🔑 What Is a Keyword in ClickBid?

📌 What Is a Keyword?

In ClickBid, a keyword is a short, custom identifier that serves as the foundation for two important features:

1. 🌐 Your Event Page URL

2. 📲 Your Text-to-Give word

🔗 How Keywords Are Used

1. Event Page URL

Your keyword becomes part of your public event link:

• Format: https://[keyword].cbo.io

• Example: If your keyword is sef, your landing page URL is:
  https://sef.cbo.io

📌 Info: You can find your URL under Important Links on your Home Page.

2. Text-to-Give Word

Your keyword is also used for Text-to-Give donations or registrations. Guests can text your keyword to: 855-800-4975

Example message:

“Text sef to 855-800-4975 to donate or register!”

💡 Tip: Make sure to promote this phrase on event signage, screens, and printed materials.

✏️ Choosing the Right Keyword

Pick something that’s:

• Short and easy to remember

• Simple to type (especially on mobile devices)

• Related to your event or organization

Example:

• Organization Name: Sample Event Foundation

• Suggested Keyword: sef

🛑 Avoid long keywords like sampleeventfoundation—they’re hard to text and easy to mistype.

💡 Tip: Use abbreviations, acronyms, or even themes like hope24, runforacause, or sfauction.

✅ Final Takeaways

• Your keyword powers your URL and Text-to-Give tools

• Keep it short, relevant, and easy to share

• You can view and test your keyword anytime on your ClickBid Home Page
