Competitor Overview Tab

The Competition Overview Tab benchmarks your Airbnb listing against nearby competitor listings with similar attributes — such as location, property type, and size. It helps you understand how your listing stacks up in quality, content, and amenities, and what specific improvements can help you outperform your competitors in visibility and bookings.

This view draws directly from Airbnb data, comparing your listing’s scores, images, amenities, and reviews with those of top competitors in your area.

How Competitors Are Chosen

Competitors are automatically selected using your listing’s location, bedroom count, and review activity. The system identifies nearby listings that meet these criteria:

1. Active for at least 70 days in the past 3 months.
   
2. Have a similar number of bedrooms (±1).
   
3. Have at least 10 reviews.
   
4. Ranked among the top listings by top revenue.
   

This ensures that the comparisons you see are meaningful and reflect your true competitive landscape.

Key Sections

Each Competition Overview page contains:

1. What’s Working Well
   
2. What Competitors Are Doing Well
   
3. Competitor Comparison Table
   

What’s Working Well

This section highlights where your listing already outperforms competitors. It compares your scores across multiple dimensions and calls out specific strengths you should continue to leverage.

Examples:

1. “Your Description Score (B) is better than Double Room Suite Bay View 2BD/3BTH Fontainebleau (C) and Gorgeous Tresor 2 Bedroom (C).”
   
2. “Your Image Score (A) is significantly better than competitors in your area.”
   

These insights help you understand what’s resonating with guests and driving visibility for your listing.

What Competitors Are Doing Well

This section identifies areas where competitor listings outperform yours. It highlights competitive gaps you can close to strengthen your ranking and conversion potential.

Examples:

1. “Your listing does not offer a Pool, Hot Tub, or Gym, which appear in nearby listings like Fontainebleau 2 Bedroom Bay View.”
   

These findings provide specific, data-backed targets for improvement.

Competitor Comparison Table

1. The comparison table provides a side-by-side score view of your listing and its top competitors.
   
2. Each column represents a key listing component that affects quality and visibility.
   
3. Color-coded grades (A–D) make it easy to spot your strengths and weaknesses at a glance.
