Action: OwnerRez – Location

Module 6: OwnerRez - Setting up the Channel Manager

In short

Location is one of the biggest factors in a booking decision, and an exact map pin builds trust because guests can see exactly where they would be staying. Booking platforms also tend to favour precise locations because they reduce disputes. Adding nearby places with real travel times and selecting every accurate setting, view and activity helps your listing appear in more filtered searches.

Questions people ask

Should I show my holiday rental's exact location?

Showing an exact location usually builds trust and can help search visibility, because guests can see where they would be staying and are less likely to feel misled.

How do nearby places help a holiday rental listing?

Listing nearby beaches, shops, restaurants and attractions with realistic travel times helps guests picture the stay and answers common questions before they book.

Why select views and activities in OwnerRez?

Guests filter searches by settings, views and activities. If you leave an accurate option unticked, your listing will not appear in those searches.
