Imagine standing on your board, eyes fixed on the horizon, watching a massive set rolling in. The thrill, the anticipation, and the challenge are undeniable. Managing short-term rentals is much the same – a rush of data flooding in from worldwide bookings, supply surges, and fluctuating prices.
In surfing, understanding the ocean's rhythm is key. You read the swells, track the wind, and choose the perfect break to ride. Data visualization does the same for property managers. It transforms complex data sets into clear, actionable insights, just like a surfer’s weather report reveals the best conditions. This way, you can ride the market’s waves, making informed decisions that boost safety and performance—catching that perfect wave at the right moment!

It helps you anticipate guest preferences, fine-tune pricing strategies, and elevate the guest experience. Like predicting the perfect wave, leveraging advanced tools and real-time analytics turns market uncertainties into opportunities. Stay ahead, stay competitive, and make a splash in the ever-changing rental ocean.
In the upcoming days, the best surfers in the world will meet in Tahiti, where currently, 1,600 listings are available on online travel agencies (OTAs). The occupancy rates in this market are around 41% and keep increasing. Additionally, there has been a 10% increase in average daily rates (ADRs).
How does Search Powered Insights for short-term rentals work?
Search Powered Insights is a dashboard within Beyond that shows metrics and insights based on what guests are searching for when browsing vacation rentals on your website. It shows real-time demand patterns, rather than historical booking or occupancy patterns.
This feature collects and analyzes potential guest searches from your direct booking website. It highlights key insights to help you make data-driven decisions. With this data, you can make informed decisions in property management and develop successful marketing strategies, such as pricing, minimum stay policies, amenity upgrades, property acquisitions, targeted marketing campaigns, and content optimization.
Collection of Data: Safety Enhancements
Visualizing wave height, wind speed, and swell direction helps surfers identify safe conditions. Similarly, property managers and hosts benefit from advanced revenue strategies using Beyond's Beacon plug-in.
Installed on your direct booking website, Beacon captures anonymized trends like session info, user interactions, page views, search events, quotes, and conversion events. It works seamlessly behind the scenes, requiring no changes to your existing systems, and gathers visitor patterns, interaction timings, and searches.
Visualizing Data: Analyzing Trends
The data collected by Beacon is transformed into easy-to-understand visual formats such as charts, graphs, and tables. These visuals provide insights into key metrics like conversion rates, search volume, page performance, amenities searched, search lead times, and the conversion funnel. Just as a surfer reads the ocean, you can interpret these advanced insights to make strategic decisions.
Surfing to Success: Performance Optimization
“How do I increase occupancy and revenue?” This is the ultimate question for any short-term rental manager. With the information from Search Powered Insights, you can surf the revenue management waves with ease.
Instead of relying on last-minute rate discounts, leverage metrics like amenities searched and stay length preferences to highlight the unique value of your properties. This data-driven approach ensures you attract more bookings and optimize your marketing efforts.
Finally, Search Powered Pricing uses the wealth of data from your website visits and search activities. This data is meticulously analyzed and converted to Search Powered Insights, enabling automatic price adjustments based on real-time searches. This process, known as Search Powered Pricing, keeps you competitive and helps maximize your revenue.
