Host public landing page

[Brad22]

Hello.

I recall that there was a public landing page with a custom sub-url that was easy to remember.  Is that thing still now, as I can't find any sign or reference to it.

Thanks.

@Brad31 , if I knew what a custom sub-url was, I'd be glad to help!

But I'm guessing here - my listing has this URL - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23646613?s=51 - and you're suggesting there was a shorter URL, one with words or something in it?

If that's what you mean, I've never seen it, and if that's not what you mean, I'm totally lost.  🙂

Hi @Ann72 ,

Yes, a shorter and meaningful name like  https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/bconquer

It must have been a dream, because I can't locate the email or any reference, but I thought there was a landing page URL like https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/bconquer that would display all of my listings on a single page.

[Ann72]

@Brad22 That would be nice!  The profile page displays all the listings, but not on the mobile app.  Which is annoying, becuase I've created an Instagram for my three listings, and I'd like to put a link in the profile that will bring people straight to the listings...

If you figure out a way, let us know!

[Brad22]

Thanks @Ann72.  Yes, i thought about hosting my own domain with a similar link.  Will do so later this year after my house gets painted. 🙂

@Brad22 It's funny we're having this conversation today, because I just made a change on my Instagram page.  Since you can't have a link that directs people straight to all your listings, I put in my email address for direct bookings this morning.  And got my first inquiry today.  Don't know if anything will come of it, but making it as easy as possible for people to get to you seems to be key!

@Brad22  this has been talked about a lot but the shorter url never appeared.

This is your pro marketing page, https://www.airbnb.co.uk/users/32679997/listings

[Brad22]

@Jeff158  THAT IS IT!  Where did you find this?  I was recalling a shorter url, but the content is how I remember it.

Thanks.

See this link @Ann72  https://www.airbnb.co.uk/users/32679997/listings

@Brad22 @Jeff158 Oh my gosh, that is so cool, how did you get that?  I'll go look for my pro marketing page meanwhile...  Thanks, guys!

[Jeff158]

@Brad22 @Ann72 

A link to the pro marketing page should be on the right hand side of your dashboard.

[Brad22]

That link doesn't appear on my page either. @Ann72 @Jeff158 

[Ann72]

@Jeff158 It was there once, a few weeks ago, but it's disappeared.

Yesterday I did some registering of my business to access more tools, and I'm waiting to hear back.  Maybe that will be one of the tools.

[Jeff158]

@Ann72  @Brad22  I suppose it stands to reason, that a professional marketing page is now only available if you use the professional hosting tools. No idea if this is true, you can find out by going to your account settings and clicking on settings, then switch on professional hosting tools (it still works if you only have one listing).

We never know if something is going to work for someone else as we have different dashboards in different countries and airbnb are constantly changing things.

If anyone has already set up a pro page and lost it, substitute your account number for Brads in the link above.

[Ann72]

@Jeff158 I do have professional tools turned on, so this is a head-scratcher.  I opened my profile and copied the number from that link, then pasted it into @Brad22's link, but it didn't work.  I changed the URL to .com instead of .co.uk and that didn't work either!  So I don't know.  Maybe the changes are coming after some more tweaks.

[Brad22]

@Jeff158 @Ann72  That setting change worked for me!!!  Awesomesauce.  I can now see the link for my pro marketing page.  I appreciate the tip.
