In this LogicClassroom, we will discuss the new prominence of images, infographics, and photography on the Internet. It is becoming increasingly important to supplement written content with visuals on websites and social media campaigns in order to engage a wider audience. Since visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text, they tend to drive more site traffic and increase browsing time. Learn how you can incorporate images and visuals to your real estate website and social media pages to improve SEO and increase engagement.
