This guide walks you through exactly how to add virtual tour links to your AppFolio listings, plus how to optimize your strategy for maximum results. 💡
Let’s dive in 👇
Today’s renters expect more than just photos—they want immersive experiences that help them visualize living in the unit before they even schedule a tour.
Adding a 360° virtual tour to your listing helps:
✅ Pre-qualify leads

✅ Improve time-on-site
✅ Attract long-distance renters
✅ Close leases faster
📊 According to studies, listings with virtual tours get 87% more views and lease up 30% faster.

To add a virtual tour link to your AppFolio listing, make sure you have:
🔗 A hosted virtual tour URL (like from CloudPano or Matterport)
💻 Access to your AppFolio admin account

Head to your AppFolio dashboard and locate the unit or property you want to edit. Click on “Marketing” > “Properties”, and then select your listing.
In the property description box, paste the tour link directly, like this:
