Short-Term Rental Management for Property Owners in the USA, UK and Canada

Quick answer

ZAVYANS manages short-term rentals for owners in the USA, UK and Canada. We run the listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, set prices and availability, answer guests, ask for reviews and report results every month. We also help owners build a direct booking presence that works in search engines and AI assistants.

What we manage for owners

ZAVYANS takes on the day-to-day running of your short-term rental, so you don't need to watch bookings or answer every message. Owners approve the key decisions.

• Listing setup and optimisation on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo
• Listing titles, descriptions, house rules and amenities
• Photo selection and ordering, with photo coordination
• Pricing and calendar management to fill nights at the right rate
• Guest messaging, booking enquiries and check-in information
• Review requests and replies to guest reviews
• Monthly owner reporting on bookings, occupancy, enquiries and rankings

SEO: search engine optimisation for your property

Guests search for stays in a city, neighbourhood or type of home, such as "two-bedroom apartment in [city] near [landmark]". SEO makes the owner's own website and any public pages match those searches, with clear page titles, descriptions, headings and useful content about the area.

We research the local terms guests use, build a fast mobile page for the property, add structured data, and keep Google Maps information accurate. Google's rules restrict Business Profile listings for properties with no staffed location, so we only create a profile where it is allowed and accurate.

• Local keyword research for each city and neighbourhood
• Fast, mobile-first property website with clear booking and contact paths
• Structured data for the property, reviews and FAQs where accurate
• Internal links between the property, area guides and FAQs
• Monthly checks on rankings and indexing in Google and Bing

AEO: answer engine optimisation

Guests and owners now ask questions directly: "Is it allowed to rent my flat on Airbnb in [city]?" or "Which area is best for a family stay near [landmark]?". AEO means writing short, accurate answers to those questions on your pages, so they can be quoted in search answers and voice results.

• A question-and-answer section on each property page, written from real guest questions
• Clear answers on check-in, parking, pets, cancellation and house rules
• FAQ structured data where the content appears on the page
• Plain-language answers that match how people speak

GEO: generative engine optimisation

AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini build answers from sources they trust. GEO makes sure your property, your brand and the facts about the property are consistent and easy to verify wherever they appear: your website, listings, directories and reviews.

• Consistent property name, address area, capacity, amenities and rules across every platform
• Original, accurate local guides with no invented figures
• Clear entity information: who manages the property, where, and in which countries
• Citations on relevant local directories and review sites where the owner agrees
• Monthly checks on how AI assistants describe the property, with notes on any errors to correct

AIO: AI overviews and AI search

Google AI Overviews and similar features summarise search results at the top of the page. AIO work makes it more likely your pages are used in those summaries: a direct answer near the top, clear headings, accurate facts and helpful detail. No one can guarantee placement in AI results, so we measure and adjust.

• Direct, one-paragraph answers at the top of each key page
• Descriptive headings that match the questions guests ask
• Tables or lists for amenities, rules and pricing approach where they help
• Regular updates to keep facts current

HEO: listing engine optimisation on the platforms

Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo rank listings with their own search systems. HEO improves how the listing performs in that search: the title, the first photos, a complete amenity list, competitive pricing, a calendar that is open, fast replies and steady reviews.

• Complete amenities, accurate house rules and up-to-date availability
• Photo order that leads with the strongest images
• Fast guest replies, tracked through the platform's own response measures
• Pricing reviews against comparable listings in the same area
• Review requests after each stay, and replies to every review

Direct bookings and paid campaigns

Owners who want to reduce platform fees can take some bookings directly. We build a booking page and run search and social campaigns for that page, with enquiries sent to WhatsApp or email and tracked by source. Platform rules on off-platform bookings apply, and we explain them before we start.

• Direct booking page with rates, photos, rules and a booking or enquiry button
• Google and Meta campaigns for stays in your city, with enquiries tracked by source
• Retargeting for people who viewed the property

Country rules to check before you list

Short-term letting is regulated locally, and rules change. Owners remain responsible for permits, registration, insurance and tax. We flag the rules that apply to your property before we list it.

• USA: check city and state short-term rental rules, permit or registration requirements, and occupancy taxes.
• UK: some London boroughs limit short lets of entire homes to 90 nights a year, and other councils have their own licensing or planning rules.
• Canada: provinces and cities, including Toronto, have their own registration and short-term rental rules.

How it works

You tell us about the property, its location, guest capacity and your goals. We agree the rules and pricing approach with you, set up or improve the listings with your approval before anything goes live, and then manage them with a monthly report.

• Free initial call to review the property and your goals
• Listing and search audit, with recommended changes
• Set-up with your approval, then ongoing management
• Monthly report on bookings, enquiries, search visibility and reviews

What we report every month

• Bookings and occupancy by platform
• Average response time and review score
• Direct enquiries and their source
• Search rankings for the property's main terms
• AI assistant checks, with any errors to correct
• Actions for the next month
