What What We Do (Digital Listing Setup)

A great property can still sit empty if the listing doesn’t convert.

We handle the full digital setup, including:

Airbnb & Stayz listing creation or refresh
Professional listing copywriting
Photo selection + ordering for higher click-through
Base pricing + minimum stay strategy
Multi-platform setup through Hostaway (optional)

You get a listing that looks polished, ranks well, and attracts the right guests.

What’s Included

1. Listing Copywriting That Converts

We write your full listing content, including:

Title + description
House rules and expectations
Check-in overview
Key amenities and guest experience highlights

Our copy is designed to:

Improve visibility in Airbnb search
Turn browsers into bookings
Reduce guest confusion and mismatch

No generic templates — every listing is positioned to suit your market.

2. Photo Sequencing & Optimisation

Guests decide in seconds.

We review your photo gallery and structure it for maximum impact:

Hero image first
Best-value spaces next (kitchen, bathroom, outdoor areas)
Supporting details that build trust
Clear captions where needed

Most guests only view the first 5–8 photos — we make those count.

3. Pricing Strategy Setup (Not Guesswork)

We research comparable listings in your suburb and set a strong starting strategy:

Base nightly rate
Weekend and seasonal adjustments
Minimum stay settings
Launch pricing recommendations

This is a setup service (not ongoing revenue management), but it gives you a smart foundation from day one.

4. Multi-Channel Setup via Hostaway (Optional)

Want to list across multiple platforms without juggling calendars?

We can connect your property through Hostaway so you have:

One synced calendar (no double bookings)
Consistent pricing across channels
Automated guest messaging
Centralised booking management

Perfect for owners who want wider exposure with less admin.
