How to make property more discoverable - any tips?

[Robbie54]

I've always wondered how to make my listing appear on the first 2 or 3 pages without narrowing down the search filter. A quick Google told me that popularity, price, frequently updated title etc etc all helps.

However even though I update the listing, have a high rate of bookings with a competitive price, my property always seem be down the listings, with properties more expensive and a with fewer rating and reviews on the first pages.

I'm starting to think it's totally random, can anyone enlighten me? It took a while to find my property when I done a search this morning, its worrying.

@Richard531You guys offer a lot for the price and you been quite busy for months. Perhaps making your place even more profitable may serve you well, maybe shoot for $99 per night and every time you go up in price add a few cool features or upgrade one. You have as lot of room for growth, that backyard alone is screaming for some lawn games maybe? Again, nice place no wonder people like it.

Hi everyone

While we’ve had some great constructive replies to this post, I’ve had to remove some responses, as they were rather personal, which as you all know is against our Community Guidelines (you can find them here).

It’s really important that we’re all respectful of each other and ensure that everyone feels welcome.

If you’ve got any questions please drop me a line.

Thank you!

@Jenny but leaving in the rather rude initial post by Richard is ok? He basically insulted me by what he wrote in saying some things about my property, that I personally put together, are awful. The things that were said after his post is a result of his post... that is still visible.

Hi @Robbie54 

Thanks for your feedback.  

I had another read through that post, and while I think the majority of his suggestions are intended to be helpful, there are some statements which are quite personal and I've therefore removed those from the post as I feel that the post itself contains some valuable information.

Thanks for tagging me so I could double check.

@Robbie54 I suspect Richard was trying to help. We have found that the best way to get on the first page of the search listings is to be successful in getting bookings. Its a catch 22 situation but success does seem to breed success.
