Drop off after new listing boost on AirBNB?
My partner and I just launched an AirBNB in a mountain community in the western US. We closed in early October.
we used AirDNA for our analysis of locations < 4 hrs from our place. Bookings and rates seem to mirror expected occupancy. A little higher even. So far so good.
so far we are still riding the awesome "new listing" boost on page rankings. We have acquired three 5 star reviews. So far so good.
We are also leveraging the instant book feature and smart pricing feature, although we are overriding where AirBNBs recs are stupid low.
Any experience with booking / revenue drop off once the new listing boost goes away? We want to know if we are in for a cliff, or if it's relatively straight-line assuming no poor reviews.
