Service comparison

Two different services. Two different levels of responsibility.

Advertising supports discovery and lead generation. Full management adds the operating work required to run the property day to day.

Visibility and inquiry support

Property Advertising

Best for owners or managers who keep operational control but want additional direct discovery and lead support.

  • Property profile and presentation support
  • Exposure through agreed My Amazing Homestays channels
  • Inquiry or lead routing defined before launch
  • Trackable links and campaign reporting where available
  • Optional promotional support based on the selected plan

Important: advertising alone does not include guest operations, cleaning, maintenance, or emergency response unless those services are added in writing.

Ask About Your Property
What is the Website Listing Advertising program?

It is a visibility and lead-generation service for owners who continue managing their own property or already have an operations team. The program can improve the property profile, place it on agreed My Amazing Homestays channels, and create trackable paths for inquiries.

The exact placements, promotional activity, inquiry routing, and reporting are defined in the written proposal. Advertising by itself does not include daily guest or property operations.

How is property advertising different from full management?

Property advertising focuses on presentation, discovery, and inquiries. The owner or existing manager remains responsible for rates, booking decisions, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance, access, and emergencies unless another service is contracted.

Full management adds the operational work: pricing coordination, listing oversight, guest support, turnovers, property checks, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting within the agreed service scope.

Is property advertising another booking channel?

It is an additional marketing and direct-discovery layer, not a replacement for Airbnb, Vrbo, or your existing booking system. Where a guest completes a reservation, who processes payment, and how a lead is routed depend on the setup approved before launch.

Can I keep my existing Airbnb and Vrbo listings?

Yes, the advertising service is intended to complement an owner’s existing presence. Current listing links, direct-booking links, and approved property information can be incorporated into the marketing plan. Any recommended listing changes should be reviewed with you before implementation.

Who answers inquiries and handles guests?

That responsibility depends on the selected service. In an advertising-only arrangement, inquiries are routed according to the agreed process and the owner or designated manager normally retains operational responsibility. Under full management, guest communication and stay support are handled within the management agreement.

The handoff should be documented before the property is promoted so no inquiry or urgent guest issue is left without an owner.

Do you guarantee bookings, occupancy, or revenue?

No. Results depend on the home, location, rate, availability, seasonality, reviews, photography, market demand, and the owner’s response process. Advertising can improve exposure and measurement, but it cannot guarantee a specific number of inquiries, bookings, occupancy, or revenue.

How are advertising results tracked?

Depending on the selected channels, reporting may include profile views, link clicks, inquiries, qualified leads, and attributable bookings where the booking path permits reliable tracking. The proposal should state which metrics are available, how often they are reviewed, and any limitations in attribution.

What information do you need to evaluate my property?

Start with the property address or market area, bedroom and bathroom count, guest capacity, key amenities, current listing or website links, recent photos, and your goals. For advertising, also identify where inquiries should go. For management, include the current operating setup, cleaning arrangement, and any known maintenance or HOA considerations.

Account access or credentials should only be shared through an approved secure process after the service scope is confirmed.

Do I need professional photography?

Not always, but strong, current photography has a major effect on how a property is understood and compared. Existing images can be reviewed first. If they do not accurately show the space or amenities, updated photography may be recommended before the property receives paid or expanded promotion.

How quickly can onboarding begin?

The schedule depends on property readiness, the completeness of the supplied materials, the service selected, and whether new creative or account setup is required. A realistic launch sequence should be included in the written recommendation after the initial property review.

Can I start with advertising and later move to full management?

A change in service can be evaluated later. The property must still fit the management service area and operating standards, and a new written scope may be required. Starting with advertising does not automatically reserve or guarantee future management availability.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing should reflect the service type, number of properties, required setup, creative work, promotional scope, lead-handling responsibilities, and ongoing reporting. You should receive the included work, exclusions, fees, term, and cancellation conditions in writing before service begins.

Before service begins

Put the important details in writing.

A clear proposal protects both the owner and the service team. It should identify what is included, what remains the owner’s responsibility, and how performance will be reviewed.

Setup fees, ongoing charges, service period, and cancellation terms.

03

Lead ownership

Where inquiries go, who responds, and how follow-up is documented.

04

Reporting

Available metrics, reporting cadence, and attribution limits.

A practical next step

From property details to a clear recommendation.

01

Share the property

Provide the location, home details, current listings, and operating setup.

02

Review fit and goals

Discuss whether advertising, full management, or another path matches the owner’s needs.

03

Receive written scope

Review responsibilities, deliverables, fees, limitations, and next steps before committing.
