List Your Properties

Introduction

Before adding properties to Zeevou, make sure you read through the following if any of them apply to your portfolio:

1. Setting Up Multiple Units in One Location

2. Rent Your Property as a Whole OR in Parts

3. Set Your Listing Defaults

There are 3 ways in which you can list your properties on Zeevou. Feel free to select the one you prefer, or mix and match for different properties on your portfolio.

Whichever option you select, after creating the Listings, make sure to open each Unit Type and add enough beds so that the total number of sleepers matches the maximum guest capacity you have specified, or you may face issues when connecting to channels.

1. Import from Airbnb

If your property is already listed on Airbnb, you can quickly add it to Zeevou through our Airbnb Import Option which scrapes the listing that a guest sees and pulls through all the photos, descriptions and amenities. Please note, that this step does NOT map the calendar. You will be talked through how to do so in future steps.

To get started with importing your listing from Airbnb, click here.

If you haven’t listed your property on Airbnb, choose one of the following methods.

2. Manually Create Listings

Use our Listing Creation Wizard to easily list your properties on Zeevou.

To get started with manually creating your listings one by one, click here.

If you have a large portfolio, you may wish to use the option below.

3. Bulk Import Listings via Spreadsheet

You can import your entire portfolio in one go by using a spreadsheet. You will be able to upload images and select amenities and other details for each listing once imported.

Import Listings from Airbnb

This process only scrapes data from your Airbnb listings. You don’t need to be logged in to your account to proceed with this. It will not affect any data on your account, and it will not create an integration to Zeevou.
