How to Boost a Listing

Quick Overview

• If you have posted a listing on Homeday and want to give it more visibility, you can use the Boost feature from your account Dashboard.
• Boosting works best for listings that are already published and that you want to bring back into view, such as listings for houses for sale, condos for sale, houses for rent, or condos for rent.

This article walks you through how to boost a listing on Homeday step by step, along with tips to follow before boosting so you get more value out of your credits.

How to Boost a Listing on Homeday

Step 1: Sign in, then go to the “Promote Listing” menu

Start by visiting the Homeday website and clicking “Sign In,” then log in with the account you used to post the listing, such as Google, Facebook, your phone number, or Email.

Once you have signed in successfully, go to the Dashboard and select the “Promote Listing” menu.

This menu is used to manage features that increase a listing's visibility, such as boosting a listing or promoting it through the options the system supports.

Step 2: Select the listing you want to boost

On the “My Listings” page, select the listing you want to boost, then click “Boost Listing (10 credits).”

We recommend choosing a listing whose details are ready, for example clear photos, a reasonable price, complete information, and a correct phone number.

If you are not sure whether a listing is ready, you can go back and check it first under the “My Listings” menu, then return to boost it.

Step 3: Check your credits, then confirm the boost

After selecting the listing, review the details before confirming, such as the number of credits required, the boost conditions, and the duration or display format defined by the system.

If you have enough credits, click “Confirm (10 credits)” as shown by the system, and 10 credits will be deducted for the boost.

After boosting, you can come back and check the results under the “Listing Statistics” menu, and check the status of your listing under the “Listing Status” menu.

What Should You Check Before Boosting?

Before spending credits to boost, we recommend checking that your listing is ready, so the credits you spend have a better chance of delivering good results.

Things you should check include:

• Is the listing already published?
• Is the first photo clear and appealing?
• Is the sale or rental price reasonable?
• Are the property details complete?
• Are the property's key selling points clearly written?
• Are the location and nearby places fully described?
• Is the phone number or contact channel correct?
• Is the property genuinely still available for sale or rent?
• Do you have enough credits to boost the listing?

If your listing still has dark photos, sparse details, or an unclear price, we recommend editing the listing first and then boosting it, which makes the credits you spend more worthwhile.

When Should You Boost a Listing?

Boosting is best suited for times when you want to give a listing more visibility, especially a listing whose details are ready but that has started getting fewer views.

Examples of good times to boost a listing include:

• After updating the photos or details of a listing
• After adjusting the sale or rental price
• When you want to speed up a sale or rental
• When a listing starts getting fewer views
• When you want a listing to be seen again
• During holidays or periods when people search for houses and condos more often

That said, boosting should not replace creating a good listing from the start, because if the photos are unclear, the price is not attractive, or the information is incomplete, even more views may still not lead people to get in touch.

Missions That Earn Free Credits

If you are a new user, we recommend checking out the “Getting Started Missions to Claim Free Credits” menu on the Dashboard.

These missions are ideal for anyone who wants to fully set up their account. The system will guide you through set steps, such as completing your account information and completing identity verification in the formats the system requires.

Once you complete all 4 steps, you will receive 50 credits to start using the related features on Homeday. Together with the free credits from registering and posting your first listing, you can receive a total of 100 free credits.

What Should You Do If Boosting Doesn't Work?

If boosting still doesn't produce good results, don't rush to spend more credits right away. We recommend checking the quality of your listing first.

Things worth adjusting include:

• Change the first photo to something more appealing
• Add more real photos of the property
• Adjust the listing title to make it easier to read
• Write the key selling points more clearly
• Check whether the price is too high
• Add location details or nearby places
• Check the phone number and contact channels
• Check that the listing status is still displaying normally

Boosting helps increase visibility, but a listing that actually gets people to contact you also needs clear information, good photos, and an easy-to-understand price.
