This release is all about the first hour of being a Guidoso host. A guided setup gets a property live fast, validated addresses make every direction in your guide accurate, and a run of refinements smooth the path from sign up to share. Here is what changed, and who it is for.
New hosts don't start at a blank screen. You land straight in a guided walkthrough that goes from naming your property to a shareable guide, with a live preview building beside you the whole way. About two minutes, start to finish.
Where: Workspace, then Add a property.
It doesn't open empty. In the walkthrough you set a cover photo and tap the amenities your place has, and the guest preview fills in as you go. You leave with a guide that already looks ready, not a blank page to finish later.
Search by your property's name or its street address. Guidoso finds the match, verifies it, and fills in the neighborhood. Your guide uses the exact spot for accurate distances and walking times, while your public listing shows only the city and neighborhood, so your precise address stays private.
Stuck on what to suggest? Guidoso proposes nearby places worth sending guests to, each with a ready to use description. Check the ones you like and add them in a tap. A strong list of local spots, without the blank page.
Running it solo? Invite family, a friend, or a management company to help with a property. Give them view only access, or let them edit guides and listings, across all your properties or just one. You stay in control of who can do what.
Naming your guide's web address now suggests clean, available options as you type, so you land on one that sticks.
We cleared the snags around sign up and email confirmation, the steps before the guided setup. New hosts reach the walkthrough and start building, not troubleshooting.
Each property you set up now gets a checked, mapped address. Locations stay accurate and consistent across the properties you handle, which means fewer corrections later and fewer guests heading the wrong way.
Owners and teammates you invite now land in the right place when they accept. One less snag as you bring people onto a property.
Get invited into an owner's workspace with the access that fits, view only or full edit, across all their properties or just the ones you handle. You manage exactly what you should, nothing more.
New ways to share your guide, on screen and off, are on the way.
We are shaping what guests get when they open your guide. More to share as it comes together.
We are making the places you send guests to even more useful. More to come.
And plenty more in the works that we are not ready to show just yet.
