Questions, answered

Who writes the articles?

What is IDX Bloom?

An AI-powered IDX plugin for WordPress real estate sites. You install it once; it reads every page, places the right listings, a plain-words search box and a lead form on it, and grows the neighborhood and building pages your site is missing, in English and Spanish.

Will this get me cited by ChatGPT or ranked on Google?

We cannot promise either. IDX Bloom makes your pages easier to read, verify and quote, and its dashboard tools measure results instead of guaranteeing them.

Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. Search, listing cards, lead forms and grown pages all work in English and Spanish, with Spanish twin pages and hreflang between the two languages.

Is IDX Bloom live yet?

Plugin version 1.5 runs on the live demo and on a real agent site, in Preview mode. IDX Bloom is in pre-launch: it opens first in a small group of pilot markets, and live MLS listings need an approved data connection. You can start a free pilot, no card.
