLS order. $33 per listing, no subscription.
