How to Improve Your Listings’ Search Rank in Airbnb Categories

Airbnb just released the biggest change to Airbnb categories in a decade.

They completely changed the search on Airbnb, leaving everyone wondering how it will affect their listing and if it will still show up.

Kelvin Mah is the founder of Rankbreeze and an Airbnb SEO specialist. Rankbreeze is a listing optimization software that helps you optimize your listings to make sure you show up in the Airbnb search results.

On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Kelvin joins me to explain how Airbnb has transitioned from a destination-focused search to an experience-focused search and what he believes prompted this change.

Listen in as we walk through how you can use additional information in all the areas Airbnb allows to come up in more searches.

Kelvin says, "One of the rules around ranking on Airbnb is fighting the filter because everything a guest does is essentially filtering."

Kelvin shares his insight on how to zoom in and supercharge your listing to get more clicks for MORE BOOKINGS.
