AIRBNB SEO FORMULA
Proven SEO Strategies To Skyrocket Online Bookings fast
New live listings on Airbnb get a boost, which means you’re presented at the top of search results and seen by more potential guests. Great! But it’s not permanent. Once this initial boost passes and Airbnb has piqued your interest, you’re left to do the hard work of getting back to number one yourself. Let the competition begin.
HelloGuest started with Veronica and me (Toby) as hosts on Airbnb ourselves. After our initial boost, we were frustrated by a lack of bookings. But over the years, we’ve made all the mistakes and learned the right way to earn Superhost status, sit at the top of the rankings, and earn a consistent, substantial income.
So much so, we now do it for hundreds of properties around the UK. View our locations.
Airbnb SEO – What Even Is It?
The Airbnb search engine is set on pre-defined rules that identify each event on your listing, either positive or negative. See case studies.
The surefire way to be at the top of Airbnb is to be guest-focused, no matter how hard it might make life as a host.
Therefore, Airbnb will monitor how people react to your listing and mark you on KPIs like click-through rate, conversion rate, bounce rate, exit event, booking time, popularity, and more.

Our first step when taking over your property is to ensure that your listing appears on relevant Airbnb searches. The answer is simple: excellent customer service and regularly updated listings make for top-appearing properties.

Increase The Airbnb Conversion Funnel
We know exactly how to boost your listing, get a guest’s attention and convert them into a booking.
We need to tweak and ensure your availability is just right for a potential guest’s criteria to maximise your bookings.
Guests may also search with filters or a particular measure, so we must show off what’s available and where you’re based.
We have the data behind us to tell us what guests are looking for and the extras they love, so we make sure that we tick all the boxes and supply all the right amenities.
Airbnb Tips For The Meantime For Hosts Not Ready For A Management Company
The age of your listing also works to gain Airbnb’s trust. With each successful checkout, you’ll become increasingly credible.
And whilst you can do nothing to make your listing age faster and gain authority, you can offer shorter bookings to speed up the process.
Here are some of the things we might include in our service after our agreement with you, but they are easy things you can do yourself in the meantime to work the algorithm:
- Beat the competition with lower prices or no cleaning fees. See pricing strategies.
- Offer essential amenities like free parking, WiFi, TV, BBQ, etc.
- Get good guest reviews and provide essentials like towels, soap, pillows etc.
- Provide home safety amenities like fire extinguishers.
- Ease your Airbnb cancellations policy to be flexible.
- Avoid any cancellations or bad reviews.
- Keep your response time low and achieve a high approval rate.
Getting The Pricing Just Right
Your Airbnb listing will need constant and consistent work, including pricing optimisation to attract the right guests at the right time.
Airbnb encourages hosts to make it more affordable for guests with limited budgets and expects you to change nightly prices, which will be rewarded with higher search rankings.
We recommend starting with a 20% lower fee than other properties offering the same amenities in your area. Once bookings start coming in and five-star reviews start coming in, you can increase the pricing.
- Expert tip: Turn off Airbnb smart pricing.
