How to increase VRBO rankings
Hey all, we get 95% of our bookings from Airbnb but our VRBO bookings seem to have fallen off of a cliff. We rank well on Airbnb, how do we increase our ranking on VRBO? Are there any tips, blogs or videos to share?
We're also pursuing direct bookings, I'd just like to boost the VRBO rankings also...

Vrbo has had some major problems lately. Many hosts have found their descriptions messed up - the property description turned into one run-on paragraph that made it almost unreadable, text inserted saying the community has a water park when it doesn't, weird things like that. It happened to me and many others. So I recommend you look at your listing in incognito mode. Make sure it's showing up, and as you listed it.
Vrbo will give your listing preference if you update it frequently, meaning at least weekly. Change the title, change a few sentences in the description, change the caption on photos, or add new photos, etc. It doesn't have to be major, but frequent tweaks will help.
