Mapping Area Analytics with AlphaMap
Updated over 7 months ago

Buildout is partnering with AlphaMap to provide an enhanced demographics feature within the Buildout Showcase platform you use. This integration will allow you to fully embed dynamic demographic maps and data into your own property website with your brand at no additional cost.

AlphaMap is an industry leader in providing up-to-date demographic information and mapping technology. Their “drive time” feature is especially useful for understanding your surrounding neighborhood. We’re thrilled to partner with their team to bring these capabilities to you.

To find this new data, you can navigate to a listing from your listing index. A new tab is now available below Demographics called Area Analytics. Here, you’ll be able to customize the settings of how you want to display this on your property websites.

Enhanced Listing Display with Area Analytics

Now, you have the flexibility to showcase advanced analytics for your property listing on your website. Tailor the display to your preferences by adjusting the visible categories, drive time, and radius rings.

Easy Configuration:

Navigate to the settings, where you can fine-tune your preferences. Below the settings, a live preview demonstrates how your choices will appear on the website.

Activation:

When satisfied, activate the feature by toggling the "Displaying area analytics on this listing" switch. Confirm your selections and save the settings.

Seamless Integration:

Experience the transformation on your property website with the newly added "Area Analytics" tab. The responsive design ensures visitors can effortlessly switch between categories, drive time, and radius rings.
