Maybe you missed the most exciting part of our March 13th release with 21 updates (/support/articles/update-2024-03-13) , but it's not too late to read all about how Google Vacation Rentals is now available for all!

If I do need to make them into individual sites, can I use subdomains, such that Property 1 goes to property1.domainname.com, Property 2 goes to property2.domainname.com, etc.?

It depends on what is important to you....
If you use the hosted site option the guest is shown your website/brand directly when they come over from Google. If you use the global landing pa...
also if I start with directing to my OR hosted site, can I switch to Google global landing page later? And vice versa? Is it an easy switch? by JohnK (/forums/users/347426943) – Mar 24, 2024 2:20 PM (UTC)

It hows that I am now intergrated with GVR. When I go to GVR several things are occuring.
1: My property does not show under "houses" but shows under "cottage"
2: There isn't a landing page that shows pricing or "inquire"

You can, but keep in mind that some surcharges may not work on Google the same way they work on other channels. That is why differentiation may be important. You can set 2 surcharges : one for Google va...
