I would like to learn how the agent helped with SEO Optimization

There might also be an issue with the 360 view just tried it.

Overall it’s a nice build, similar to an Idea I had for a real estate marketplace, might consider revisiting the idea.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks, yeah the 360 has been tricky to get right, I have to load it with an iframe unless anyone has any better idea, its hard to do dynamic scaling since its compiled in a player our vendor uses to assemble the frames to make the 360 work.

I think you could if you have access to the MLS listings, it could be the cleanest way to do it and they should give you API access, not sure if it costs beyond membership. Its completely do-able and since the files are served remotely and so is the data its basically a wrapper as well. Give it a go its do-able with the right tinkering.

Its a summary I had it put out on what we built out, I just had it make sure it did rich snippets, generate clean meta descriptions, google category compatible features, generate a feed for google shopping, and I have funcitonality to do internal linking for keywords and educational content blog, etc. I have a bunch of not enabled features and I haven’t gotten around to filling in content to connect all the pieces together. I’m hashing out features one by one, some I may keep some I might not until I need them. I will do most of the seo, but I do have a Pinterest feed generator in mind, I am building a social media posting system so I can post diamonds to Pinterest with unique-ish styling, I’m working on a concept to convert the 360 to videos for the different platforms as well.
