Customizing Your Listing's Competitor Set

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Rankbreeze creates your competitor set automatically within 24 hours of adding your listing. If your Airbnb account is connected, it'll pull the listings Airbnb compares you against. If not, Rankbreeze selects comparable properties using its own algorithm, matching on property type, amenities, location, guest capacity, and more.

These listings form your competitor set, which powers your:

  • Competitors Rates

  • Photo Optimizer

  • Review Analyzer tools

  1. Access your listing from the My Properties page

    1. Click any button (Visibility, Optimization, or Pricing)

  2. Click the Settings icon to open Listing Settings

  3. Select "Manage Competitors" - You're in!

FAQs

How are competitors suggested?

If your Airbnb account is connected, we use Airbnb's Similar Listings. If not, our algorithm selects comparable properties based on type, amenities, location, and guest capacity. You can also add your preferred listings at any time.

Are my own listings suggested as competitors?

It depends on the source. For algorithm-selected listings, Rankbreeze automatically excludes any listings under the same Airbnb hosting account. For Similar Listings, the selection is controlled by Airbnb. If one of your own properties appears, you can remove it manually from your competitor set.

Can I add my own competitors?

Absolutely! Copy/paste the listing's Airbnb URL on the Competitor's Page to add custom competitors to your set.

What does the "Manually added" tag mean?

It indicates listings you've added via their Airbnb URL or that were added before our March 2025 update.

What does the "Similar Listing" tag mean?

It's an actual listing that Airbnb is comparing your listing to.

What does the "Offline" tag mean?

When a listing shows "offline," the property is currently unlisted (temporarily or permanently). Simply use the "Refresh Competitors" button to find a replacement!

How do I filter competitors by amenities?

Use the "Apply filters" button to select required ("Include Amenities") and excluded ("Excluded Amenities") amenities.

Is the competitor set used in other parts of Rankbreeze?

Yes! Your competitor set powers Competitor Rates, Photo Optimizer & Review Analyzer tools across the platform.
