HOW TO...

Claiming your TripAdvisor listing is easy and will help you gain more traffic to your website and business!  Just follow the easy steps below!

TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel community with 455 million monthly visitors, 96 million members, 600 million reviews and opinions with 49 sites in 28 languages.  In short, you want to get listed!  The best part, is that it's free.

​Getting listed will allow a diverse community of travelers to engage with your location and hopefully turn those browsers into visitors!

​With your TripAdvisor listing, you can keep up to date information in front of visitors, generate and manage feedback  and track your location's performance.

​To get started, follow along with this fantastic instructional video posted by Toya Wilson-Smith or check out the step-by-step instructions below.
After entering the information for your listing, you may have to wait up to 5 days before you get your approval email.  During this time, strategize how you might use this new resource!  After your listing is approved, be sure to let past visitors know about your listing and encourage them to your review your listing detailing their great experiences!

QUICK TIP:  When you get to the image for your listing be sure to only upload JPG or GIF images UNDER 100KB or the picture will be rejected and you will have to re-enter all of the information for your listing again.
Step 4: Now you wait
If your listing was previously claimed...
Sometimes visitors or others who are not you, may claim your listing.  Don't fret, you will just need to verify that you are the true listing owner.  On the www.tripadvisor.com/Owners page there is a place for you to verify your listing after initially searching for your listing.
