Otamiser, the company behind the world’s first OTA (online travel agency) ranking management platform, has announced its entry into the short-term rental market with the launch of AutoRank, a groundbreaking tool aimed at boosting visibility for property managers on platforms like Airbnb.
With the rise of Airbnb and the increasingly competitive landscape, property managers often struggle to secure bookings if their listings don’t appear high in search results. AutoRank aims to solve this problem by ensuring that listings remain relevant, competitive, and highly visible-all without the need for manual effort.
Using advanced AI technology, AutoRank analyses Airbnb search trends and guest behaviour to refresh property listings every 48 hours, ensuring the most up-to-date, keyword-optimised content. This includes dynamic, SEO-friendly descriptions that highlight each property’s unique features, amenities, and nearby attractions based on current search trends. The system also adapts to seasonal changes, local events, and shifting traveller preferences, keeping listings aligned with what guests are looking for at any given moment.
Bart-Jan Leyts, Founder and CEO of Otamiser, explained the significance of AutoRank: “In a marketplace as competitive as Airbnb, where visibility directly dictates success, staying ahead of the positioning game is absolutely crucial. What makes AutoRank so groundbreaking is its ability to adapt in real-time to Airbnb’s constantly evolving algorithms and guest preferences. It’s like having an expert marketer working behind the scenes 24/7.”
AutoRank not only helps listings appear at the top of search results during peak booking windows but also allows property managers to increase their average daily rates (ADRs) without losing visibility. By combining ranking and revenue management, Otamiser aims to help property owners maximise their bookings and profits.
Initial tests have shown that AutoRank can also improve guest satisfaction, with the enhanced content helping to meet guest expectations more effectively. Through AutoRank’s intuitive dashboard, property managers gain access to critical insights into guest preferences, allowing them to refine their offerings and stay ahead of market trends. This data-driven approach empowers hosts to make informed decisions that drive sustained growth and success in a highly competitive market.
Thomas Feldhusen, Product Manager at Otamiser, praised the innovative solution, stating: “AutoRank isn’t just a clever tool, it’s a complete rethink of how property managers can thrive in a competitive marketplace like Airbnb. It’s rare to see a product that balances advanced AI with practical, real-world application, and I’ve been blown away by the results we’re already seeing.”
With AutoRank, Otamiser is bringing a new level of visibility management to the short-term rental industry, offering hosts a powerful solution to turn rankings into bookings and higher revenues.
