Quick Answer

Add a video introduction by pasting a YouTube or Vimeo link in the "Video Introduction" section of your profile. The video embeds directly on your public listing, letting visitors watch without leaving the page.


Overview

A video introduction helps potential clients get to know you before reaching out. It's one of the most effective ways to build trust and stand out from other professionals. Visitors can see your personality, hear your voice, and understand your approach—all before contacting you.

The video embeds directly on your listing page with full playback controls.


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Upload Your Video to YouTube or Vimeo

First, create and upload your video to either platform. Set the privacy to "Public" or "Unlisted" (not Private).

Step 2: Copy the Video URL

Get the share link or page URL from your video:

  • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID or https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

  • Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/VIDEO_ID

Step 3: Open the Video Introduction Section

Navigate to your Edit Profile page and expand the "Video Introduction" section.

Step 4: Paste Your Video URL

Enter the URL in the "Link to your introduction video" field.

Step 5: Submit Your Changes

Click "Publish Draft" to save and submit for review.

  • Ensure clear audio (use an external microphone if possible)

  • Keep the camera stable (use a tripod)

  • Dress professionally

  • Speak clearly and at a natural pace


Important Notes

  • YouTube and Vimeo only: Other platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) are not supported

  • Display only: Videos don't affect lead matching


FAQs

What if my video doesn't appear after I save? Check that your video is set to Public or Unlisted on YouTube/Vimeo. Private videos cannot be embedded.

Can I change my video later? Yes. Simply paste a new URL to replace the existing video, then submit your changes.

What's the difference between this and YouTube in Social Media? Video Introduction embeds one specific video. The YouTube link in Social Media goes to your entire channel.

Should I include a call to action? Yes! End with something like "Schedule a free consultation" or "Send me a message to discuss your case."
