Why Isn't the IDX Property Search Showing on My roomvu Website?

roomvu websites support IDX property search for buyers, but it requires your own domain to be activated. Here's how it works.

Yes, roomvu offers IDX property search for buyers on your agent website. But if you've turned on Property Search in your website settings and the search bar still isn't appearing, there's one specific reason: your website is running on roomvu's domain instead of your own.


How IDX Works on roomvu Websites

The IDX property search function is only available on websites connected to a custom domain. If your website is hosted on roomvu's default domain (an address like roomvu.com/agent/your-name), the property search bar will not appear, even if the Property Search option is enabled in your settings.

This is why some agents see the setting turned on but don't see the feature on their live site. The setting is working correctly, it's just waiting for a custom domain to activate on.


How to Get IDX Search on Your Website

The fix is to connect your own domain to your roomvu website:

  1. Click Website & Lead Forms from the left menu of your account

  2. Click the gear icon ⚙️ to enter your website settings

  3. In the Domain tab, click Set Up Your Domain

  4. Enter your domain, choose your provider, and follow the DNS setup steps

For the full walkthrough of connecting a domain, see our website setup guide.

Once your domain is active and verified, the IDX property search becomes available on your website, and buyers can search listings directly on your site.
