Can I advertise before receiving approval?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Whether advertising is permitted before approval depends on the applicable rules and platform requirements. More broadly, taking bookings before lawful use is resolved can create cancellation and guest-service problems. Check the process and avoid representing uncertain availability as confirmed.

Prepare photographs and draft copy privately while critical approvals are pending. A ready marketing page is not the same as an authorized operating property.
