Listing town/towns

[Cathie3]

I just listed property in fairly small town adjacent to Plymouth MA, a popular vacation site, and want to have listing come up when someone searches for places in Plymouth. 

Can that be done, and, if so, how?

Because of your proximity to Plymouth, it's happening automatically. I ran a search for Plymouth, 4 guests, entire House, 2 bdrm, 3 beds, and didn't even bother to narrow the price range. You place came up in the middle of about 12 matches.

If that helped, hit the thumbs-up button below.

I have a property that I am trying to host in a small beautiful town in Swiss Alps. It is very unlikely that tourists that are looking for a vacation spot in Swiss Alps will know the name of the town and will conduct their search using it's name. What should I do to give this property a better exposure? How can I modify the name of the place to use search engine more efficiently with better results. It is a great vacation destination but kind of "hidden jewel". I would greatly appreciate any advice.

@Natalia27 You might change your listing locale to the nearby larger town (Scuol). When I searched using that, for 6 or 8 guests, and with or without having Entire House checked, your listing came up in the first page of results.

By the way, If I searched just using the larger "Engadine" area, your place didn't come up unless I dragged its approximate location nearer the center of the map. Until then, all of the hist were to your southwest.

Thank you very much. Now, do you know how can I change a location name?

@Natalia27 To change the location, you'll have to contact AirBnB and "make a case". Here are ways to contact Airbnb.

On the other hand, as I mentioned, when I searched on Scuol, your place came up pretty readily.

By the way, I passed through nearby Nauders, Austria last year on a bike tour. Lovely area.

Thank you very much. It looks like I managed to change a location. I appreciate your comment about the area greatly. It is really magnificent place for people with all kind of interests.
