How to turn your new and existing travel content into dynamic guides that are beautifully bookable through Curated
Head to your Curator dashboard
Under the Content Tab, hit Create Content and select Check-In to create a new post
Upload your media
Add the visuals that bring the stay to life:
A mix of photos
Short video clips
Ambient moments, room details, food shots, the view
The more sensory and atmospheric, the better your Check-In feels.
Add your post data
Make your Check-In clear, discoverable, and compliant by filling in:
Tag the space you’re staying at
Title (e.g. “Slow Morning at Artist Residence”)
Caption (your first impressions)
Season of your stay
AD marker (e.g., gifted, press stay, collab)
Think of this as the top-level context.
Add deeper details to each piece of media
For each photo or video you can add
A caption with longer-form thoughts, storytelling or notes
Hints such as “Don’t miss the…” and “Best spot for…”
Product Links to items you’re wearing or found in the space
These extras make your Check-In feel rich, personal and more likely to convert interest to bookings.
