Algorithm: Better to get listing going sooner w/self-photos, or wait for pro photos?

[Robert Schwenkler]

Hey gang, first post here.

I'm helping my parents STR a ranch house that we're just finishing up renovating. They've put a lot of money into it and are anxious to get cash flow going.

We'll be ready to start taking on guests in about 2 weeks.

My main question is this: Will how our launch goes now now have a big impact on how the algorithm delivers our property in the future?

If we continue to make improvements to the listing over the next few weeks should we be able to get good traction with them, or is it really important to start off with as big of a bang as possible?

Here's what we've got so far: https://drive.google.com/open?...

The photos I've got so far are definitely serviceable in my book. I DON'T think we've got a great cover photo though, so I'm going to work to get that today or tomorrow.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!!
