GET FEATURED ON THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BOOKING PLATFORM

This is why most of my bookings come from Airbnb. I list some of my properties on other popular booking platforms too, but because Airbnb features my listings, it lets me list at higher rates and still get bookings from those who trust Superhosts.

When a Superhost lists your home, your listing will immediately also get featured by Airbnb on searches, emails and more.

In a survey done by Airbnb, 75% of short term renters have reported they do look at reviews before deciding to book. Marketing experts call it ‘social proof’, which brings to mind the old saying “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” – in this case in the 249 five star reviews that caused me to earn Superhost status 10 times in a row..

My strategy of aiming to get featured above my competition on the world’s largest booking platform and focusing on accumulating many great reviews on Airbnb has proven its worth in a short time, versus letting my reviews get dispersed among many different platforms and getting featured by none of them. I strongly recommend you to get featured even higher on Airbnb by decorating your home in the right style, giving it the character and ambiance that will get you into Airbnb Luxe or Plus (more on this later).

If you sign up with Airbnb Plus or Luxe, Airbnb won’t let you list on other booking platforms except on your own website, but I’ve seen that this results in increased bookings at much higher prices. What does NOT bring bookings is listing on a large number of booking platforms without being visible enough on any of them and getting lost among hundreds and hundreds of other competing listings.

Airbnb advertises on their Newsroom “60%+ increase in Airbnb bookings for listings worth at least $1,000/night in 2018.”

As Airbnb Luxe listings must be “homes that are destinations in themselves,” which location meets this criteria better than the Luxury communities of 30A?

Their homepage states homes that qualify must be “Expertly designed statement-making homes with exceptionally styled interiors.”

Please find a summary of their design standards here, let my experience implement their detailed 300+ standards for you to get your luxury home into the exclusive club sought by high end guests.

As Airbnb has determined that guests are willing to pay more for more peace of mind, they have instituted a quality control program to ensure that eligible accommodations are more hotel-like while still being ‘Airbnb-like.’

Please find program highlights on their homepage, which advertises a “22% increase in earnings on average the year after joining.”

You can read about their requirements on their eligible home checklist. You can see that one of their main requirements is character, ambiance and atmosphere, as the page has the heading “Thoughtfully Designed” as its first requirement. They then list the requirements:

• A style, theme, or color palette unifies each space. Each room has a variety of details that work together to create a cohesive style.
• Your space is full of character. The details in your home tell a story and inspire the people who stay in it.
• The setup of your space helps guests feel at ease. Rooms don’t feel empty or cramped, and everything visible is a design detail or useful to guests.
• Rooms in your home feel cozy and inviting. The function and layout of each room is carefully considered.
• Furniture and decor are well-crafted. Your home features pieces that elevate its look and feel.

Allow me to implement these requiremnets for you, also utilizing my experience to ensure that your home meets all other requirements listed on this page.

… in the case of high-end homes when done in conjunction with putting your home on the Airbnb Luxe or Plus programs.

What I don’t recommend is paying Airbnb alone to get featured without also being featured for free by getting listed by a Superhost and getting into Airbnb Luxe or Plus. Let better quality and ambiance do the heavy lifting of your advertising for free as you occasionally give it an additional nudge to ensure to leave your competition way behind.

Please remember that pictures are worth a thousand words. Avoid flushing money down the toilet by trying to advertise an unattractive home that does not have the right ambiance and atmosphere to attract beach lovers.
