PROFIT

We’ve only had two bookings in the last four months. (A little embarrassed to say that.) How do we get more traffic?

Hello @John-And-Susie0 

You have a lovely place!  It says on your listing that you have two bedrooms but in the "Where you'll sleep" section there is only 1 bedroom showing containing a king, two single beds and a sofa bed.  This doesn't seem right?  You need to create a second bedroom with the appropriate bed setup I think so that guests can see at a glance what your place has to offer.

Some of the photos in your photo gallery are blurred so maybe you could retake those?  

Bookings are really slow for most of us right now so it's a good time to check our prices in comparison to our competitors, make sure our photos are top notch, same for the descriptions of our listings.  Check our house rules again for anything to add etc

Fingers crossed that things pick up,

Joëlle

@John-And-Susie0 , I agree with @Joelle43 , and also wanted to add that one bathroom for six people might be the problem too. I know when I travel with another couple or more than 3 people, I prefer to have two bathrooms. One bathroom might work for 6 people if they are a family but if it’s extended family and or friends, 2 bathrooms is a must (at least for me).

@John-And-Susie0 there are lots of very detailed posts here on the subject, please search the discussions and read. They give very specific instructions (changing pictures on a certain schedule, number of words to use in the description, etc). Good luck!
