Overview:
One of the easiest and most effective ways to boost visibility of your off-campus housing portal is by adding a prominent “Find Housing” button or link to the pages your students already visit.
📈 Schools that do this typically see a 20–30% increase in page visits to their housing portal.
✅ Where to Add the Button or Link
We recommend placing the portal on one or more of the following high-traffic pages:
Housing or Residence Life homepage
Student Life or Campus Services page
International Student Office page
Admitted/New Students resource page
Career Services or Internship Programs page
Your school’s student portal dashboard (if applicable)
🔗 What the Button or Link Should Look Like
Recommended button text:
Find Off-Campus Housing
Browse Local Housing Options
Student Housing Near [School Name]
Recommended short description (optional):
“Browse verified, fully furnished housing near campus. Flexible monthly rent. No long-term leases.”
🔨 How to Add It (optional)
Locate the page in your CMS (WordPress, Drupal, TerminalFour, Omni CMS, etc.).
Choose a visible location — above the fold or in a sidebar is ideal.
Insert the following button or link:
htmlCopyEdit<a href="https://[your-school].4stay.com" target="_blank" style="display:inline-block;padding:10px 16px;background-color:#259D79;color:#fff;text-decoration:none;border-radius:6px;font-weight:bold;">Find Housing</a>
Save and publish your changes.
