# How to Change the Listings on an Area Guide

Choose which listings show on an Area Guide page: switch between your IDX and Listings Hub, pick the areas, or use a saved search for exact filters.

The listings on an Area Guide page come from its **Featured Listings** section. You choose where they come from and which areas they cover.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the Featured Listings settings

Go to **Site Tools** > **Area Guides**. If your page is a neighborhood or development, switch the dropdown at the top from **Areas** to **Neighborhoods** or **Developments**. Then click **Edit** next to the page. Click **Layers View** (the stacked icon) in the toolbar, then click **Featured Listings**. Its settings open on the right. Open the **Content** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the source

**Source** sets where the listings come from:

* **Your IDX** (AgentFire IDX or Showcase IDX): listings from the MLS.
* **Listings Hub**: only listings you added yourself in Listings Hub.

New area pages can start with **Source** set to **Listings Hub**, which only shows listings you added yourself, so the page looks empty. If you want MLS listings, set **Source** to your IDX.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the areas or a saved search

With an IDX source, either pick the areas in **Select Areas**, or turn on **Saved Search** and pick one of your saved searches.

Use a saved search when you need exact filters, like only single-family homes, no rentals, or a drawn boundary. Create the search first: see [How to Create a Saved Listing Search](/agentfire-idx/property-alerts-and-saved-searches/agentfire-idx-create-a-custom-saved-search.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Click **Save**, then check the page on your live site.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The same panel also has the section's **Title**, **Sub Title**, **Show Filters**, **Status Ribbon**, and the **Button Label** and **Custom Link** for the button under the listings.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **map, local data and schools** at the top of the page are set somewhere else: **Settings** (the gear) > **Data Feed**. Changing the listings here doesn't change those. See [How to Add an Area Guide Page](/site-tools/area-guides/area-guide-adding-and-editing-a-new-page.md#page-settings).
{% endhint %}

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>Listings from another city or a nearby area show up.</summary>

The areas you picked may cover more than you expect, since MLS boundaries don't always match neighborhood names. Use a saved search with a drawn boundary for that area instead, and pick it under **Saved Search**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I made a saved search, but the page still shows other listings.</summary>

Making the search isn't enough. Turn on **Saved Search** in the page's **Featured Listings** settings, pick the search, and save.

</details>

<details>

<summary>The page shows no listings.</summary>

Check **Source** first. If it's set to **Listings Hub**, only listings you added yourself show. If it's your IDX, check that the area has active listings on your property search page.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Listings show, but the map or market data is empty or wrong.</summary>

That's the page's **Data Feed**, not the listings. Open **Settings** > **Data Feed** and check the area.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can you set it up for me?</summary>

Yes. Email <support@agentfire.com> with the page and the listings you'd like to show, like the area, price range and property types.
