Webready integration with Google's Vacation Rental platform

Updated by Phoebe De Riggs

Every day, millions of users around the world use Google to plan their travels. Travelers use Google to research where they want to stay, share listings with travel companions, and visit partner sites to make bookings. Webready is now providing you the ability to list your rentals on Google. To use the feature, follow these steps.

Note: Please remember that to use GVR, your rental must be linked to a Webready website.  The steps to create a website can be found here: ​
