Optimizing Your Airbnb Listing

Airbnb hosts usually underestimate the role of the listing and consider it as a formal step. Still, without knowing the property the only thing your potential guest can rely on while making their choice is the listing. Thus, your listing is your main tool in the guest acquisition. So, how can you improve your listing to make it more convertible?

Headings and Bullet Points

This is a simple trick, but it will help you to break the information into smaller blocks that are more comprehensible and easy to look through. Not to make unsubstantiated statements here are two examples.

Actually, this listing is not the worst example, as the most important points are capitalized here. However, the text is quite difficult to perceive. It is too long (and this is just a tiny part of the whole description) and hardly anyone will manage to read it till the end. Grasping just some pieces of information your guest may get a wrong image of your property, which can result in confusing situations.

You must admit, that this piece looks much more readable than the previous one. The information is logically divided into blocks. This allows the brain to seize it all and digest without getting overwhelmed. Still, this listing can be even more improved by using bullets in each of the sections. By the way, this tactics is not that common among Airbnb hosts. Thus, it will be easier for you to stand out.

Just another good example of how you can shape your Airbnb listing. Using the FAQ, you can arrange the information nicely and cover the most important issues.

Highlight the Amenities

Your listing is not the proper place for modesty. If there are some additional advantages you consider worth mentioning don’t hesitate to highlight them. These can be access to the full kitchen, private bathroom, free parking, Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning, fireplace, whatever. You should always highlight such things, as they can tip the scales in your favor and increase your Airbnb booking. Here is an example of how you can do it.

Reviews Matter

Airbnb is not only another way of additional earning. It is, first of all, a community where your reputation really matters and your success is measured by the feedback you get. So the more reviews you have, the better. And it doesn’t really matter whether they are good or bad. Having even three-stars rating is much better than an unrated profile. The number of reviews in the listing usually indicates its occupancy rate. Moreover, if the guest leaves feedback this means they stay at your property didn’t leave him cold. Don’t worry about the negative reviews if you have some. Of course, take them into consideration, but mind that this is just a subjective opinion. And the majority of the potential guests understand it as well.

Provide Nice Photos

Let’s face the truth, very often photos are the only thing that the guests look at, except, perhaps, for the price. It is quite clear, as visualizing gives you more information about the space than a written text in the same period of time. Thus, beautiful pictures are your main key to success. You need to optimize your photos to show your property the best way. An awkward perspective or bad lighting can spoil the whole image of your apartment. So what can you actually do?

Airbnb provides the hosts with free professional photography services. Just click here to apply. Pay attention to the captions. Don’t state just the formal “this is a living room”, “this is a kitchen”. Provide custom captions that will help the guests to imagine themselves staying at your place.

The order and the number of photos are also very important. This should be a logical walkthrough of your house. It is better to start with the most captivating photo. Keep in mind that the first photo would be also your showcase photo in search results. Try not to duplicate photos of the same room, unless they add some extra element to the whole image. And usually, 10–15 photos is enough.
