Ideas please? More Bookings?

Good Morning

UnderTheMagnoliaTree is my Airbnb name. I have just gone live January 12th, 2026. I have had 12 bookings (Jan-June), hosted 8 people so far(Jan - Mar 31). All reviews are 5 star reviews. It does not seem that anyone is even looking at my listing. I am looking to book more often. How can I find & copy and paste my url to other friends or family/people?

The weather is sunny & crisp. It is Mid-South Vancouver Island region ( Cowichan Valley), with huge demographic pressure, population growth is at an all time high as new residents flock internationally and from across Canada & Vancouver are looking towards both local food security and alternative food systems and organic farming with our older folks (25% soon to be over 70 and aging) this means younger farmers are essential to us. 

Looking to improve traffic. I have hosted my main house for 9 years, maintained a Superhost status for a time, then closed down that listing and did a renovation in my basement suite and got a business license, city approvals, etc.

I have my settings on Smart Pricing and check for competitive rates in my area and a minimum 3 nights and no insta-book, firm cancellation policy.  I am hoping to have fully booked for the summer months coming very soon. 

Any ideas? 

Many Thanks 

Carrie

Dear @Carrie242 

Your listing Is beautiful.

We have the following suggestions for you to maybe increase your bookings:

- pay a  professional photographer to show in your Airbnb the best way possible your listing 

- a more detailed and emotional description of your Airbnb to give a good first impact to the potential guests and all the services and amenities that you offer in your home.

- put some days a 20% Airbnb discount in some days especially in the low season to have more visibility on Airbnb reseach engine and appear in the first pages.

This are my suggestions, of course i don t know enough about your market and which type of guests you really wish to attract.

Best regards from cinque terre
