Those couple hours of research will save you hundreds of hours of time down the line, so it's well worth the effort.

We’ve done this exercise for ads in our market and the search volume is negligible Share a screenshot of your GA for us if you don’t mind showing your seo traffic and conversions According to Google the volume of the below search terms which your site ranks for is negligible so very very curious how much seo traffic you are getting and if you have your goal conversions setup which I’m sure you do it’ll show the conversions from this traffic source  Your screeenshots of form conversions mean nothing to me.

Setting up direct bookings is a great way to save on fees, but you’re right—it requires extra effort to ensure everything runs smoothly.For vetting guests, start by asking a few questions when they inquire, like the purpose of their stay, how many people will be there, and if they’ve stayed in short-term rentals before.

Most importantly is the information that is fed into the tool (along, of course with accurate calculations).I analyzed so many deals that myself or my partners were not inclined to pursue, I felt the time/effort shouldn't go to waste.
