The Prompt
You are a senior short-term rental optimization specialist with 8 years of experience improving Airbnb listing search ranking, click-through rate, and booking conversion for individual hosts and property management companies where the listing title, description, and guest communication system are the primary levers for improving ranking and review score without changing the property itself. Help me write an Airbnb listing description so I can improve Airbnb listing ranking and produce an optimized listing that ranks higher in Airbnb search results, converts more profile views into bookings, and generates the guest experience clarity that produces consistent five-star reviews. My situation: - Property type and location: [e.g., "a 2-bedroom apartment in Barcelona's Eixample district — 85 sqm, sleeps 4, has a private rooftop terrace, is a 12-minute walk from Sagrada Família, and is on a quiet interior street with no traffic noise"] - Current listing performance: [e.g., "the listing has been active for 14 months, has 23 reviews at a 4.6 average (4.4 on cleanliness, 4.8 on location, 4.5 on communication) — the listing appears on page 3-4 for 'Barcelona apartment sleeps 4' searches — occupancy rate is 58%, against a neighborhood average of 74%"] - Current listing problem: [e.g., "the existing title is 'Cozy 2BR in Barcelona' and the description is 220 words written in a casual tone — the title does not include the strongest search terms, the description does not mention the rooftop terrace until the fourth paragraph, and there is no structured check-in or house guide communication system"] - Guest review pattern: [e.g., "the 4.4 cleanliness score is dragging the overall average — host analysis of the two 3-star cleanliness reviews shows both guests expected a deep-clean level of cleanliness but the listing did not clearly set the cleanliness standard expectation — both guests also cited unclear check-in instructions as a secondary issue"] - Target guest profile: [e.g., "couples and small families aged 28-50 visiting Barcelona for 4-8 nights — they are experienced Airbnb users, have stayed in 10+ properties, and make booking decisions based on the rooftop terrace feature, the location relative to Gaudí sites, and a review score above 4.7"] - Pricing and competitive context: [e.g., "the property is priced at €145/night in peak season — comparable listings with 4.8+ review scores and rooftop features are priced at €175-€195/night — improving the review score to 4.8+ would support a 15-20% price increase within 6 months"] - Airbnb ranking factors relevant to this listing: [e.g., "the host's response rate is 96% within 1 hour — the listing has no Superhost status because the review score is below 4.8 — achieving Superhost status is the primary ranking improvement lever available without changing the property"] Deliver: 1. An optimized listing title — a 50-character Airbnb title that leads with the highest-search-value feature (rooftop terrace), includes the location identifier (Eixample, Barcelona), and includes the guest capacity and bedroom count in the format that matches how the target guest searches — with two alternative titles to test 2. A full listing description rewrite — a 500-word description organized in four sections: the opening hook (the rooftop terrace experience in second person, in the first 30 words), the location and access section (walking distances to the four most-searched Barcelona landmarks from the property), the apartment features section (leading with the features most correlated with 5-star reviews in the apartment category), and the guest experience section (what arrival, check-in, and the first morning feel like) 3. A cleanliness expectation-setting insert — a 80-word section to be added to the listing description and the pre-stay message that defines the cleanliness standard the guest will find on arrival (professional cleaning service, clean linen and towels, fully restocked supplies) and asks the guest to leave the property in a comparable condition, addressing the root cause of the 4.4 cleanliness score without accusing previous guests 4. An optimized check-in instruction template — a structured 200-word check-in message sent 24 hours before arrival covering the keybox location and code, the building entry sequence, the apartment door procedure, the Wi-Fi network and password, the rooftop terrace access instructions, and the three most common guest questions on arrival — eliminating the check-in confusion cited in the two negative reviews 5. A five-star review generation sequence — a guest communication sequence covering the day-2 check-in follow-up message (asking if everything is comfortable and offering to resolve any issue before checkout), the checkout reminder with a thank-you (sent the morning of checkout), and the post-stay review request (sent 24 hours after checkout), designed to resolve issues before they become negative reviews and to prompt satisfied guests to leave the review they intended but forgot 6. A photo caption optimization brief — for the five most important listing photos (rooftop terrace, living room, master bedroom, bathroom, neighborhood street), the optimized caption text that describes the feature in the search language the target guest uses, adding the keyword context that Airbnb's search algorithm reads from photo captions to supplement the description text 7. A Superhost achievement plan — a 90-day action plan covering the three Airbnb Superhost criteria the property currently fails (review score below 4.8, no Superhost badge) and the specific actions from outputs 1-6 that directly address each criterion, with the projected review score impact of each action and the booking volume required to generate enough new 5-star reviews to reach a 4.8 average from the current 4.6 baseline **Write the listing description and every guest communication template as if the target guest is an experienced Airbnb traveler who has been disappointed by a listing that looked better in the description than in person — every feature claim must be specific and verifiable, every process instruction must be precise enough to follow without a phone call, and every communication must resolve a potential complaint before it reaches the review.**

💡 How to use this prompt

  • Implement the optimized check-in instruction template from output item 4 before the listing description rewrite. The 4.4 cleanliness score and the two negative reviews both cited check-in confusion as a secondary issue — improving the check-in communication prevents the frustrated arrival experience that primes guests to notice cleanliness issues more critically. A guest who arrives smoothly and finds the apartment exactly as described is significantly more likely to rate cleanliness at 5 stars even if the apartment is at the same objective cleanliness level.
  • The most common mistake is leading the listing description with the apartment features (bed size, kitchen equipment, Wi-Fi speed) rather than with the highest-value experience (the rooftop terrace). A target guest searching for a Barcelona apartment with a rooftop terrace makes the booking decision based on how that terrace feels in the morning — a description that buries the terrace in paragraph four loses that guest to a competing listing that leads with the experience in the first sentence.
  • Gemini's real-time web access is useful for researching current Airbnb search ranking factors, Barcelona short-term rental market benchmarks, and Superhost criteria updates before building the optimization plan. For the listing description rewrite, the cleanliness expectation insert, and the check-in template, paste Gemini's research into Claude for cleaner, more precise hospitality-appropriate language.
