Airbnb Listing Audit — Sydney, Melbourne & Central Coast
Why Your Property Isn't Getting Bookings
You've got a property. You've listed it. But the bookings aren't coming — or they're sporadic, low-value, or from guests you'd rather not host.The problem is rarely the property itself. It's the way it's presented, priced, or positioned. PlaceMates provides professional Airbnb listing audits across Greater Sydney, Melbourne, and the Newcastle/Central Coast region.We assess your property against what the market is actually paying for in your area, and we tell you exactly what needs to change
What's Included in a Listing Audit
-
Comprehensive property assessment We come to your property and photograph every room, every angle,every detail. We're not just looking at the furniture — we're assessing spatial layout, guest flow, lighting, presentation, and how your property compares to competitors in your suburb.
-
Market positioning analysis We research comparable listings in your area. We look at what they're charging, what they're offering, and how they're positioning themselves. Then we tell you where your property sits — and where it should sit.
-
Prioritised action plan You get a written report with specific, costed recommendations. Not vague advice like"improve the styling" — actual product links, supplier details, and estimated investment required for each recommendation.
-
Photography for your records The photos we take during the audit are yours to keep. You can use them for insurance, reference, or to track changes over time.
