The last post I saw about this was from 2018 when RWG was just for experiences. They're now offering rentals the ability to set up booking (specifically through Checkfront and Viator linked with TripAdvisor) and I'm wondering whether there are any plans to become one of the many partners? 90% of our direct bookings generate from our Google My Business page but right now most of those call us, which is a bit of a pain. It would be great for them to be able to inquire directly linked to OR vs paying for another booking service that does link with Google.
