The AERO IDX / MLS® Listings Plugin
Your Listings. Your Website. Zero Monthly IDX Fees.
We built our own IDX plugin so Canadian REALTORS® can stop renting their listings back from third-party vendors. It's fast, it's native to your WordPress site, it looks like your brand — and it's included at no cost with every AERO build.
- $0/mo with an AERO build
- Built In-House in Canada
- Native WordPress — No iframes

How it works
From the MLS® System to Your Inbox, On Autopilot
We connect the feed, map it to your design and keep it running. You keep listing the way you always have.

Capabilities
Everything You Expect From IDX. None of the Baggage.
Designed by the same team that builds your website, so your listings look and feel like the rest of your brand.
Automatic Listing Sync
Pulls your listings — or your whole brokerage's, where your feed allows — and keeps prices, photos and statuses current without manual uploads.
Designed to Match Your Brand
Listing grids, galleries and detail pages are styled to your site — fonts, colours and layout — instead of a vendor's generic template.
SEO-Indexed Listing Pages
Each listing gets a real URL on your domain with schema markup, so search engines credit your site for every address you represent.
Search, Filters & Map
Buyers filter by area, type, price and bedrooms and browse on a map — the experience they expect from the big portals, on your site.
Lead Capture on Every Listing
Book-a-showing and question forms sit on every listing page and route to your inbox with the listing details attached.
Compliance Built In
Listing attribution, required feed disclaimers, correct REALTOR® and MLS® trademark use and your brokerage name — handled on every page.
Fast on Every Phone
Lightweight code and optimized images keep photo-heavy listing pages quick, which buyers — and Google's Core Web Vitals — reward.
Native to WordPress
Runs inside your own WordPress site with shortcodes you can drop on any page — featured listings on the home page, a full search page, community pages.
Supported by Real People
The developers who wrote the plugin are the ones who support it — locally, in Toronto, on your time zone.
Side by side
Typical IDX Subscriptions vs AERO IDX
Why we stopped recommending rented IDX tools and built our own.
| What matters | Typical third-party IDXMonthly subscription | AERO IDXIncluded with your build |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly IDX fee | Ongoing, for as long as you show listings | $0 with an AERO website |
| Where listings live | Often an iframe or a vendor subdomain | Real pages on your own domain |
| SEO credit | Frequently goes to the vendor | Indexed under your brand |
| Design | Vendor template with limited styling | Custom-designed to match your site |
| Leads | May be shared or routed through the vendor | Straight to your inbox |
| Support | Ticket queue, often outside Canada | The Toronto team that built it |
Free when rolled into your AERO website
Every AERO Websites for REALTORS® package includes the IDX / MLS® feed integration, plugin setup and styling free — with no monthly fees. Your flat rate covers year one of hosting, then it's $200 a year. Board or association data-access fees, if your feed has any, are separate.
Questions
IDX & MLS® FAQ
Common questions about getting your listings onto your website.
What's the difference between IDX and CREA DDF®?
Both are data feeds of MLS® listing content. CREA's Data Distribution Facility (DDF®) is a national service available to CREA members, while IDX feeds are offered by individual real estate boards and associations. We'll confirm which feeds you're eligible for and connect the best one for your market.
Which listings will appear on my site?
That depends on the feed permissions you have. Most agents start with their own listings; where your board or brokerage allows it, we can display your brokerage's listings or a wider area search.
Is there really no monthly cost?
Correct — no monthly fees. The IDX / MLS® feed integration is free with your website build, your flat rate includes the first year of hosting, and hosting is $200 a year after that. If your board or association charges for data access, that fee is separate and we'll tell you up front.
Do I need to update listings on my website?
No. Once the feed is connected, new listings, price changes and status updates sync automatically. You keep working in the MLS® System as usual.
