Short answers.

One new page, Search homes, and a Property Search link in your menu, added once when you go live. Listings are added at the moment a page is shown and never saved into your content, so the pages you already have are left as they are. If it finds an old search, it asks before replacing it.

No. The robots.txt file and the sitemap are untouched, and no other page changes. In Preview mode IDX Bloom runs on one private page, and sample listings are never indexed. Visitors and Google see nothing there until you press Turn on my site. Once you go live and pay for the $49 a month plan, the XML sitemap and SEO plus GEO switch on.

Up to 24 hours. If the feed fails, your pages keep the last good data for that long rather than emptying, and they still load straight from the cache that sits on your own WordPress. Because the cache refreshes in the background, a slow feed does not hold a page up.

Yes. Deleting the plugin removes everything it added, the private preview page among it. Your leads go too, with a CSV offered first, while a search page you edited yourself is kept. Deactivating is gentler: the pages it made go to draft, its menu item goes or your old search returns, and its blocks disappear.

Phone support is not available yet. For now, email hello@idxbloom.com or send the contact form, and a person answers. The same address is the one to write to if your listings still say Sample after a few minutes, and the Contact link in the help center is there for anything else that leaves you stuck. Priority support is still Planned, as the pricing page lists it.

Yes, each alert includes an unsubscribe link, and alerts need your mailing address. On new installs the sign-in and alert emails start switched on, but only a live site sends them, and one master email switch in Settings stops them all.

Look for the last-updated line on every page. Pages are served from the cache straight away while a background refresh keeps them current. NAR's IDX policy says to refresh at least every 12 hours, but IDX Bloom promises no interval of its own until a live data connection confirms one.

Yes. You can install it now with no key, no login and no card, and the 7-day free trial starts once your broker says Yes and the site goes live. The live demo runs on real Florida MLS listings, shown for demonstration. On your own site you begin with private sample listings, and live ones need approval before they show.
