Smoobu website design
A custom Smoobu website, not another template.
Smoobu's website builder gets you online quickly. When you want a site that stands out and ranks, I build a custom WordPress website with Smoobu's booking engine built in, while Smoobu keeps your calendar, prices and channels in sync.
100+ five-star reviews on Fiverr. See my profileCan I use Smoobu's booking engine on my own website?
Yes. Smoobu's booking engine can be embedded in any external website using the code from its Embed in website settings, either as a form for one property or as a form for all properties with a search. Smoobu also provides a hosted booking page you can link to. On a custom WordPress site, the booking form handles dates and payment while your pages carry the design and SEO.

How I connect Smoobu to your website
The right method depends on your portfolio, your Smoobu setup and your budget. Platforms change their integration options often, so I confirm what your account supports before quoting.
-
Single-property booking form
Each property page gets its own Smoobu booking form showing only that property's availability and price.
-
All-properties search
The homepage or properties page gets the multi-property form, so guests can search every rental at once.
-
Hosted booking page
Buttons can also link to your Smoobu booking page, which is handy for emails and social profiles.
-
Smoobu API
For custom features such as live prices on property cards, the Smoobu API can supply rates and availability.
SEO for Smoobu websites
The booking tool converts. The page around it ranks. Here is what I do on every Smoobu build so Google, Bing and AI assistants can understand and recommend your properties.
- Each property gets its own URL and a written description that isn't copied from Airbnb.
- Image filenames and alt text describing the rooms, views and surroundings.
- The booking form lazy-loads with reserved space, protecting Core Web Vitals.
- VacationRental schema stating location, capacity and amenities in machine-readable form.
- Language versions with correct hreflang if you host international guests.
- Your Google Business Profile and local listings aligned with the details on the website.

Smoobu website questions
Something else about your Smoobu setup? Send me a message and I'll answer within a day.
Yes. Smoobu's booking engine is added with an embed code, which works in a WordPress Custom HTML block. I build the pages around it and style it to fit.
Usually both: a multi-property search on the homepage and a single-property form on each property page.
Not until the new site is live. After launch, the old site is redirected or unpublished so only one version appears in search.
Yes. Website bookings are normal Smoobu bookings, so automated messages, payments and channel sync all work as before.
Most launch in 7 to 14 days, depending on the number of properties and how quickly photos and descriptions are ready.
