WP 3D Plugin --- what an experience...1577

GeorgeK private msg quote post Address this user
Let's get a tiny bit political first, America will be great again and it will come from the efforts and passion of people like Ross from WP3D Plugin. Earlier in the week, I purchased the plugin. My Emails, for a few questions got lost in spam. (no big deal, it has happened to me on my websites with my clients also) When Ross found out he not only apologized he lined up the hoops and started jumping through them to make me happy.

He set up a special time for me, to receive the additional training (a mega value at $50.00) on the weekend (Sat evening) and walked me through the plugin. With my Wordpress experience I could have figured it out, but I have learned to go the pro and get the fast version. TRUST ME it was worth every penny of the $50.00. Please do not tell him I would have paid more.
(humor implied)
I think you see the bottom line of where I am going with this. His marketing solutions for the scans meet and exceed what I thought was going to be possible. I will be following everything Ross does. He understands what will make this work from more than one angle.

If you run into Ross, it will be your good fortune.

@DanSmigrod Thanks Dan for the info. Ive been using KoaWare to build my sites and seem happy with them... So hope you understand my confusion when I see that paying someone else to do this for me when its super simple to do...
Ill take a look at their site which I glanced over it and they offer a lot, just trying to figure out why I need it...
Not to say they are not good just coming from a newbie stand point.

Looking at koaware the first thing I see is that the matterport is not the focus of the site. Wp3dm has it front an center.

The next thing is that the listing websites allow extra widgets inside the front display.

Another thing is the shortcode options. Easily make pages that will rank on search engines for the types of scans they are.

Speaking of SEO wp3dmodels lets you send urls and embed code to your agents that resolve to your site not matterport so you get the SEO juice not matterport.

These things alone are worth it. You would spend $100/month just for the SEO benefit. There is more. So for $199/yr for get so much AND he gives 30 day money back? How are you not ordering already? :-)

@GlennTremain HAHA thanks Glenn I appreciate the help... Just being new I guess not knowing everything is what holds me back from spending more moeny with at $199 sounds great.. That being said do you have to pay more to have a site such as 1234examplestreet.com?

WOW.

What an incredibly nice thread to find in my inbox this AM. @GeorgeK - My sincere thanks for your review & comments. (& @StevenHattan & @GlennTremain & @DanSmigrod - you guys rule...THANK YOU for jumping in with your explanations of WP3D Models features.)

It is experiences like this that remind me just how fun it is to be working in this space. I'm honored to be able to build a tool that so many of you are using and (just as important) make these personal connections. You are the folks that will drive the next versions of WP3D Models and I love hearing how you are using the tools, and how we can make it better.

I'm very excited to be a part of this community of forward-thinking agents, photographers, marketers and otherwise savvy folks. Thank you all for your support.

@JRMaddox - I very much appreciate your notes and questions about WP3D Models. We need to do a better job of presenting a simple explanation of what the software does (coming soon). That said, those chiming in here have done a great job.

Primarily, I strongly believe in OWNING your own data and getting the credit for your hard work. If you're doing any sort of volume of scans per year, you owe it to yourself to present these off of a domain that you own. As @GlennTremain (SEO & marketing genius & a wealth-of-knowledge) notes, the SEO benefits of staying on your own site/domain are enormous.

The great thing about this approach is that you don't have to give up on using simple/polished domain names to promote your single-property-websites. As @DanSmigrod mentions, you can simply FORWARD any domain of your choosing to the single property page that you've built with WP3D Models. With the $199 WP3D Models license, there is no limit to the number of pages you can build, and then then (for as little as ~$3) you can purchase/forward a custom domain name to that single property page.

Custom URL Examples:

http://1900hollis.info
http://403rivercliffpoint.info

Note that the only extra cost here is that of the domain name (as low s ~$3). Also note that these are FORWARDING URLs, meaning that they will be redirected in the address bar. This is by design. Without this approach (leaving the simple URL in the address bar) you'll lose the connection to your domain name..and thus the SEO "juice". The end value to your clients is the same since the simple URL is all they need to remember and all that would be presented to them.

Compared to many other solutions out there, WP3D Models is very very inexpensive on a per-model basis, plus you get all of the other "views" and branded embed codes...and so much more.

Bottom line is, (@GlennTremain notes) WP3D Models was built from the ground up to fully integrate with the Matterport system. Everything we've done and everything on the roadmap is completely centered around Matterport Models/Spaces. We're focused on helping you (agents/photographers/marketers) promote your unique content as quickly and effectively as possible to grow YOUR brand and boost YOUR SEO value. The tools we build add white-labeled value to your own marketing efforts. It is fast/easy/inexpensive to provide professional marketing materials to your clients without adding overhead (time &/or $$ and cutting into your profits. You can also re-label your work and brand it with your client's logos! With this approach, you can charge extra, or include it in your higher tiered packages. Your client's see their logo but YOU get the SEO credit...this is a huge WIN/WIN.

Final note....WP3D Models is also able to be fully translated into any language. We currently have translation tools in place for Italian, Spanish & French, with Portuguese & Russian (coming soon). This is expanding quickly and we welcome any inquiries into other language translation needs.

Again, thanks to all....now back to work!

@rpetersn Thank you so much for the info I really appreciate it... Well it does sound like a no brainer just alone with the SEO you get...
I will for sure be talking soon so this newbie can get a complete understanding of what this can do to better my business. Problem I have is im not to web site savvy but I did however build my own. Other quick question. My site isnt set up for playing the 3D scans that I do... That is one reason why i am using KoaWare to present my 3D scans.

Thanks everyone for all the help.

Hi @JRMaddox, You are welcome! I've PM'd you my phone number if you'd like to hop on a call and discuss some different options for you.

@smcclell, yes, WP3D Models works on top of WordPress...but if your existing site is not WordPress-based, it is very easy to spin up a "Gallery" site that can live on a subdomain (LIKE: http://gallery.yourdomain.com) of your URL, and provide you with similar SEO value being discussed.

Please reach out if you have any other questions. Thx!
