What Is a Keyword?

📌 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

 

If you need to adjust your keyword, reach out to your account manager by submitting a support ticket. 

We do not recommend changing keywords once links have been sent out as the urls and QR codes will no longer work. 

🔗 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
