THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NUMBERS 

arrow (7)_edited.png

Jaco's short-term rental (STR) market is booming and soaring supply is causing a pricing war. Monthly revenue has dropped 22% in 3 years and will likely continue to drop with the new condo completions.

3600+

short-term rental listings in Jaco as of December 2024.

700

new active STR listings have hit the Jaco market in since October 2023.

1000+

new condo units being built in Jaco right now.

62.5%

increase in the number of active STRs in the past 3 years.

44%

average STR occupancy over the last 12 months.

CONSIDER THE FACTS:

  • Your listing is 1 of 3,600 in Jaco.
     

  • Airbnb has 18 placements on its 1st page, totaling 54 on the first 3 pages.

  • According to our research, the top 3 pages on Airbnb tend to have the most listing views. 

  • You need to consistently rank in the top 54 placements (1.5%) of all listings in Jaco to be seen by potential guests. Where do you rank?

THE GAME HAS CHANGED...

In the last 3 years, you could offer guests a great place with beautiful photos, a well-written listing, a better price than your competitors (or not), and hope for the best.

It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

You were probably 80% booked without much effort.

THAT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

To be in the top 1.5% of listings in Jaco (or in the top 54 Airbnb listing placements), you need to optimize every aspect of your Airbnb listing, like a professional athlete who dedicates their life to optimizing their body and performance.

WHAT DOES AIRBNB LISTING OPTIMIZATION LOOK LIKE?

01

LISTING PERFORMANCE

 Listing Performance Optimization focuses on the technical features that enhance your listing's search position ranking and visibility.

 

By aligning with Airbnb’s AI algorithm, we attract more clicks, drive consistent bookings, and ensure maximum earnings and sustained success year-round.

02

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Guest Experience Optimization is a powerful combination of services that elevates your listing from a simple accommodation to a world-class vacation experience.

 

From the moment guests book until they depart, we ensure unforgettable experiences that go beyond just a place to stay.

03

REVIEWS

To boost your listing’s performance, it's essential to showcase your guests' exceptional experiences.

 

Mastering the art of consistently earning 5-star reviews while minimizing the risk of lower ratings is the key to long-term success

LISTING
PERFORMANCE

quotes (1).png

What gets measured, gets improved.
- Peter Drucker

While listing performance begins with a beautiful home, the right amenities, and outstanding photos, you must focus on Search Engine Optimization to increase visibility, attract clicks and drive reservations.

Leveraging advanced AI technology, we track your listing's rank multiple times daily, providing insights into its
average search position and a range of metrics to assess the impact of even the smallest changes to your listing.

If you've ever wondered how a
new photo, title, price, month or bi-weekly Airbnb algorithm update affects your visibility, we can tell you.

MORE GUEST ENGAGEMENT

Reviews are the lifeblood of any Airbnb business and the cornerstone of Airbnb's most critical and secret internal metric—the Guest Satisfaction score.

REVIEWS

quotes (1).png

Imagine 10x 5-star reviews. That’s a perfect 5.0 rating. Now, one 3-star review drops your score to 4.81. Even one more 4-star review could cost you Superhost status and hurt your search ranking.

It could take 10+ 5-star reviews to begin recovering from just one 3 or 4-star review.

While negative feedback is inevitable, consistently earning 5 stars is critical. With your exceptional listing, and our top-tier communication, tailored experiences, expert support, and proprietary done-for-you review campaign, you’re primed to earn nothing but the best.
