I did a search for the area and I can’t seem to find your listing either. It could be affected by the following:
1) Do you have instant book on? Properties with IB show up higher in a search.
2) Do you have your calendar open for at least 6 months? Calendars that are opened further show up higher in searches.
3) Do you have a lot of blocked off dates? The less blocked off dates the higher you will show up.
4) Are your cleaning fees quite high? There are some articles on high cleaning fees having a negative impact on search rankings. Some people just factor in cleaning to the nightly price. Some decrease the cleaning fee and notice their listing shows up higher.
5) Do you have a minimum night stay? This will also alter search visibility if you have a high minimum requirement.
6) Do you have a very strict cancellation policy? Hosts with flexible or moderate tend to show up higher on rankings (according to some threads here).
7) Do you have promotions? These help to be ranked higher in searches, but being new you should be in the first couple of pages as the algorithm does tend to boost new listings initially. I believe the new listings have a 20% off the first three bookings or the first month whichever comes first (make sure you check on this).
If you tried all that, call the support line to have a customer rep to help see if there is a reason why your listing is not showing up. The area seems to have a lot of options so be sure your pricing, amenities, and description is key to highlight your listing on how it is unique to others.
It is best to get a lot of bookings initially so you can have positive reviews and address any issues that you may not have thought of to make your place more comfortable. When we started in 6/2023 we did run specials and don’t have a minimum night stay as to have the most guests to host and to get some feedback and positive reviews. After 2 months I got tired of cleaning frequently and increased my minimum to 2 nights.
Good luck and hope this helps!
