How Brixwork 4.5 Brings You More Traffic<\/h1>\nIn August we tested version 4.5 of the Brixwork Real Estate Website platform. It enabled more frequent MLS\u00ae syncs in most of the boards we cover (excludes any real estate board data supplied by CREA DDF). This has been launched in September 2019, and we are excited to share the details behind it!<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>. . .<\/p>\n<\/div>

New content loaded frequently means your website is more up to date. This results in Google™ increasing the crawl frequency of your website. Ultimately this leads to your website showing up on more search results, at higher rank positions, for street\/address\/neighbourhood searches!<\/p>\n
More Relevant Google Traffic leads to More high-quality Leads!<\/h4>\n
The Brixwork platform always allowed our Realtors\u00ae to live-query any listings by MLS # to quickly feature their own listings within minutes of it going live. The rest of the listings were synced 3~4 times a day. This has been improved to almost every hour during the day & early evening (12+ syncs per day).<\/p>\n
Other Upgrades For Even Better Performance<\/h4>\n
Further optimizations have been made throughout the system for even better performance faster load-times, and better listing photo sync.<\/p>\n<\/div>
