How long does it take for the Google VR channel to activate?

The Google VR (Vacation Rentals) channel is an excellent way to increase the visibility of your properties in Google searches. However, it's important to note that the activation process can take some time while Google validates and updates your property information.

How long does it take to activate?

The average activation time for the Google VR channel is 2 to 4 weeks, although in some cases it can be completed in less than a week.

What happens during this time?

1. Information validation:

Google reviews the property data provided through Aloha to ensure it meets its standards.

2. Weekly synchronization:

Google performs a weekly update to identify and add new properties connected to the channel.

3. Appearance in results:

Once activated, your property will appear as a pin on Google Maps when users search for vacation rental options in your area.

What to do if the property does not appear after 4 weeks?

If your property is still not visible after 4 weeks, contact the support team to review any necessary adjustments.
