Update your listing so more potential clients can discover your boat!

You have a fabulous listing, and now you want people to check it out. How do they find it? Why does Click&Boat’s algorithm place some listings higher up in the search results? What can you do to improve your listing’s ranking?

4 Tips to improve your ranking! 💸

1. 💌 Make your listing as clear as possible!

Click&Boat’s algorithm factors in how potential customers engage with your listing. If you consistently accept booking requests after conversations with potential renters, your listing will be displayed higher up on the search page. You should make sure that your listing is clear. All the rental rules should be specified in the description, the pictures should be sharp and appealing, and the price list and extras need to be up to date. This will result in tenants picking your boat over others, meaning that you will receive more booking requests.

2.💸 Update your calendar so that you can accept all booking requests!

Your calendar should be up to date so that every time you receive a booking request, you can accept it. The Click&Boat algorithm favours owners who accept more bookings. Every time you refuse a booking request or a request expires, you will lose some visibility. You can update your calendar by logging into your account —> listing —> calendar and then blocking the dates in which your boats are not available.

3.🎯 Send Personalised Offers

Some clients just need an extra push before booking. A special offer is a great way for you to create the perfect offer for your client. Via desktop or the app, you will be able to select the ideal boat for your client. You can also change the date, the check-in or check-out times, apply a discount or create a precise quote for your tenant. You will then be able to send a time window in which your offer will be valid before it expires. Boat owners who send offers are able to convert chats into bookings.
