Booking pacing - have you heard the term but aren't sure what it actually means or why it matters?
It's simply how quickly your listing's future dates are getting booked. And it's one of the most important factors in how OTA algorithms rank your property.
Platforms earn commission on bookings. They push the listings that get booked most frequently. If your pacing slows down - because your minimum night stay is too high or your pricing isn't competitive during quiet periods - your ranking drops, fewer people see you, and it compounds.
A 3-night minimum wipes out 40-50% of potential bookings. That alone can quietly destroy your listing's relevance.
Watch this for the full breakdown. π
