Hi @Tegbirr0, 👋

 

Hope you had a great week, and thank you for leaving your question in the Community.
 
What I'm guessing is that you want to get more bookings or make your listing more attractive. What if you start a new conversation asking for a critique of your listing? This might attract the attention of other hosts and give you the advice that you need.👀
 
I'm going to share a couple of links that might help you. The first one I’m sharing is "How to ask for listing critique on the Community Center"
 
The second one is the link to the board where all the "Critique My Listings" conversations go.
 
Hopefully, with this, we can start getting more bookings and attracting guests. 🤗
 

Best of luck, 

Alex

You have to look at two things.  Lack of bookings to Airbnb Search means lack of traffic which then lowers where you are displayed.

Changes need to be made so if we get you higher someone does book.

Your ad

Airbnb gives you about 5 pages that you can write.  Potential Guests know this your listing has 1 brief paragraph.  You are competing against Hosts that provide information,  A Guest is going to choose what they feel is a good fit, you don't tell me if you are a good fit.

It is marketing you for 10 Guests, then it says 3 beds, Where do the other 4 sleep?

You describe luxury but then 10 people with 3 bedroom.  Contradictory to advertise luxury accommodations but over crowding of space. Use Airbnb Room Folders- to organize photos for potential guests and to populate a where you sleep on your front page.

Traffic

Turn on Airbnb Instabook this will push you higher with Airbnb Search since obviously not a last minute type of booking make your notification days minimum higher than 1 day and make a minimum stay again not a 1 night type rental  .You would probably get some generic internet searches those search engines read the Airbnb site and display listings.

Identify who is your market?  Are you close to a site a lot visit, are you a good location for a certain event and luxury lodgings that sleeps 5.  I am sure that makes you unusual for your area.

Generic Search Engines biggest thing is "Keywords".  To identify your listing as a good fit.  Sprinkle "Keywords" use your ad, create Guidebooks and utilize captions on your photos.

Turn  on Airbnb Professional Mode

It then gives you insights on your changes.  All search engines review date modified  New is better. lol  Update your listing regularly then review Insights to see reactions.  I suggest give a change a fe days before you decide good or bad.  You cam make minor changes hitting save updates date

 

 

Wow Marie!
