NEW STR coming to market algorithm optimization

[Meghan Dreher]

We have a new STR coming to market. What can we do in the first month or two to help optimize our ranking with the algorithm in booking platforms? It is coming to market in our off season, should we wait closer to our peak season to release it so that we have the best chance for the most bookings in a short time frame? Any advice is appreciated.

Any advice for older listings that dont do well in displaying in the top of local property searches.  We have a small cabin that has lots of reviews that ranks high, but we have some larger homes that are more expensive and dont book as consistently as our small cabin.  Is there something we can do to boost where they show up in searches?
