Airbnb operates as an interest-based algorithm, rewarding listings that grab attention and keep potential guests clicking.

Yeah, they have algorithms and search tools that scan your messages.

My initial reaction was "hell no".Algorithms are usually poor estimators of actual value.  

Price Labs like anything else uses an algorithm to decide on the best price.

I’d approach this like an SEO challenge (I use this strategy to get nearly 100% occupancy in San Diego (in winter) Airbnb’s algorithm is designed to maximize their revenue, which means they prioritize listings that perform well.

The competition is fierce, so simply rearranging photos, swapping some in and out tells the algorithm that you're an "active" host and you'll be more visible on the platforms. 

Zillow’s estimates rely on automated algorithms that often fail to account for property condition, specific neighborhood trends, and real-time market shifts.

Instead, they’re relying heavily on algorithms to make underwriting and valuation decisions.

They've gone as far as writing algorithms that pull data points like crime rates, age, median income, number of coffee shops and hundreds of others to create heat maps of where to buy.  

If you can drive up the number of reviews (hopefully all positive) then you can also probably get a bump in the algorithms.
