Blog » #3: Craigslist copy/paste templates improved
Our free Craigslist templates have been improved to save you even more time. In addition to the main description HTML code that you can copy and paste into your Craigslist post, your property title, price and address are also shown. Just click to highlight them, copy and paste into Craigslist.
There is also a link to your virtual tour photos on TourVista. While our Craigslist templates include your first 7 photos, it’s also a good idea to upload at least one other photo using the “Add Images” form that Craigslist provides. This photo will show at the bottom of your post. We recommend using a photo that is not already included in the template code TourVista provides.
We are working on some new Craigslist templates and look forward to offering these in the near future!

Matt,
Sorry I missed the meeting last week… It would have been great to get a chance to meet you in person.
Please explain why you recommend adding an additional property photo while posting to craigslist?
Thanks,

Hi Peter,
It was a great meeting. Hopefully we will have a chance to meet in the near future.
I recommend uploading at least 1 photo using the “Add Images” form that Craigslist provides because it helps your property stand out. Doing so will add “pic” in orange text for your post on the search results page, compared to most other posts that just have “img” or those that do not include any images at all.
For clarification, Craigslist adds orange text tags after each post to indicate whether or not there are images/pictures included. The tags are:
“pic” – posts that include pictures in the HTML description. These pictures are hosted on a website other than Craigslist such as TourVista. The HTML copy/paste code includes these pictures.
“img” – posts where the user has uploaded images using the “Add Images” form provided by Craigslist
It is very important to include images in your posts. Craigslist users can filter their searches as “has image” which shows only posts that include images. Both “pic” and “img” posts are included for this case.
