How to Add a Video to Your Google Business Profile (Real Estate Agents)

The short version: make a short listing video, download it, then add it to your Google Business Profile in the photos and videos section. It shows people who find your agency on Google that you actually market listings, not just that you exist.

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a seller sees when they search your name or your area. A profile with real listing video looks like a working agent. A profile with only a logo looks like a placeholder. Here is how to fix that in a few minutes.

Step 1: Make a Short Listing Video

You do not need a shoot. Upload a listing's photos to HomeReel, or paste the Zillow link, pick a camera move, and get a short cinematic video in minutes. A 15 to 30 second clip is ideal for a profile, long enough to show the home and short enough to hold attention.

Step 2: Download the Video to Your Phone

Download the finished video to the phone you use for Google. Google Business Profile videos should be up to 30 seconds, so a short listing clip fits well. If your video is longer, make a shorter version for the profile and save the full one for Reels and your other channels.

Step 3: Open Your Google Business Profile

Open the Google Business Profile app, or search your business name while signed in to the Google account that manages the profile. You will see the tools for editing your listing, including photos and videos.

Step 4: Add the Video

Go to the photos and videos section, choose to add a video, and select your listing clip. Google reviews new media before it appears publicly, so it may take a little time to go live. Add a new one every time you have a fresh listing to keep the profile active.

Step 5: Keep It Fresh

A profile that adds video regularly signals an active business to both Google and to the people reading it. Because a HomeReel video takes minutes, you can add one for every new listing instead of letting your profile go stale. That habit alone puts you ahead of most agents in your market.

The Bottom Line

Adding video to your Google Business Profile is quick: make a short clip from your listing photos, download it, and upload it in the photos and videos section. The hard part used to be making the video. Now it takes minutes. Make your first one free.
