Map Search – This search returns the available properties on a Google Interactive Map. Clients can hover over the map pins for a brief overview of the property and link to the property details page. Additionally, a list of the results is provided on the left hand side of the map. This makes it easy for your clients to get to the property they want and sets them up for lead capture.

Community Pages for your Real Estate Website

Any consumer who sits down at a search engine and types in “homes for sale in Community X” has an immediate need for information and help. If you serve community “X,” you want these consumers on your website. When every agent in your area has the same MLS listings information – what is to motivate home sellers and buyers to come to YOUR website?

The answer is Community Pages with Interactive IDX.

To be effective, the Community Pages need to be listings-rich. IDXnetwork’s Filter Builder Package makes it easy to develop niche landing pages, which allow website visitors one-click access to the properties you want to show. Say you specialize in country club subdivisions… or oceanfront condos… or equestrian properties. Simply choose the filter details from a list of available parameters.

To make the Community Pages extra attractive to the search engines, they also need keyword rich static content. Add descriptive text, photo, videos or widgets to your filters, and the content will be shown above the automatically updated listings.

The IDX-driven Community pages make your website content unique and updated daily, which is attractive for both, potential clients as well as search engines.
