Marketing Mondays: Why You Need a Website for Your Airbnb — Even if You Don’t Have a Direct Booking Site.

Monday Feb 13, 2023

Welcome to Marketing Mondays — a new, weekly segment on the Behind the Stays podcast that covers specific marketing strategies and tactics that Airbnb hosts and hospitality entrepreneurs can immediately use to promote their stays.

On this second episode of this new Behind the Stays segment, Zach covers:

Why you should build a website for your Airbnb even if you don't have a direct booking site
How to start ranking
The CMSes that Airbnb hosts should consider building their websites on

Let us know what you think about this new segment by sending us a DM on Instagram @sponstayneous, shooting our founder a DM on Twitter, or sending him an email at zach@sponstayneous.com .

Before we dive in, I want to quickly plug a product my team and I recently moved out of beta, called Ping, because I think a lot of y’all tuning into this chat will get real value from it!

Ping is a simple plugin that lives on your website or direct booking site and integrates with you Airbnb calendar and notifies your fans and followers the minute there is a match between your home’s availability and their desired travel dates.

Ping was designed specifically for hosts with unique stays that typically have limited availability.

The insta stories y’all post about last minute cancellations is a great start, but what it you could also automatically Ping folks who’ve already expressed interest in the very dates that just opened up?!

And that’s exactly what Ping does. All prospective guest data collected in Ping is available to you and if you purchase a premium plan you can integrate Ping directly with you Mail Chimp or Constant Contact accounts!

Learn more at BnBping.com or shoot our founder Zach an email at zach@sponstayneous.com if you've got questions!
