Have option to update listing descriptions and photo orders automatically
I want the listing descriptions and photo orders to be updated automatically on a daily basic so I can get more traffic.

I've just read the previous comment "The approach of doing daily updates has no bearing and has never been confirmed by Airbnb or other channels, as a way to increase listing placement." But personally my experience is the more time you spend in the listing and how often you do updates, seems to make a difference in that your listing doesn't get stale. It does seem to improve the position in the search rankings when nothing else has changed when I update the listing.

Curious as to why this idea was declined? Other channel managers I've used had this feature and it worked really well to help with the SEO boost.

The approach of doing daily updates has no bearing and has never been confirmed by Airbnb or other channels, as a way to increase listing placement. Some of the more relevant factors that might influence search ranking include:
- Relevance: The relevance of the listing to the guest's search query, including the accuracy of the listing's description, amenities, location, and other details.
- Quality and Completeness of Information: Listings with comprehensive and accurate information tend to rank higher.
- Guest Reviews and Ratings: Positive reviews and high ratings from previous guests can positively impact a listing's ranking.
- Booking and Reservation History: A listing's popularity and booking history might influence its ranking.
- Pricing: Competitive and reasonable pricing can affect a listing's visibility.
- Host Responsiveness: Hosts who respond promptly to inquiries and booking requests may see a positive impact on their ranking.
