How can I attract more bookings?

Here are a few things you can check to make sure your listing offers you the best opportunity to showcase your property and attract as many bookings as possible:

• Reviews - Encourage your Guests to write a review on the site.  This is the best way to improve your listings position in the search results.  The more 'stars' you receive, the higher your rating and position in the search results will be.
  
  
• Booking acceptance rate - If you accept 100% of the booking requests made, your rating will be much higher than a listing that only accepts 50%. Your acceptance rate shows the percentage of accepted bookings over the past 12 months. Only expired and rejected bookings will push your acceptance rate down. For more information see our help article: What is an acceptance rate? 
  
  
• Regular Digs updates - If you log in regularly and update your calendar, description, photos, pricing - this lets us know that you are keeping your listing up-to-date and will increase your rating.
   
  
• Photos -  Make sure your photos are good quality, in focus, landscape in orientation and include shots of the bed (use the bedroom photo as the first shot) and include photos of any other areas in your Digs that are available to the Guest.  A listing with one photo will appear below all other listings with more than 1 photo. 10 photos will rate higher than 1.  Also, include one of yourself under the 'Profile' section. Click to this help article: How to upload photos for more information on this. 
  
  
• Pricing - Check your prices are correct and up-to-date. Check also that they are competitive with comparable digs in your area.  See how to compare your Digs with others in this help article: How much should I charge?
   

To see where you can improve your listing further click on the 'More' button at the bottom of the page, then on the next page click on the word 'Status' to make improvements and ultimately get more bookings.
