Action: Adjusting Your Base Rate the Right Way
Module 8: Setting Up Dynamic Pricing (Pricelabs) and General Fee Policy
PriceLabs suggests base rates for your market, but those figures are reference points, not instructions. The right base depends on where your property genuinely sits against comparable listings once bedroom count, quality and reviews are considered. Choosing that position deliberately, and keeping sensible minimum and maximum guardrails around it, stops dynamic pricing drifting too high or too low.

Questions people ask
Should I use the base rate PriceLabs recommends?
Treat it as a starting reference. The suggestion reflects market data, but you still need to judge where your property sits compared with similar listings.
How often should I change my PriceLabs base price?
Review it regularly against booking pace and results. Small, considered adjustments based on data work better than large or frequent swings.
