ByRVnGO

Whether you are starting out with your RV Rental Business, or you have been renting out your RV for a while and are established with repeat customers, one thing is certain. If you’re not found on Google, you may as well not exist. There is more and more competition in the RV Rental By Owner space. If you’re starting out, you may not have the marketing budget for paid ads, so you look for free marketing and guerilla tactics to get the word out.  The 1st thing to do so you are found when people do a search for ‘RV Rentals Near Me’ or ‘RV Rental By Owner’ on Google is to create a Google profile for your business so you will show on local Google Maps which will organically Grow Your RV Rental Business with Google Places.

Create A Google Account For Your RV Rental Business

When you create a Google Account, you automatically get a Gmail address. Just in case you haven’t created a Google account before, did you know that you can create one using an existing or work email address? This may be helpful, so you don’t need to remember another email address for the sole purpose of logging into Google websites and apps.

 Here are the steps:

  1. Go to the Google Account Sign In page.
  2. Click Create account.
  3. Enter your name.
  4. Click Use my current email address instead.
  5. Enter your current email address.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Verify your email address with the code sent to your existing email.
  8. Click Verify.

Drive Your RV Rental Business With Local Search

While it is true that eventually you will need to spend time on search engine optimization and create content to attract RV Renters, and have the content that the Google Algorithm likes, the easiest thing you can do to grow brand awareness of your RV Rental Business is start with a Google My Business profile and optimize it. Your free Business Profile on Google My Business helps you drive customer engagement with local customers across Google Search and Maps. Businesses create a listing for themselves on Google Maps by opening a Google Places account.

Provide a Great First Impression

Once your Google Profile is created, you can create a Google My Business Listing.

How do I create a Google business account?

Step 1: Create a Google Account.

Step 2: Go to www.business.google.com.

Step 3: Enter Your RV Rental Business Name.

Step 4: Enter Your Location & Delivery and Description.

Step 5: Tell Google what geographical areas you serve.

Step 6: Choose a Business Category.

Step 7: Add Contact Details.

Step 8: Add your RVnGO Profile URL or RV Listing URL.

Step 9: Finish and Verify Your Business with Google.

Optimize Your Google My Business Listing.

In your description and posts, give your potential renters the information they need to plan a trip to the campground or National Park. With Places, you can provide renters that information and give them your address, ratings, reviews, and a direct link to your RVnGO Profile url or listing url.

That way, when they are ready to take the next step, they can click the link, and see what RVs you have to offer, and you still keep 100% of your earnings, and still get the extra $50 for the completed booking. Adding photos and posts for a special offer or discount is also available. As local guides and customers submit reviews, that adds social proof and credibility to grow your RV Rental Business with Google Places. The best part is that it’s free.

You also will see how many visitors you are getting from your Google Places listing and how they connect with you.

Communication With RV Renters On Google Places

While, you can add your phone number and email to your Google My Business Listing and send and receive messages and answer questions within the GMB interface, We strongly advise to keep all of your communications and the RV Rental transaction within the RVnGO platform so that you are 100% protected against potential fraud.

Again we remind you that there is zero incentive for you to take a transaction outside of the platform since you will not earn any more money outside of RVnGO and it is not a better experience for the RV Renter.

It can be tempting to take the reservation off of the platform and cut out the middle man. That is kind of a jerk move though; to list on a site just to get the customer and then take that customer out of the system. Also, there are a lot of scammers out there and they can look legitimate many times. Some platforms allow you to speak directly with the Host or Guest before a transaction has taken place and request payment outside of the platform.

RVnGO STRONGLY ADVISES AGAINST ANY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A HOST OR GUEST OUTSIDE OF THE RVnGO PLATFORM.

It is against our policy and practice, as it opens the individual to fraud and harm. Any transaction that occurs outside of the RVnGO platform and/or our payment processing partner, is not protected and we are not held liable or accountable for any loss or damage.

RVnGO uses ONLY STRIPE as our payment processor for all reservations. You can click here to read more about Stripe’s security measures. 

 

We hope that helps you with a source for free marketing and getting brand awareness to Grow Your RV Rental Business with Google Places.   You can also boost your RV Rental business from your personal Facebook account at no charge by creating a Facebook Marketplace Listing.
