Top Quick Wins
- Move your pet-friendly photo into the first 3 (High impact) — Your fenced-yard and dog-on-porch photos are currently at positions 19 and 24. Dog-friendly is your single strongest differentiator in this market — lifting one of these into the first three photos will materially improve click-through from search for guests filtering on 'pets allowed'.
- Add 'remote work' signals to your title (Medium impact) — Your description mentions 600 Mbps fiber and a dedicated workstation, but your title doesn't. A variant like 'Cedar Cottage · Hot Tub · Fast Wifi · Walk to Lake' captures the work-friendly search intent without losing the hot-tub hook.
- List 'Pool' or 'Lake access' explicitly in amenities (Medium impact) — Your description mentions the lake is five minutes away, but there's no corresponding amenity tag. Guests filter search results on 'Waterfront' and 'Lake access' — if those filters are genuinely applicable, tagging them surfaces the listing to a large additional pool of searches.
- Respond to recent reviews that mention small issues (Medium impact) — Your last 20 reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but two flag the hot tub taking a long time to heat and one mentions a flickering porch light. A short public host reply on each ('fixed the porch fixture as of Feb; replaced hot-tub heater in March') reassures future guests who read reviews carefully.
