VRBO - Search impressions rarely ever move

I'm a new host who started hosting about two months ago, and I recently listed my property on both Airbnb and VRBO, approximately a month ago. During this time, I've had 1 booking on VRBO and 3 on Airbnb. The VRBO guest left a 5-star rating, and on Airbnb, I have one 5-star rating with another on the way.

However, I've noticed something that has raised some concerns, and I'm not sure if it's specific to VRBO or related to my listing. While I'm aware that Airbnb tends to boost new listings, I'm uncertain about how VRBO works in this regard. Here's the issue: Airbnb is showing 14.3k search impressions between December 13th and today, whereas VRBO only shows 232 in the last 30 days.

Is this level of search visibility normal, even for new listings, on VRBO, or could there be something potentially wrong with my listing on the platform?
