Create a social media account for your space

The first step is creating a page for your space and finding a catchy name for it. Find a name inspiration from the property. Is your space a beachfront or chalet property? Does it have a rustic spin or a modern touch? You could also consider adding the location to make it unique. The advantage of creating a social media page for your space is that guests can tag it when they post photos on social media. Ensure you also add a link to your profile that directs potential guests to book the space.

Choose the right social media platforms

In addition, work with an Airbnb cleaning company that will leave your rental looking spotless.

Add light

Be friendly

Some people will just ignore comments from strangers asking where they are staying. Being nice by adding those thoughtful touches goes a long way in incentivizing guests to tag you on social media pages. For instance, you can leave a few basics in the kitchen, such as milk, coffee, bread, and cookies. That way, when guests are posting photos, they can add some descriptions like how nice you were and ensured they were comfortable.
