When guests are searching on Airbnb, the first two features they see are a listing's cover photo and its headline. Those two elements, along with the price, are guests' only reference points when they click through to your listing. Many factors impact whether or not guests book your property, but your cover photo is one of the top factors because it essentially forms a guest's first impression. We recommend you use a professional photographer for all your listing photos. Search online for Airbnb or real estate photographers in your area. You can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $300 depending on the area you live in, and the turnaround time on receiving your completed photos should be no longer than 1-2 weeks. We recommend 25 photos as an absolute minimum. However, oftentimes we recommend upward of 40 photos. Schedule your photoshoot in the daylight. [2023] - Symon He
