Boost Your New and Unbooked Airbnb Listings
In case you missed our joint webinar with Airbnb on how to improve your performance we have summarized Airbnbs key recommendations in a series of blog posts.
This article explains what you can do to get your new listings up and running.
What you can do to get your first bookings quickly
New listings that get booked and reviewed in the first month appear more often in search results. There are several parameters which you can influence to make your listing attractive to guests.
You can update and review your full content directly from Beds24 to Airbnb. This includes the option to have a specific headline and content only for Airbnb.
Make sure to have minimum 10 high quality photos
Guests spend more time exploring photos than on any other part of the listing page.
- Listings with 20 or more high quality photos in general have higher conversion and occupancy.
- The first 5 photos are the most important and should highlight your home’s best feature.
