It has been posted here frequently that updating your calendar regularly makes a property go up search results. But what constitutes a calendar update? Changing rates? Blocking and unblocking dates? I update my rates twice a week both for the purpose of them being relevant (I lower them little by little as days remain unhooked starting about a month out) and to keep the calendar updated for the search results. Is that sufficient or should I also block random days and unblock them? I saw several people posting about doing that.
I am not convinced such updates affects the ranking (where is the evidence ?). And if so: when everybody will do this "tricks", we all just end up in some kind of carousel. Promoting a listing outside Airbnb is much more effective. Do not rely on Airbnb search only.

@Inna22 At one point I tried those things like "updating" my calendar, tweaking wording in my listing, etc, but I couldn't see that it made one bit of difference in my search ranking.
The minute you lower your rate, even if by 1
$1-2, your listing will be boosted with the tag “ new lower rate”.
Switch up your rates regularly.
Also, when guests “heart” your listing, over time, that works as well.
Update your listing regularly; whether it’s pricing or pics.
Refresh your pics-during holidays, I decorate-great opportunity to update your photos.
Start or add to/beef up your guest guide.
All of the suggestions above are proven techniques.
