Make your listing more competitive

Go beyond a basic listing and make it irresistible!

Complete each section

Get guests excited about your space with all the awesome details.

  • Go all in on the description: Make your title and description fun, detailed, and informative. Explain the amenities, shared spaces, and what makes your space unique.
  • Upload high-quality photos: Your photos are a guest’s first impression of your space on the search results page. Get tips on taking great photos.
  • Keep your listing up-to-date: Make sure everything is accurate and set expectations in house rules and the guest manual.

Use reviews to improve

When you improve the experience for your guests, you’ll get better reviews and star ratings—which will make your listing even more appealing.

Make booking easier

Responding quickly to inquiries and trip requests shows guests that you are an attentive, welcoming Host. And the ultimate convenience is to offer Instant Book, so guests can book immediately and confidently.

Be competitive with prices

Setting your price to reflect changing demand means it will fluctuate throughout the week and the year. Try custom pricing to help your listing stay competitive.

Get tips for the off-season

Off-season can still be a busy season if you attract guests all year-round. Try seasonal pricing to help your listing stay competitive or meetup with other Hosts in your area to trade tips about how to stand out during slow months.
