One of the biggest features we have with HomeQuest IDX sites is the ability to map your blog posts. When you map a blog post it appears right next to listings on the IDX map. There are so many uses for this feature, obviously the main one is being able to show your knowledge of a particular area and connect with potential clients before you’ve even met. To map a blog post follow these steps:

Steps: After you have written your blog post, scroll down to the “Location” box

Remember to click “Save” when you are finished.

Thats it! your post will now be “Geocoded” and appear on your neighborhood map. We are also working on giving you the ability to place other geocoded content like pictures, tweets, youtube videos and more. Stay tuned!
