Are my settings or my listing keeping my listing from showing up?!

When I log into abb as a traveler and inquire about options for stay in the town my listing is located, or other towns nearby, my listing does not show up! Why is that?

Hi there @RaNae3,

I would like to ask two of our most experienced hosts, @Lorna170 and @Nur785, if they would like to share some insights on why this might be happening.

Thanks so much for your help, and bringing some other experiences hosts in to help. I so appreciate you all.

@RaNae3 A couple of reasons that I can think of Rae. One is that listings appear to reflect five day stay availability not any other availability. Therefore if five days are not available then you do not show up . Sometimes you may find that you are not on the gps map either . If you have too many requirements also you may not show up , this seems to be counter productive on Airbnbs side but they are using filters of different types to allow people to search and dropping some listings off , as far as I can tell . The filters will also prevent your ' views ' which will drop you out of the listings even though you are a good host.I would put through another call to Airbnb as its impossible for us to say why really...

Thank-you for your comments and suggestions, interesting how things operate on the 5 night availability. I will look into that.

Hi @RaNae3 I think @Helen744 is right, it has something to do with your availability. When I did a search in Milo, ME for 6 people with a 7 night minimum (I did this in a private window to hide the cookies so I wouldn't get your listing), your listing was the first one that showed. 

I also searched for a flexible week in November and yours came up. See attached screen shots. 

Maybe try a 3 night minimum so you can get some weekenders for your first reviews? 

It's a beautiful place. I am sure you'll be booked in no time.

Thank-you so much for the input, it is nice to know that it is showing up. I appreciate your help. 🙂
