555. Never Turn On These Airbnb Settings (They're Costing You Bookings)
Description
Think your bookings are down because of the algorithm, seasonality, or increased competition? The real problem might be hiding inside your Airbnb settings.
In this episode, Sarah and Annette break down the Airbnb features that could be creating friction for potential guests and limiting your visibility in search. They share three settings they recommend turning off immediately and five settings every host should review and enable to improve conversions, increase booking velocity, and create a smoother guest experience.
You'll learn why required booking messages can hurt conversion rates, the hidden downside of extra person fees, why Airbnb Smart Pricing may not be serving your revenue goals, and how tools like Instant Book and Professional Hosting Tools can help you attract more bookings.
Whether you're managing one property or a growing portfolio, this episode is a reminder that your settings aren't "set it and forget it." Small adjustments can have a significant impact on your bottom line.
