You are very welcome, Karen.

IDXnetwork strives to help those who already have their own website compete in today’s tough market. Unlike most solutions, our Interactive IDX can be integrated into any website without the use of IFRAMES.  This approach allows for better long term growth and more flexibility in design.

You have been so helpful during the years I’ve owned the website, www.AnnMcCarty.com.

The recent upgrade with the 1,000′s of added pages with links to all neighborhoods and condo buildings, has really increased the leads I’m getting from visitors to my site.  I am working with clients right now who will hopefully be going into escrow soon on a property in Honolulu.

The website has paid for itself many times over–in the beginning when I was working a 40 hour job and doing real estate on weekends, a majority of my purchases were leads generated through the website IDX.  In the downturn, I didn’t get as many leads but now, with your help, that I’ve upgraded the site, it’s back to at least 1-2 solid leads a week!

Mahalo nui loa, (Thank you very much!)Ann

Thanks for the update, Ann. We are glad to hear that even in the tough Hawaii Real Estate market you have been able to succeed so well.

The AnnMcCarty.com website is based on our turnkey Phoenix design template with custom city, neighborhood and community/building landing pages along with indexing on the listing level.  This allows her site to become a one stop resource for all properties in Oahu, Hawaii with just a click.

As a new customer of about a month I would like to take a moment to indicate my satisfaction with your product and company.  I was with Advanced Access prior to this and my customer experience with your company has been much better.  Your graphics layout and menu functions are also much better and and the IDX engine is stronger as well.  I have had many positive comments on my site already!
The customer support team has been very responsive and has made the requested modifications on a timely basis.
I look forward to working with your company as we implement more changes for our company.

Thanks,

Thanks for the kind words, Greg. The entire IDXnetwork team is glad you are happy and looks forward to serving your Real Estate website needs for many years to come.

Greg’s southenfloridarealestate.com website is based on our popular Polaris template with color changes to match his branding as well as a slick custom development search.

Since I started working with you a few months ago, my web site has grown exponentially in size and rankings on Google. With your numerous tools, service and in depth analysis of my site, I have successfully tripled my sales in the past few months (this is a big deal!) When I came to you I had experience with building web sites, but not enough experience with IDX to know where to start. You all gave me direction and a plan; I had an issue with flash over substance. In just a few months I have learned HTML, other programs and read numerous articles as well as self directed learning on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). If I need you guys to code for me, I know you are there; if I can do things myself, you guys give me instructions on how to complete the task and be more efficient. Not only have I learned to do new, fun things with my site, I have also acquired new skills that will help me in keeping up and possibly surpassing many and hopefully all of my competitors in this tough South Florida market.

I chose IDX Network due to the fact that you were able to match my needs with a product, regardless of my skill level, while at the same time offering new tools for me to add as my skill level in web building increased. Simply stated, as my skill level increased, the available tools also increased in complexity all me to synergistically impact my web rankings and return on investment. Overall, I am ecstatic with my site and the service you guys have given in the past few months. Without your assistance and service, I truly believe I would be years behind in building my internet presence/business. My IDX website not only jump started my real estate business, it also ignited my love for internet creativity and the need to continually find new ways to beat my competitors on the web. Thanks IDX Network and especially Eric for helping me meet the needs of my customers at a bottom dollar price while giving million dollar service and real estate, web building advice. You guys rock!

Thanks, Brent.

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.

Well optimized and maintained Google Places Page (GPP) can serve as the gateway to your real estate website. The GPP can even bring clients directly to your real estate business. Your Google Places Page should be considered as a must-have element of any local marketing campaign. The best part of the news: IT’S FREE.

To build the most effective Google Places page and bring more action to your real estate business, you can hire an expert or you can do it yourselves by following these simple steps:

1.    To get started, you will need to have a Gmail or Google account.
If you don’t have one, read this article to learn how to get started, or simply go to www.gmail.com and follow the instructions.

2.    Claim Your Listing by adding your account information. Provide as much information as possible. Having Google account without claiming your place with most accurate information and updates is like opening an office with no doors.

3.    Make your Google Places Page effective by providing complete information about yourself, your business, your listings, upcoming events, etc. Search engines love data; they also love more frequent updates. You can keep you GPP automatically updated by connecting to your IDX pages, such as open houses, new listings, community pages, and other Interactive IDX components.

Be sure to follow the Google Places Guidelines. Google is strict with these guidelines, and following these requirements will determine your listing or delisting from Google Places.

According to Google, only 7 percent GPP have been actually claimed (4% up from last year). This creates a window of opportunity for your business to get your business listed and get higher ranking by getting ahead of your competition.

If you are serious about local internet marketing, contact our IDX Consultants to get help with creating effective Google Places Page.
