 Top 10 Ranking Factors

1. Booking conversion rate – Visitors who view and book your listing. Fix weak spots in photos, headlines, and descriptions.

2. Click-through rate – Make your hero photo + headline irresistible (but accurate).

3. Competitive pricing – Dynamic pricing is essential; Hospitable’s built-in tool is included on Host, Professional, and Mogul plans.

4. Guest reviews & ratings – Race to 10 reviews for new listings; send well-timed review requests.

5. Instant Book – Ranking boost if enabled (with filters for experienced guests).

6. Response rate & speed – Use Hospitable’s Knowledge Hub + AI replies to answer faster.

7. Acceptance & cancellation rate – Accept requests quickly; avoid host-initiated cancellations.

8. Listing content quality – Clear, scannable descriptions + updated amenities list.

9. Calendar availability – Rule sets can unlock orphan nights and improve visibility.

10. New listing boost – First 2–3 weeks are critical; maximize exposure early.

Practical Tips & Advice

• Complete your host profile—fun facts and personal details increase trust and bookings.

• Include photo captions—tell guests what they’re seeing and how it feels to be there.

• Use seasonal photos if your property’s appeal changes with the weather.

• Ask for private feedback in review requests to improve without harming public ratings.

• Revisit pricing rules to capture valuable single-night stays without discounting weekends.
