Custom domain for your guidebook

You can also have a custom domain for your guidebook.

An example of a custom domain could be: cozylodgeguide.com or guide.cozylodge.com

To set up a custom domain for your guidebook:

1. If you don't have one, purchase a domain name that you like. We suggest using services such as GoDaddy or Namecheap.
2. Once you have acquired a domain name for your guidebook, email adams@bookl.ee with a subject line "Custom domain".
3. You'll then receive instructions on how to connect your custom domain.

4. Changing the metadata of your guidebook

You can change the metadata of your guidebook.

To edit your guidebook metadata:

1. On your guidebook editor, click on "Settings".
2. Then under the "Page Metadata" section, you can edit your guidebook metadata.
3. Once you have completed your changes, click on "Update" to save the changes.

Metadata is the information your guests see once you share your guidebook link with them:

1. The title of your guidebook.
2. The preview text (description) of your guidebook.
3. The open graph (social) image of your guidebook.

5. Changing default button labels/names

You change the names of default buttons:

1. "Home" button
2. "Back" button
3. "Open in map" button
4. "Show on map" button
5. "Get directions" button

TIP: Other hosts change the default names of the buttons in case they want to completely change the language of their guidebook e.g. from English to Spanish.

To edit the names of your guidebook's default buttons:

1. On your guidebook editor, click on "Settings".
2. Then under the "Button Labels" section, you can edit the names of your default buttons.
