Getting more views to increase bookings

Hello! I’m new to Airbnb as a host. I’ve been advertising my listing via social media a lot lately! But I’ve been taking my host link and putting it into a bit.ly link in order to real time track clicks, but my views don’t match on bit.ly with the views on Airbnb dashboard. 

I did learn that it only counts as a view if it is sending them to a webpage and they are logged in or if the link is sending them to the app and they are logged in. 

So my question is this: Is there a way I can ensure that I can track link clicks (like bit.ly) while also ensuring it is sending them to the app vs the website version? 

here’s the link I’ve been using if it is helpful at all. 

my listing is in PR and I just opened up October 1. The first couple of bookings came in quick, although we were expecting October to be pretty dead considering hurricane season. But now….im not seeing any movement. 

Last week I just optimized all listing details for SEO and I HAVE definitely seen a jump in views from that at least…but apparently none at all from the bit.ly links (even though I do see the clicks ON bit.ly itself).

 

any help..WILL HELP!!! 

TIA! ☺️
