Listing optimisation
Listing optimisation is the systematic improvement of a property's public listing — photography, title, description, amenity data, house rules and settings — to increase both how often it appears in platform search and how often viewers book it.
Why Listing optimisation matters for your revenue
Traffic and conversion are separate problems with separate fixes, and a listing can fail at either. Optimisation raises revenue without changing the property itself, which makes it the lowest-cost lever available.

- Search rankingSearch ranking is where a listing appears in a booking platform's results for a given set of guest filters. Platforms rank on a mix of relevance, price competitiveness, reviews, response behaviour, cancellation history and recent booking performance.
- Conversion rateConversion rate is the share of listing views that become bookings over a period. It measures how persuasive the listing is once a guest has found it, independent of how much traffic the platform sends.
- Review scoreReview score is the average guest rating a listing carries on a platform, usually made up of sub-scores for cleanliness, accuracy, communication, check-in, location and value. Platforms weight recent reviews more heavily than old ones.
- OTAAn Online Travel Agency is a third-party platform that markets accommodation and takes bookings on the host's behalf in exchange for commission. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia are the largest in the short-term rental category.
