What Are Website Widgets?
Real Geeks website widgets give you the power to generate leads by placing interactive tools directly on your website or other online platforms. These widgets are designed to capture interest and convert casual visitors into potential clients by giving them instant access to the information they’re looking for.
They’re easy to implement, can be placed virtually anywhere, and help expand your reach beyond your main site.
Search Widget Overview
The Search Widget replicates the primary property search tool on your Real Geeks website. This gives leads the ability to search active listings directly from wherever the widget is placed—whether on a content page, blog, sidebar, or even an external site like a local blog or business partner’s site.
Once a user performs a search using the widget, they’re automatically forwarded to your website to review the full set of results. If they continue browsing or request more information, they’ll be prompted to sign up, turning anonymous traffic into tracked leads.
This widget is ideal for agents who want to promote active listings through neighborhood pages, blog posts, or affiliate content outside the main site.
Home Valuation Widget Overview
The Home Valuation Widget allows potential sellers to request a custom property evaluation through your site. Visitors simply enter their address and are taken through a lead-capture experience that ends with a prompt to provide their contact information.
This widget is especially useful when promoting home value offers via email, social media ads, or blog content. Whether you’re focused on listing opportunities or attracting curious homeowners, the valuation widget helps initiate the conversation.
How to Access the Widgets
To find your widgets:
- Go to your website backend by adding /admin to the end of your website domain (www.website.com/admin)
- Select Search Widget or Home Valuation Widget located in the widgets section
From there, you’ll be able to view available widget types, customize them, and generate the code needed to embed them elsewhere.
How to Embed Widgets On or Off Your Site
Each widget includes a block of HTML code that can be copied and pasted into any area that supports custom HTML.
To add a widget to your Real Geeks website, paste the code into the content area of a blog post, content page, or sidebar widget section.
To use the widget on an outside site, like a partner blog or landing page, paste the code directly into that platform’s HTML editor.
Make sure the platform where you’re embedding supports third-party scripts or iframe code, depending on the type of widget.
Best Practices for Using Widgets
Use search widgets to increase site traffic from external platforms like community blogs, niche landing pages, or local guides
Embed home valuation widgets on seller-focused pages, ad landing pages, or marketing emails to attract listing leads
Place widgets high on the page or within engaging content to increase interaction and lead sign-ups
Always test your widget placement to ensure it displays properly and directs traffic as intended
Widgets are simple to add but powerful in helping you convert interest into opportunity.
