Adding my Airbnb to Google My Business

[Jane4321]

I'd like people to find my Airbnb on Google Maps - so I've created a Google Business Profile and added my Airbnb URL.  However, Google doesn't display it on the listing.  Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?

Also, I'm not sure which category to add the listing under:
Bed & Breakfast

Serviced Accommodation
Self Catering Accommodation
?

BTW my listing is a private room: airbnb.co.uk/h/grangegarden

Thanks for any feedback!

Hello @Jane4321,

That’s a very interesting idea. I would like to do that myself. I reckon we would need senior management in Google to speak to senior management in AirBnB.

following this with interest☺️

Hello @Jane4321, 

This can be done, I have managed to do it.

[https://www.google.com/maps/place/GHAR+Homes/@51.3886073,-2.3589965,120m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m15!1m8!3m7!...]

You need to fill in all the necessary information.

However, it may not work in your case as you are renting a room in your house and not the whole property.

Furthermore, where this falls down is if you have multiple units, it only shows one. I have not yet found a way to have multiple units listed!

Hope this helps

Thanks for sharing Paul!

I should have clarified in my previous message. I've already created the Google Profile. But the website field iie. my Airbnb URL that isn't being displayed: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/1050792139855916294

I wonder if there are manual checks for the proposed information to be added, before it's finally added?  Maybe Airbnb URLs are blocked for some reason. Was your website displayed immediately after adding the info?

BTW my Google URL:
