How To Connect to Google Things to do

Overview

Google has released Google Things to Do, a search experience for attractions and ticketing-based businesses.

Before you get started

During the setup, you will need to designate a landing page for each product. If you choose to use your own website (or a 3rd party site) as the landing page, you must ensure that:

• The landing page goes directly to the details and descriptions of the product.
• Your Rezdy product's description, images and price must match the landing page.
• The price of the product must be easy to see.
• Products must feature the experience shown in the title and images.
• Product titles should lead with concise information about the product itself.

Failing to follow these policies may result in your products being excluded from Google Things to do search results.

Note: Make sure you have at least one payment method enabled within the Settings > Payments page. Click here to learn more.

How to manage your products
