More Listing Visibility Through Google Home Search

REcolorado Listings Now Searchable in Google

Recently, REcolorado joined Google’s Home Discovery pilot program, a partnership between HouseCanary and Google that allows listings from participating MLS’s to appear directly in Google’s search results. The goal for the pilot is for Google to become another high-visibility channel for agents to display listings. Through the integration, active listings from participating REcolorado brokerages may appear directly within Google Search, giving homebuyers another way to discover available homes while ensuring listing brokers and agents receive direct attribution.

How Your Listing Data is Displayed Through Google

REcolorado sends listing data to HouseCanary, which formats and delivers the data through ComeHome, HouseCanary’s real estate platform, to Google’s Home Discovery Program. Google displays listings that match relevant search prompts. During the pilot, Google manages which listings are shown, so not every agent will see their listings appear in Google Search, even if they are participating in the program. The listings that do appear in search results show the agent’s name and brokerage, and potential buyers can click to contact the listing agent.

How this Program Benefits Your Business

REcolorado customers will receive greater visibility on their listings at no additional cost. Active listings published in REcolorado’s MLS will automatically appear in Google. If the program expands widely, agents could attract leads for their listings without relying on traditional portals. Additionally, agents would retain attribution for their listings. The program may also simplify a buyer’s search for homes by reducing the number of needed clicks to find Active listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, having an REcolorado subscription automatically enrolls you in the program.

No. Participating brokers and agents do not pay to have their eligible listings included in Google’s Home Discovery Program, which is available through REcolorado’s partnership with HouseCanary at no additional cost. During the pilot, Google determines which eligible listings are displayed based on factors such as search relevance, and participation in the Home Discovery Program is separate from purchasing Google advertising.
