Why doesn't my property show up in a search by county?

My place - Caban Cariad near Cenarth, West Wales, only seems to show up in a search for my nearest village, Cenarth. Its postcode is in Pembrokeshire and it sits on the borders o Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire and is in Cardigan Bay, so all of those searches would be helpful. But if I search for cottages in those entire areas mine doesn't show up. I'm sure when I first rented a couple of years ago, it did.  Does anybody know how I can improve this? Thanks for any ideas.

@Jane357  Lovely cabin!  I enjoyed looking through the Welsh listings - I wish we had that number of lovely rural properties up here on the west coast of Scotland.

When I searched for your listing, with only one filter: Whole Home, I found it when I searched:

Cenarth, Wales number 2 on page 1

Pembrokeshire, Wales on page 3

Carmarthenshire, Wales number 7 on page 1

Ceredigion, Wales on page 17

Cardigan Bay - doesn't appear.

When I set up my listing, I found that the search results depended on the address that I had entered for my listing.  It didn't appear on some searches so I changed my address.  (For example, although I live on an island, the island name isn't part of the official postal address, but I changed the address to include the island.)  Pack as much information as possible into your address!

Thank you so much for doing that. I had some better searches later on too. I don't know why the results were different. I think it might have been because I was searching with last minute dates to begin with but not sure. I didn't realise my address was such a thing but will play around with it. You should come down to Wales! The number of lovely properties has grown massively in the last year or two but it's still very peaceful. Mind you, you have plenty of peace in your lovely neck of the woods. Thank again for your help.
