Your tour is almost ready to go live! Let's review a few last touches before launching.
Tour Descriptions and Meta-Descriptions
Ensure each of your tours has both a meta description and a tour description. Here's how to add them:
Navigate to the Promote tab for each tour.
Meta description: Provide a brief, concise sentence that will appear beneath the headline in search engine results and on the tour card.
Description: Add a longer description (1–3 sentences). This will appear after the tour card is clicked on the tour detail page. If not provided, the meta description will be used as the default.
Tour Guide and Tour Logo
By default, your tour guide and logo are set through the Branding settings. If you'd like to change the tour guide and tour logo for specific tours, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Content tab for each tour.
Click the Actions button (three dots) to the right of the Tour Guide/Tour Logo fields.
Select Change Image to upload your preferred tour guide and/or logo.
Configure Your Splash Page
The splash page is the first page visitors will see when they start the tour. Your splash image appears in three places: on the tour homepage (tour card), the tour page (banner), and as the splash screen background. To configure your splash page:
Go to the Splash Page tab at the top of the tour edit page.
Enter an Introduction message from your Tour Guide.
If you have an Audio Guide, click Choose an Audio Track to upload recorded or generated audio.
The splash page background image is set in the Tour Default Image field under the Content tab.
[Optional] Override your branding settings default with a tour-specific Splash Logo (preferably with white typography and a transparent background).
Select your Splash Colour, which determines the swipe animation color when transitioning into the tour. These logo and color settings can be adjusted in the Settings tab.
Calls to Action (CTAs)
Don't forget to add Button and/or Timed CTAs to your tour before going live.
To Add a Button CTA:
Navigate to Tours in the menu.
Select the tour you want to add the CTA to.
Scroll to the bottom of the tour edit page.
Under Button Calls to Action, click Add Button Calls to Action.
Choose your desired CTA.
The order of CTAs in the CMS (from left to right) will match how they appear in the tour. The CTA on the far right will be highlighted with a more prominent color.
Click Save Draft or Publish when done.
To Add a Timed CTA:
Follow steps 1-3 above.
Under Timed Calls to Action, select Add Timed Calls to Action.
Choose your timed CTA.
Click Save Draft or Publish when complete.
Configure Your Homepage
Ensure your homepage is set up to showcase all your tours.
How to Configure Homepage Settings in the CMS
Go to Settings > Configurations.
Under the Branding tab, ensure your Logo is set.
Go to the Homepage tab.
Complete all sections, especially the Title and Introduction.
Adding a Background Video to Your Tour Banner
Navigate to your tour group and open it.
Click the Video tab at the top.
Scroll to the Background Video section and select Choose a Background Video.
Only premium Vimeo videos are supported. If you don’t have a premium Vimeo account, send us your video file, and we’ll set it up for you!
Once you've gone through this checklist and made sure everything is in place, your tour will be ready to launch!
