Alright, folks—let’s talk about Tripadvisor. If you’re in the travel or hospitality game, having a solid presence on Tripadvisor isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must. Whether you’re running a cozy B&B, a hip new restaurant, or the hottest tourist spot in town, Tripadvisor is your ticket to credibility and visibility. With nearly every traveler out there scrolling through reviews before making a booking, not being on Tripadvisor is like opening a restaurant and forgetting to put up a sign.
Here’s the thing: getting your business on Tripadvisor is easier than you think. Let’s walk through the process, step by step.
Claiming an Existing Listing
Step 1: Find Your Business
First off, head over to Tripadvisor. Use the search bar to find your business. Just type in the name, and if Tripadvisor already has a listing for you, it should pop up. If you see your business, click on it. If not, don’t worry—we’ll get to adding a new listing in a sec.
Step 2: Claim It
If your business is listed but unclaimed, you’ll see a little “Unclaimed” tag next to the name. Hover over that and click “Claim your free listing now.” You’ll be redirected to a page where you can confirm that you’re the owner or authorized representative of the business.
Step 3: Confirm Your Details
Tripadvisor will ask for some basic info—your name, role, etc. Fill that out, agree to the terms, and click “Confirm.”
Step 4: Verify Your Identity
Now, it’s time to verify that you’re legit. Tripadvisor will offer you a phone verification option. Choose whether you want a call or a text, enter the code they give you, and bam—you’re in control of your listing.
Adding a New Listing
If Tripadvisor doesn’t have your business listed, no sweat. You can create a new listing.
Step 1: Start Your Listing
Go to Tripadvisor’s Create Listing Page. You’ll see options for different types of businesses like restaurants, accommodations, or things to do. Pick the one that fits your biz.
Step 2: Fill Out Your Business Details
You’ll need to fill in the basics—name, address, phone number, and so on. Make sure everything’s accurate because this is what your customers will see.
Step 3: Confirm You’re the Rep
Tripadvisor will ask you to confirm that you’re authorized to manage the listing. Check that box and hit “Continue.”
Step 4: Review and Submit
Double-check your info, make any final tweaks, and then click “Yes, confirm.” Tripadvisor will review your submission, and once it’s live, you can claim it as we discussed earlier.
Managing Your Tripadvisor Listing
Congrats, you’re officially on Tripadvisor! Now the real work begins—keeping that listing fresh and your reviews glowing. Whether it’s updating business hours, adding mouth-watering photos, or responding to reviews (yes, even the not-so-great ones), managing your Tripadvisor presence is an ongoing gig.
If you ever hit a snag, Tripadvisor’s Help Center is packed with resources to guide you through the process.
