Generate social media posts for your listing

Use the social marketing tool to create ready-to-post content for your listings.

The social marketing tool writes a ready-to-paste post for X, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook from any of your published listings. Each post is built from the listing’s own title, description, tagline, location, price, duration, highlights and category, kept within that platform’s length limit, and includes a link that tracks clicks back to your listing. It is free with every host account.

The social marketing page

Generate a post

  1. Open

    Social marketing

    and pick the listing you want to promote. Only published listings appear.

  2. Tick the platforms you post on — X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook — any or all.

  3. Choose a

    post type

    (announcement, feature highlight, guest testimonial, seasonal promotion, last-minute deal or early-bird offer) and an

    opening style

    (question, key benefit, urgency, curiosity, stat or guest quote).

  4. Click

    Generate Posts

    .

  5. Copy the post you want, paste it into your own account on that platform, edit it if you like, and publish it there.

  6. Back in the dashboard, mark the post as copied or posted so your history stays accurate.

What the post contains

  • An opening line in the style you chose.

  • Your listing title, location and duration, plus up to three highlights.

  • A tracking link unique to that post, which takes guests to your listing.

  • Hashtags sized to the platform: 1–3 on X, 5–15 on Instagram, 3–5 on LinkedIn, 2–3 on Facebook.

Publishing

You publish the post yourself from your own social account. Finding Retreats does not connect to or post to your accounts. Posts you generate are saved under History, where you can copy them again or delete them.

Tips

  • Improve the listing first — a strong tagline and specific highlights make a better post, because the post is built from them.

  • Generate a fresh post for each platform rather than pasting one everywhere; each version is written to that platform’s length and hashtag conventions.

  • Keep the tracking link in the post when you edit it, so the clicks still show up in your dashboard.
