FAQs


Q: How often is the Rankings Breakdown data updated?

A: The data is updated daily. Check frequently for the most current data.


Q: What does a ranking of "320+/320" mean?

A: This indicates that your property did not appear in the search results within the visible pages, suggesting a need for optimization.


Q: What is the Average Length of Stay Setting?    

A: This setting helps divide your calendar into date ranges. If you have the next 30 days available & your Average Length of Stay is set to 4 nights, we will display your rankings by 4 nights or less. Changes to settings take 24 hrs. to adapt. Read our article “Choosing Your 'Average Length of Stay' Setting” for more information. 


Q: What should I set as my Average length of Stay Setting (ALoS)?    

A: You should set it to average length of your guests' stay. i.e. if guests typically stay at your listing for 3 nights, you should set it to 3 nights. Please note that it needs to be higher than your highest minimum night stay setting.


Q: I checked on Airbnb and found my listing in a different position. Why?    

A: A lot of activity is happening on Airbnb; new listings are added some are being removed, bookings are being confirmed and cancellations are made. These activities in addition to others can cause rankings to bounce around. We provide a time stamp to let you know when we last collected the data.

A: We use the location specified in the Property Search Rankings Chart

 

Q: Can I change the location?    

A: Yes. To change your listings search location, please reach out to us on support@rankbreeze.com with the name of the location you want and the listing(s) you want changed.


Q: Why are my rankings bouncing around a lot?    

A: A lot of activity is happening on Airbnb; new listings are added some are being removed, bookings are being confirmed and cancellations are made. These activities in addition to others can cause rankings to bounce around. Pay attention to your trend. Make sure your highs are getting higher and you lows are also getting higher in the rankings charts.


Q: I've made a lot of changes, but they are not making any difference. What should I do?    

If changes to your property listing aren't yielding results, review and ensure all modifications were applied correctly and give them time to take effect. Utilize the Rankbreeze A/B testing tool to evaluate effectiveness, and consider seeking feedback from guests or consulting with property management experts. Adjust your strategies based on seasonal trends and ongoing data analysis to better align with market demands.
