Add Call-to-Action Buttons to a Virtual Tour

The CTA (call-to-action) block puts buttons on top of your virtual tour, such as Book a viewing, Call the agent, Chat on WhatsApp or Download the brochure. They stay on screen while visitors look around, so someone who likes what they see can act on it straight away, without leaving the tour to find your contact details.

Add the CTA block

  1. Open your tour in the editor and choose + Add at the top left.
  2. Choose the CTA card. Its settings open on the right.
The CTA card in the block picker, outlined

It starts with two buttons, Website and Chat, at the bottom right. Neither opens anything until you give it a link. To come back to the settings later, choose the block’s tab at the top of the editor, or find it under More.

Set up the buttons

Open Buttons. For each button:

  1. Choose its icon to pick a different one.
  2. Type its text, such as Book a viewing.
  3. Choose its link icon and pick what it opens: a web address, a form or chat integration, a Smart Bubble, a photo, video, PDF or sound from your media, another panorama or hotspot, the floorplan, dollhouse, map or search, or a QR code.

Choose Add Button for another, or the bin to remove one. Under the list, Text Position puts the text to the right, left, top or bottom of the icon, and Button Text sets its font and size. Turn on Tooltip to show only icons, with the text when visitors point at them.

Choose when and where it shows

Open Controls.

  • Show or HideLeave the box at the top off and the buttons show from the start. Tick it and they start hidden, then appear after the Delay or when visitors look within the Range.
  • DelaySeconds before the buttons appear (or disappear, if they start shown). A short delay lets visitors look around first.
  • RangeA direction, in degrees, for the buttons to appear (or disappear) as visitors turn to face it, such as the view out of a window. Start it above 0°.
  • All PanosUntick it, then choose Select Panos to show the buttons on some panoramas only.

Place and style it

  • CTA UIPosition (each corner, or the middle of any edge), Orientation (a vertical or horizontal row), Alignment, and the size, margins, padding, corners and border of the icons and buttons.
  • ColorsIcon, Icon Bg, Icon Border, Button Bg, Hover Bg, Border, Text and Text Bg. Use your brand colours so the buttons look like part of your site.

Every change saves as you make it. To delete the block, choose Remove Block at the bottom of its settings.

Common questions

Can I have more than one set of buttons?

Yes. Add the CTA block again for a second set, for example a Download the floor plan button that only shows in the living room, alongside a Book a viewing button that shows everywhere.

Which plans include the CTA block?

The free trial and plans with branding include it. If your plan doesn’t, choosing the card offers an upgrade.

Yes, today they do. Many MLSs don’t allow agent contact details on a tour, so check your MLS’s rules, and use a copy of the tour without the CTA block for MLS if you need to. See MLS virtual tours.

How do I collect leads from the buttons?

Link a button to a form such as Google Forms or Typeform, or a chat such as WhatsApp or Tawk.to, from the Integrations tab. See Forms and chat integrations.
