Integrating Bright MLS listings into your website allows you to build a property search feature and increase the SEO content on your site.

In many markets, it’s no longer enough to offer a simple IDX website. Too many other agents offer the same thing, and it is difficult to distinguish your business.

One option is to launch a marketing campaign to develop a business niche. Another option is to integrate MLS listings to maximize the SEO value of your site.

With Realtyna’s Organic MLS Integration you can integrate listings from any MLS in the United States and Canada into a WordPress website. In this article we’ll show you how to integrate Bright MLS.

What is Organic MLS Integration?

Organic MLS Integration is Realtyna’s RETS software for WordPress. The software allows Bright MLS members to connect to the Bright MLS database and integrate listings into their website via RETS feed.

This advanced IDX system increases the SEO content on a user’s site and provides greater data flexibility than a traditional IDX.
