Did you know that your Airbnb listing title can have a huge impact on your profitability?

That’s because your listing title is one of the very few things you have control over that shows up in Airbnb search results. If your Airbnb listing title doesn’t immediately hook potential guests in and make them want to learn more about your property, then you’re probably NOT getting as many bookings as you should be.

By the end of this post, you’ll know how to craft a perfect, highly bookable Airbnb listing title.

Why you need to optimize your Airbnb listing title

Before we jump into how to craft a killer Airbnb listing title, you need to know why a high-converting title is crucial to your Airbnb’s success.

Here’s the thing–a listing title that hasn’t been optimized for Airbnb’s algorithm won’t show up high enough in search results for the vast majority of potential guests to ever even see your listing. Of those that do, it won’t compel them to excitedly click into your listing to learn more.

Instead, potential guests will keep scrolling until they find another listing they’re more excited about (and you’ll never hit that revenue goal that got you so excited to start your Airbnb in the first place).

All that’s to say, to increase your revenue, your listing title needs to be optimized for both the algorithm AND your potential guests (that said, your title is just one key element to creating a high-converting Airbnb listing).

3 k ey elements of a high-converting Airbnb listing title

Now, if you want to skip ahead and jump straight to getting your hands on the 100 high-converting Airbnb listing titles I created just for you–go right ahead!

But, it’s crucial that you know WHY those listing titles are great listing titles.

To understand that, let’s look at an example of a bad listing title (and one that I see all too often on new Airbnb listings):

“Whimsical & Woodsy: 3BR Home With Hot Tub”

While this Airbnb listing title isn’t terrible, there’s a lot of room for improvement. Here are 3 things that this listing title is close to nailing but just barely misses the mark on:

1. It starts with 2-3 words, “Whimsical & Woodsy”, that are fairly compelling (but not compelling enough).

The first 2-3 words of your listing title are absolutely crucial because if those words aren’t interesting enough to your potential Airbnb guests, they might not read the rest!

Your potential guests have TONS of options in their Airbnb search results. If you want them to even consider your Airbnb for their trip, your listing has to immediately catch their attention and make them want to learn more. And while “whimsical & woodsy” is more interesting than “3BR home”, it doesn’t tell your guests enough about what they’ll get when staying with you.

Potential Airbnb guests seeing those words very briefly for the first time ever are probably thinking to themselves, “What does that even mean?” but as a host, you want anyone looking at your listing title to think, “WOW that sounds perfect for me!”.

Which brings me to my next point…

2. The next two words, “3BR Home”, are even more lackluster.

One issue with stating property facts like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, or max occupancy in your Airbnb listing title is that it’s BORING!

Airbnb only allows a small number of characters in your listing title (50 to be exact); the last thing you should be doing is wasting those precious characters on words that are going to bore your potential guests and make them keep scrolling. It’s just not worth taking up your very limited character count with words that don’t make your potential guests ecstatic to learn more about your Airbnb.

Another issue is that potential guests can find this info elsewhere in their search results and on your listing. PLUS, they likely filtered for this basic information during their search, so they already know they’re looking at Airbnbs that meet those requirements.

For all those reasons, you should skip basic home information like “3BR Home” unless this info is particularly unique or compelling in some way.

3. Similarly, the last part of this Airbnb listing title, “With Hot Tub”, is close to being great but misses the mark.

When crafting a super compelling listing title, it’s helpful to include 1-3 key attributes of your property that your target guest is looking for. Sure, a hot tub might be one of those things but is it the most compelling thing? Probably not.

The key features of your Airbnb vary a ton depending on your target guest and the location of your property, but whatever you choose, both the amenity itself needs to be super compelling AND the way you describe it–“With Hot Tub” just misses the mark on both.
