New to Airbnb

[Brenda1727]

I've had my listing for over a month now and have not had any bookings. When I looked my listing up it is on the 5th page so its not visible .. how can I be seen? Any suggestions are welcome 🙂

I would say use some type of pricing service, and also use AirBnB to offer discounts to the first people to book. 

Overall, use a second airbnb account and search for the same bed / bath / guest / amount that your listing has and see how it is prices vs the competition. Usually, the cheaper ones show up first. So if you are 5 pages back, my guess it is priced higher.

What I do is use a non hosting account to look at different days / weeks / or month at a time and search for my listing and completion. I do mine per month, and offer a different discount each month to be competitive.

@Michael6258 We are in a country setting so there is only one other person that does this about 6 miles down the road from me. I have looked to view their pricing and they are higher but they are also larger and accommodate a larger number of people. Thank you for the response, its is appreciated !

Hi @Brenda1727 

Your listing shows the area to be Rio Medina, and as you say it doesn't seem to rank well using that search term. If you're in a country setting, what will guests likely use to search for you, Rio Medina or another term?

If the likely search term is Rio Medina, I agree with @Michael6258 that you'll have to price competitively for Rio Medina as a whole.
