Hi @Rachel2515 ! Welcome!
Sometimes it takes up to 48 hours for a listing to appear in searches. Below is the URL for your listing:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/939938929373726960?source_impression_id=p3_1689892828_foDYDRjau3adLNYl
Your listing is missing quite a bit of important information and protections for you as a host. I would use this time to update/add all this information before guests can book. I would turn OFF instant book until you can get everything updated so someone doesn't book before you add all the additional information:
CAUTION!

Airbnb automatically defaults some of your settings after you publish. You may wish to change these settings before accepting guests. Some defaulted settings include:
- Instant Book is ON – (you may not want this)
- Calendar open 12 months – (I would change this)
I suggest as soon as you hit "publish", immediately go to your Calendar Availability and select "unavailable by default". This blocks your calendar to prevent guests from booking until you have a chance to edit your listing and add important information. After you are satisfied with your listing, you can change your calendar availability and open up dates for bookings. I would suggest a new host should not have instant book on at first. This allows you to screen guests before accepting reservations and get comfortable with the process.
Wishing you much success!
