How do I optimize my listing?

Hosts should optimize their listing in order to get maximum exposure to the most potential guests.

Optimizing your listing is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP after you publish:

  • Listing (Property) Title - short & precise, utilize keywords like your farm name, the words 'horse layover', and/or your city & state. (See 'Coming Soon' section below for more info. on SEO and your title)
  • Property description - give lots of details about the overall property, special amenities and things to do in your surrounding area.
  • Rental Accommodations:
    • Each horse trailer rental site must be entered individually so the guests can accurately see everything you have available during their specific travel dates. (Ex: Trailer Site 1, Trailer Site 2 etc.).
    • Housing provided by hosts must be entered as a separate rental site.
    • Enter each horse rental site individually. (Ex: Stall 1, Stall 2, Paddock A, Arena etc.)
  • Photos should be vivid, clear and accurate to show potential guests an honest representation of what they will be renting.
  • Property Rules should be updated for each listing. Click here for help.
  • Hosts must complete the Stripe account set up in order to accept reservations. More info about Stripe

TIP: OUR RESERVATION SOFTWARE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT DOUBLE BOOKING SITES. HOWEVER, IF HOSTS DO NOT ENTER EACH HUMAN AND HORSE RENTAL SITE TO THEIR LISTING INDIVIDUALLY, GUESTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOOK MULTIPLE SITES ONLINE AND HOSTS WILL HAVE HIGHER VACANCY RATE.
