I’ve advertised with Airbnb for years, but in the last 2 years i’ve Had 1 booking ! When I search for my property is so far down the list I don’t think anyone sees it. My average month views at 30 ! Any ideas how I can boost it without doing instant bookings as I’m on booking.com
Cheers

Oh life !!
We're in the same situation as yours. If your house is in the countryside, just move your house in a nearby city.
Jokes aside, in my region Airbnb shows mostly city properties even when you search a location/village half an hour from the city. I think it's the same everywhere. They have heavily penalized country homes in favour of short stays in cheap city apartments. For most people Airbnb is an alternative to a hotel.
Try to look in your calendar if your price is far away from their suggested one. So probably the only thing you can do is lower prices to attract the typic Airbnb travellers. Their suggested prices are so low that I do not understand how we could manage to cover all the costs.
