01 / THE PROVIDER CHALLENGEOne change can affect many client sites.
One template change.
Many client websites.
A redesign can move listing credit. A theme update can hide a disclaimer. When the same code runs across client websites, a small change can affect many displays. Check those displays against the rules that apply to each MLS.
Check each MLS’s requirements
Review listing attribution, required disclaimers, and display legibility against the applicable MLS rules.
Give your team a clear next step
Review the page evidence, identify the change needed, and track the correction through a follow-up check.
An example of board-specific requirements: CRMLS publishes standards for attribution placement, legibility, and contact labeling. Each MLS’s current rules and agreements must be assessed separately.
FOR THE TEAMS BEHIND IDX WEBSITES
Find the display issue.
Fix it at the source.
When a display issue comes from a shared template, reviewing one website may help your team identify other affected sites. Bring the page evidence and the applicable rule into the same review.

Who is Client Website Monitoring for?+
IDX vendors, real estate website platforms, and agencies that build, host, or maintain IDX websites for brokers and agents. The service focuses on client websites they are authorized to monitor.
Is this the same as Network Discovery?+
No. Client Website Monitoring checks the websites you manage. Network Discovery looks for candidate websites beyond a board’s known list. They serve different needs and are scoped separately.
Can a website be checked against more than one MLS?+
Monitoring is scoped to each website’s applicable MLS rules. Where a site combines multiple sources, the engagement must establish which rules apply to each display. A universal checklist cannot resolve every MLS-specific requirement.
Does monitoring guarantee compliance?+
No. Findings identify potential issues for review. Monitoring does not replace MLS approval, licensing obligations, broker oversight, or a board’s interpretation of its rules. Some checks require authorized MLS data or records beyond a public page.
Are provider findings automatically shared with boards?+
Provider and board engagements need separate reporting scopes and agreed permissions. Any sharing should be expressly defined in the contract. The current demo does not transmit findings or send notices to anyone.
Can we explore the provider workflow?+
Choose IDX provider at demo sign-in to explore client websites grouped by MLS, review sample findings, and track corrections. The demo uses fictional data and does not run live scans. Contact us to discuss your monitoring requirements.
