Please choose the correct type for your listing. For attractions that are both paid and free to visitors (such as an optional entry fee) choose “Paid Attraction”. For recurring events such as markets, use “Free Attraction”.
You can choose more than one category if it makes sense. The first one listed becomes the “Default” which determines the map icon. There is no benefit in choosing unrelated categories.
Add the site where you want visitors to go to make bookings, etc, with the format https://name.com (or .co.nz etc). Once checked, this cannot be changed.
Choose the name that is closest to how the place or business is known elsewhere. An Airbnb, for example, should have the same name as that which is on the Airbnb platform.Â
Write around 200 words to describe the place or business. You can’t copy someone else’s work but you can use Chat-gpt or other AI products to rewrite it as your own. Use subtitles and other editing tools to make your text interesting and engaging.
Tags are words that people might use to find what they’re looking for. Add up to 20 Tags, separated by commas, to help your listing be found in Google search. Examples are: Apartment, Spa pool, playground, cafe, hotel, etc.
Type the address and select it from the dropdown. Alternatively, drag the marker on the map. Use the map zoom to show the location in a meaningful way. The zoom you choose is what visitors see.
For Airbnb listings, the physical address that you choose here is hidden from visitors. For natural features, only the approximate location is shown to visitors.
You can add up to 9 images to your listing by choosing them from a file (click “Select”), or dragging them into the image uploading area. Drag them to rearrange the order. The first image is used as the main (top) image. Images are automatically centred, so if an image doesn’t look good, choose another size or layout. For best display results, choose large file sizes (screenshots will be fuzzy) and JPG or Jpeg file types. Images are automatically resized.
For best Search Engine Optimization (SEO), rename the files with a sensible name before uploading them. For example, rename the photo of your BnB’s kitchen as “yourbnbname-kitchen.jpeg”.
iPhone images must be saved as .jpeg or .JPG before being uploaded. Web browsers can’t read .HEIC files.
Add the contact details that you want visitors to use to contact you. These are displayed on Business listings only.
If you have a business listing, share your opening hours here (click “Yes” to start. You can update them anytime. The timezone is set for all of New Zealand automatically and doesn’t need to be changed.
