Once you have logged in to https://dashboard.therealestatevoice.com.au/admin/home:


1. Connect your social media



  • Click the 'Connect Meta' button and log in to your personal Facebook account to connect to your Facebook and Instagram business pages
    • Please note, you will be connecting to your personal Facebook Account which manages your Facebook and Instagram Business pages, so don't be alarmed if you're asked to log into your personal Facebook account.

3. Set up your Brand and Share Wording

The Trev Dashboard is all about sending people back to you own website, so it's important your social media branding matches your company and website branding.  For optimum branding, set up your:

  • Listing Graphics - add your logo and any branding for your new sale, sold, new rent and rented listings
  • Share Wording - customise the share templates so your social posts have consistent messaging that includes the property headline, address, price, bed/bath/garage, website url, description etc. Add emojis for extra social impact. 
  • Logo - add your logo so the social media tiles will have your branding 
  • Labels - add emojis or words in the place of bed/bath/garage/cars so when any of these fields do not have data, they will not appear in the share wording
