Hi Shelley59, thank you for your response. I really appreciate you taking the time to weigh in.
Just to clarify—this isn’t a question of ranking low, it's a question of not being visible at all in standard guest searches.
I’ve done multiple incognito searches using accurate availability, guest count (8), and typical search behavior, and my listing doesn’t show up on any of the 15+ pages of results—unless I zoom in to nearly the exact address.
That’s not a matter of rank—that’s a visibility issue. The listing essentially disappears from the browsing experience unless a guest takes very specific actions most don’t use.
I’ve also confirmed that this is not an isolated case—18 other Superhosts in different regions are seeing the same thing. High-rated, well-performing listings with strong booking history are now buried or hidden entirely without extreme zoom or filters.
I’ve optimized everything within my control—response time, pricing, photos, guest experience, etc.—and nothing explains the sudden disappearance. That’s why I’ve been raising this as a deeper concern, not a normal algorithm adjustment.
Thanks again for engaging—conversations like this are what make the host community valuable.
Warmly,
Mrs. Belvedere
