I've done what I can and still getting poor search results

[Justin-And-Sarah0]

Hello,

I've completed everything I can think of to get better search results but our listing is still only showing up if zoomed way in (see pic). Here is a pic showing results with the following filters:

Washer/Dryer

About our place

11 Reviews, 5.0 star rating

We host 2-3 times every year and live in our home.

We don' t have superhost status and are very close to family friendly status.

Our pricing is a bit higher than the recommended pricing but that has never stopped us getting booked.

Thanks for any tips!

It is the Airbnb algorithms who are deciding about your appearance in search results. You can find in this  community information about how the ranking system works.

Besides that you can promote your listing also outside Airbnb, please read:

Hope this helps,

@Justin-And-Sarah0  3 nights minimum, fully booked (not available) until July, higher prices and not in the strict city center (I am not familirar with your city so sorry if I am mistaken). With this setting you can't be on the first page I am affraid.

Airbnb always prefers city center, 1 night min. stay, lower prices... but if your booking rate is good then don't worry 🙂

Thanks for the tips. I turned on Instant Booking and that seemed to help a bit. Always tricky trying to strike the right balance.

peace.
