Airbnb factors (rough relative weight — the exact algorithm isn't public): booking velocity, response time, review velocity, click-through, instant-book + low cancels, photos, amenities, Superhost, profile. Vrbo differs: response <1hr for Premier Host · family-first · sleeps-count in title · longer-stay bias. Direct SEO: city + hero amenity in title · Google local pack · schema.org · zero commission. Every finding is tagged grounded (real math), estimate (heuristic range), or action — no invented totals.

🔬 Pricing Setup Audit — PriceLabs config as captured; these settings have no API, so re-capture after you change one

Seasonal, min-stay and discount settings as captured from the PriceLabs UI. These live only in that UI — there is no API for them — so this is a snapshot, not a live read. PriceLabs itself is live again as of 2026-11-12 and pushes nightly prices into Hospitable; the nightly prices below come from the channel calendar.

🌎 Market backdrop — hand-entered from AirDNA · the only thing in Ops that is not automatic

Update it (about monthly)

Ask AirDNA’s assistant for ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and active listings for Somerset/Lake Cumberland KY, Uhrichsville/Tuscarawas OH, Reynoldsburg/E Columbus OH and Panama City Beach FL — then paste the reply here. Any shape works: a table, pipes, or plain lines.

The hero-photo rule — what beats 90% of listings
Photo #1: the signature amenity that BOOKS the property (lake view · game room · pool · arcade). NOT the exterior. This is the thumbnail that decides click-through in search.
Photo #2: second-strongest amenity (pool table, media room, fire pit, deck)
Photo #3–5: main living area + kitchen showing the entertaining space
Photo #6+: bedrooms (best beds first), bathrooms, exterior views
Captions matter: each photo needs a keyword-rich caption ("Lakefront deck · sunset views · sleeps 16") — feeds Airbnb search + accessibility scoring.
Cover the amenity list: every checked amenity should have a matching photo. Guests filter by amenity → verify by photo → book.

📖 Guidebook Creator Auto-built from Hospitable · publishes to the guest guidebook your Airbnb/Vrbo guests already use

Kills InnovGuide · TouchStay · Welcora ($8-15/prop/mo each)
🎯 What ships: One click pulls each property from Hospitable and mines its real guest reviews to auto-write a full guidebook — welcome, arrival, WiFi, home manual, amenities, real local recs, house rules, checkout, emergency, FAQ. It maps every section to your live guest Knowledge Hub (what Airbnb/Vrbo guests already see in Hospitable), flags any gaps, and lets you publish straight in — never duplicating a topic, with one-tap Undo. It even pulls your real WiFi network + password from Hospitable; the per-stay door code is left as an auto-sent note (it's unique to each guest). Zero add-on cost.

iCal Manager Paste Airbnb / Vrbo / Booking / Direct URLs — unified calendar

🔗
How this works
Grab your iCal URL from each platform's Calendar Sync settings. Paste them below · they'll save to your browser AND push to the RentReel Ops calendar. Live-sync needs a Cloudflare Worker because browsers can't fetch iCal feeds directly (CORS). Setup runbook below tells you exactly what to run.
Where to find your iCal URL:
• Airbnb: Listing → Calendar → Availability → Sync calendars → "Export calendar" (long .ics URL)
• Vrbo: Property → Calendar → Import/Export → Export calendar URL
• Booking.com: Extranet → Rates & Availability → Sync calendars → Export
• Direct/Hospitable: Property → Channels → Direct → iCal Export URL

🧾 Occupancy Tax Center Monthly lodging tax — auto-computed from Hospitable · filing tracker

Live tax collected · from Hospitable
How this works: for each month, this pulls the actual tax you collected per property + jurisdiction from your Hospitable bookings (by checkout month). Mark each line "I file" or "Platform remits" once — the ones you file get the amount, a portal link, a due date, and a filed tracker. Lines Hospitable flags as remitted (e.g. "Vrbo remits") are pre-marked. Verify remittance per jurisdiction — Airbnb/Vrbo remit many state taxes but not always local ones; your Direct bookings are always yours to file. Not tax advice — confirm the taxable base with your CPA.
