How can I improve my position in the search results?

Some key factors that determine your listing’s position in the search results are:

• Keeping a high Acceptance and Response rate
• Having an updated calendar and accurate rates
• Making sure that the photos on your listing are high quality

Here’s how to keep your listing up to date and improve your position in the search results:

• Ask your guests to review your property. Travelers show a strong preference for listings with more reviews.
