How the scoring works

Built by: Listing Audit Team

We grade your listing the way a guest skims it.

Every audit runs the same five rubrics — the patterns that drive booking conversion on Airbnb and Vrbo. No fluff, no superlatives, no "you're doing great!" filler.

The five dimensions

Title (0–100)

Length sweet spot 35–60 chars. Hook strength. Inclusion of a searchable amenity or landmark. Penalties for ALL-CAPS, emoji spam, vague superlatives, and platform-banned content.

Description (0–100)

Scannability. Section structure (The Space / Sleeping / Bathrooms / Kitchen / Workspace / Outdoor / Location / Rules). Specific named features over generic adjectives. Logistics covered: check-in method, parking, wifi, quirks.

Photos (0–100) — metadata only in v0.1

Count, cover-photo strength, sequencing (cover → living → kitchen → bedrooms → bathrooms → outdoor), aspect ratios, and shot-type diversity from caption hints. Image-content analysis (cover quality, missing shot types) lands in v0.2 paid.

Amenities (0–100)

Search-filter coverage. Missing the staples (Wifi / Kitchen / Parking / AC / Washer) hides you from search filters. Missing differentiators (Hot tub / EV charger / Pets / Workspace) costs you the segment that filters for those.

Reviews (0–100)

Average rating, total count, and recurring complaint themes that appear across multiple reviews. Single-mention complaints are ignored — only repeated patterns count. Praise themes get surfaced so you can amplify them in the description.

What v0.1 deliberately doesn't do

  • Score pricing. Real pricing analysis needs market comparables (PriceLabs/AirDNA-class data). Coming in v0.2 paid.
  • Vision-grade photo audit. v0.1 reads metadata. v0.2 paid analyzes the cover image and shot sequencing with vision AI.
  • Rewrite your title or description. v0.1 tells you what to fix. v0.2 paid generates the rewrite.
  • Track changes over time. Each audit is a snapshot. v0.2 paid stores history and diffs.

Privacy

We pull listing data the way a guest does — from the public listing page. We never log into your host account, never see your booking history, never store your IP address (only a salted hash for rate-limiting). Audits are stored so you can come back to your result via the share link.
