How to add my Airbnb to Google

[Mark Proctor]

I would like my Airbnb to show up in a google search, so I have a few questions.

1)  I found a website that explained how to add it to "Google my Business."  It requires a mailing address for the Airbnb, but I do not receive mail there.  The airbnb is in an apartment building, but I would prefer to not receive any mail there.  Any idea what my options are?  I've wondered if I can use the address even though I don't receive mail, or possibly getting a P.O. Box.

2) Is there a better way to show up in a Google search?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Quote from @Michael Baum:

Hey @Mark Proctor, what you are asking about is Search Engine Optimization. SEO. It is now a very complicated and involved process to appear in the top 10 of any kind of Google search.

You could spend tens of thousands of dollars to achieve this goal. It is one of the thing that can really hold back moving completely off of AirBNB and VRBO.

There is a ton of info out there so I would do a search (Google or similar) and start reading up on how to get noticed on the various search engines.

He's trying to list his property as a business via Google my Business.  It's a separate thing from search/SEO, though like most things google, they make it confusing.
