1. Search Powered Pricing

‍

In 2023, Beyond announced a revolutionary new product - Search Powered Pricing. Powered by direct booking website consumer search data, Search Powered Pricing automatically increases or decreases pricing based on consumer search volume. This new capability helps avoid underpriced bookings for unexpected high demand dates and allows property managers to optimize their strategy with demand data before any guests actually book.

‍

NEW FOR 2024 – add Search Powered Pricing to your pricing strategy even if you do not have a direct booking website! Whether you just use different distribution channels like Airbnb and Vrbo or do not have a direct reservation channel, Beyond has engineered a way for you to level-up your pricing strategy with consumer search data in your market. Join other Beyond users who have already seen revenue increases of over 3.3% and increases in stay lengths by 11%! Check out the markets where Search Powered Pricing is available here.

5. Algorithm Enhancements

‍

Over the past 10 years, we have added so many enhancements to Beyond’s industry-leading dynamic pricing tool. We’re excited to share some of the latest updates to our algorithm, all designed to use the best connected and sourced data to accurately price your listings. Most of these updates are constantly working in the background to help you optimize your prices automatically with no additional work needed. 
‍

Most short term rental listing calendars online make it difficult to discern whether a date is booked by a guest or blocked due to an owner's stay or maintenance block. With our latest algorithm update, we have defined better logic to understand calendar availability as it relates to pricing. Now, we’ll consider blocked dates and booked dates separately as they can have different impacts on our analysis of overall market demand. Expect these changes to reflect on Neighborhood Occupancy Charts, prices, and health scores.  
‍

We recently highlighted that not all data is created equal in the short-term rental industry on our blog. The differences between data sources can have a big impact on revenue management, including market data views. Recently, Airbnb implemented a change that impacted the ability to scrape nightly price data for individual listings. We’re excited to share that we have found a solution to continue delivering this data to our users across the Beyond platform. Users can now see consistent nightly pricing for scraped Airbnb data using our new quote scraper logic on the listing-level Neighborhood Pricing page.
