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.

Just the custom one Becky, as Google indexes both, so you don';t need to complicate matters by having two cars or two address on one.

If you were doing a business card would you put both links on it? or would I have to do 2 cards?

I guess its being rolled out a bit at a time, but if  the option isn't showing in your hosting dashboard you might still see it below the photos and title in your listing in the edit listing menu. Check my previous replies to other hosts who have asked the same question if still needing more help if you like or reply here. xx Elaine

Are there any hosts that don't have this option yet? I haven't seen it and I'm just wondering if it's still there. I'm still superhost and don't see the option.

Thanks Elaine 

i have found it in my listings. 👍

Just done making the URL link.  Went with www.airbnb.com/p/hellohousegc    which shortens the very hard to memorize and communicate;  www.airbnb.com/users/238682954/listings URL.  Thank you Airbnb.  🙂  Your making paying the mortgage and living comfortably in a tourist town a ton easier.  And now it will be a lot easier for our friends and neighbors to pass the word on how to find us online to book.  Just tried using the search bar and the key words Airbnb Hello House and our listings popped up.  That is so cool.  Thanks.  .

Im fairly new to Airbnb and this is something to look forward to.

Is this available for Superhosts only? I am not a Superhost, but I also got invitation from Airbnb to create my personal link

[Jordan367]

Are we able to create our own custom links now? I’ve been waiting for an email update on how to go about doing this. Maybe I missed it?
