Back At You is a social media management service for real estate agents. In addition to running your Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts, they also can manage your social media ad spending. They post not only local content but also listings from your local MLS with lead capture features.

Back At You Media was founded in 2011 and headquartered in Encino, CA. They partnered with the National Association of Realtors in 2017. In 2019, the company merged with Realistiq, a brokerage website company catering to enterprise-level clients, consolidating under the brand “Back At You”.

Best Features

Well Rounded

Back At You has a little of everything for your Facebook social marketing.

They can simply be the tool to manage your Facebook presence and let you run your own ads (if any), or they can do all your ad management as well.

They can promote and share your listings automatically as a partner with ListHub. to share listings automatically with single property websites

They can run your Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and are working on adding Instagram in the future.

They let you get in on the action with the Social Media Center backend. There you can preview and schedule content, listings, leads, landing pages, and view analytics tabs. In the dashboard you can edit content, add or update images, and monitor activity.

It’s a solid suite for managing your social networks.

Paid Lead Management

As mentioned, Back At You can just manage your page, curating content and posting blogs to keep you page looking alive.

Or they can go the extra mile for you and run your Facebook ad campaigns to deliver leads.

Their first plan – the Silver – simply promotes your page and earns impressions and followers.

But the Gold, Platinum, and Diamond plans are all about paid lead generation.

Content Categories

No different than their competitors, any time you get a third party writing or posting content for you, you will likely get some generic stuff.

Back At You takes out the sting, with over 30 content categories you can turn on or off to tailor to your own market (versus competitors who sometimes only have 3-4 categories).

You can preview the content in advance, make changes, delete, add, and everything else to make the content more useful to your audience if you so choose. A good chunk is video content.

The content is published on a branded blog designed for lead capture.

They also have landing pages to boost and share.

They also have market updates and infographics available to share to your audience for the larger metropolitan areas.

Instagram Publishing

Back at You can publish directly to Instagram. Few competitors can say the same and this is a distinct advantage for Back at You. If Instagram is your social media weapon of choice, Back at You has a case for your business.

Biggest Pitfalls

No Email Marketing

This isn’t necessarily a con. You can get your email marketing done separately from a company who knows how.

But several of Back at You’s competitors do offer email marketing as part of their bundle, including CityBlast and OutboundEngine. If that is interesting or important to you, there may be other one-stop solutions that do both.

My Personal Recommendation

Back At You is one of the most well-rounded social media management systems I’ve seen for a real estate professional.

They have a range of options between a set-it-and-forget-it social media strategy, or more with Facebook ad spend management.

Despite a more competitive price, they offer many of the features of their more pushy competitors.

Some of the negative reviews I found mentioned the lack of leads generated. But those users appear to be on the Bronze or Silver plans, which are not designed around lead generation and ad spending. If you are serious about generating leads on social media, expect to spend money to make it happen.

Of the “set-it-and-forget-it” social media solutions, Back At You Media has more customizability than others. However, it will still be short of the kind of authenticity and engagement you can earn doing it yourself and immersing your personal brand into your social media presence.

If you are a hands-on social media guru, Back At You Media can still work for you, giving you plenty of tools and automations while still letting you control the content.

I recommend comparing Back At You Media to CityBlast. But between the two, Back At You Media has my vote.
