How to Airbnb: Name Your Listing

Your listing title is the most important aspect of your listing. Let’s go over some Do’s and Don’ts

The Do’s

1. Utilize as much listing space as Airbnb Provides and currently, they provide 50 characters. This is where you can come up with a memorable or clever title.
2. Sum up the best feature of your home in one sentence. Notice: As you can see that I listed the fact that my apartment is steps from downtown. This is a major plus for some folks that do not have a car but still want to experience downtown area.
3. Mention if your home is near any major attractions. Is it near Disneyland? What about its proximity to downtown?
4. Undersell and over deliver.

The Don’ts

1. Please do not use funky special characters like @#$%. This will only make your listing less professional.
2. Do not capitalize all of your characters. However, you can use caps to highlight a word.
3. Do not oversell and under deliver.

Here is an example of my own listing:

my listing’s name is pretty generic, but it gets booked! I added clean to my listing because it was one of the most common adjectives in my reviews.

Pro-tip: noticed at the bottom that I wrote out “If this listing is booked, please check out my other unit?” This is a very easy thing to do and it’ll help boost your listings if you have more than one. 🙂

Ultra-tip: if you live near a convention center, for example, Las Vegas has an annual convention called CES and if your listing is near the convention where thousands of people fly in from all over the country, then you can quickly change your listing to reflect that.

I can guarantee that you will get booked out!

Last Words

There you have it. If you follow the do’s and don’ts then I can guarantee you that you’ll rank higher and get more bookings than your competitors. In part three, I’ll talk about optimizing your calendar settings and pricing strategies.
