Step 1: Access Your Hosting Dashboard
To start the process of creating a custom URL, it’s best to use a computer as the Airbnb app might not support this feature. Begin by logging into your Airbnb account on your computer.
Once logged in, click on the “Switch to hosting” option located at the top right corner of the page. This action will direct you to your hosting dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Listings
Within your hosting dashboard, look for the “Listings” option. Clicking on this will open up all your available listings.
Scroll down towards the bottom of the page until you find the option for a custom link. This is the section where you can create and edit your custom URL.
Step 3: Create Your Custom URL
Upon reaching the custom link section, you will see your current URL. This is where you can make your URL unique and easy to remember. Change it to something that reflects your property or brand. For example, you might use a name like “STRSpecialist”.
After choosing a suitable name, simply click on “Save” to finalize your new custom URL. This change makes it easier to share your listing with friends, family, or potential guests, without the hassle of long, complicated URLs.
Step 4: Share Your New URL
With your new custom URL, sharing your Airbnb listing becomes straightforward. You can now tell anyone to visit your custom URL, and they’ll be directed to your listing page.
This simple tweak not only enhances the sharing experience but also adds a professional touch to your marketing efforts.
