Early access for Superhosts: custom Airbnb web addresses

[Airbnb]

Superhosts deserve web addresses that are as unique as their homes and hospitality. And soon, all Superhosts will be able to create a custom web address—an exclusive, easy-to-remember link that will help guests find their specific listings and make it easier to brand and promote their business. That’s right, no more lengthy web addresses that include random numbers and symbols (unless you prefer them, of course).

In the next couple of months, we’ll be introducing custom links to Superhosts. Superhosts will receive an email or a dashboard notification with a link to create their personalized web addresses.

Let’s brainstorm some ideas to make your link stand out. First, here’s what the new format will look like:

• airbnb.com/h/[your custom name]

Some web address examples:

• /french-alps-vacation-homes-and-cabins
• /babu-getaways
• /helens-homes
• /private-room-in-barcelona-city-center

Things to think about:

• What makes your space special?
• Is your space in a unique location?
• What makes your area or city one-of-a-kind?

Tips on making your custom link easier to read:

• Use lowercase letters
• Use hyphens, if you wish, but no other symbols or punctuation
• Keep it short: 100 characters or fewer is ideal
• Keep it private: don’t include contact information such as last names, email addresses, or phone numbers

Other points to keep in mind:

• Avoid the word “Airbnb” and any trademarks or brand names, unless you own them or are authorized to use them
• Steer clear of misleading information such as “verified” and “official,” and impersonations of another person, entity, or listing
• See our policy with more details on what is allowed

This feature was designed so Superhosts can create memorable web addresses, put them on business cards and in email signatures, and promote them on social media. In the coming months, all Superhosts will get access to this feature—thank you for providing hospitality as unique as your future web address.

*Superhosts are allowed one custom URL per listing. If at some point, you’re no longer a Superhost, you will be able to keep your custom web address. If your listing becomes deactivated, the custom URL is then available for another listing to claim.

Easy. Just go to your normal editing dashboard for your listing. You will find a heading called "Custom Link", (directly underneath the one that says  "title and description"). Click the tab to the immediate right of this in a green square that says "edit" and type in your chosen link name. It will still come up with the old room number address so all good!

Thanks  Airbnb...how or where could I get my custom web address ASAP? I need to print my business cards.

Kind regards

Ok, so I clicked on the "create custom link" and all it took me to was my listings. So i clicked on the listings...then what? no button to click on as "ok" or place to make a new custom link. They said this would be available 8/28..not sure what happened.

[Marta-and-Arnold0]

Ok, so I found someone else's post to create custom link. Can I suggest we have one link for all listings. I have 5 listings and it is going to be crazy to have to give all 5 links to people asking for links and put all 5 on business cards. 

Thanks.

Been waiting a while. When?

[Geoff-and--Lisa-B0]

With a home from home feeling during your visit.

Easy! If you are a Superhost, then using a laptop or a computer go to your dashboard where you will see above your notifications, and below your "hints" a box that  says "Promote your listing with a custom link" .  Click on that  and it will take you to your listing(s)  Select the listing you want to edit and scroll down to below the Title edit box and you will see where to create your custom link .  Hope the images blow help you.  The second on is from my own listing , but as I have already created the custom link it is already showing as that.  xx ElainePromote your Listing with a Custom inklHow to edit ore create your custom link

Could the link be written as ArtistsClutteredBedroom?  At a glance, that's easier to read. My personal URL is LoriCain.com, although if you type in loricain.com, it works also.  In other words, do we have to add hyphens?

Awesome feature for superhosts! I will create my personalized web addresses right away
