What is tauRank?
tauRank is a rank tracker for Airbnb and Booking listings, built for hosts and property managers.
It shows where your listing appears in search for guests in different countries, every day, and how your nightly price compares with the listings a guest weighs you against: the same number of beds, priced close to you.
How does tauRank track rankings?
It runs the search a guest would run, every day, from each country you choose.
You pick the dates and the number of guests your plan allows, and the countries your guests come from. Each country is searched from its own dedicated connection, and we record the page and position your listing lands on, so you see the history and the gap between countries.
Why is my ranking different from what I see on my phone?
Because a ranking belongs to one particular search, and your phone is probably running a different one.
The country the guest searches from, the dates and the number of guests each change the order. In our first test of one listing, the same search from different countries put it between 28 and 129 places apart. We keep the daily history so you can read a trend rather than a single run.
How is tauRank different from Rankbreeze?
tauRank is built for one question, where your listing ranks, and answers it on Airbnb and Booking, from up to three guest countries at once.
We search every day from each country you choose, so you see the gap between what a guest in Germany and a guest in the UK are shown. You also get your price against comparable listings, each of your open nights ranked on its own, and a weekly read of every result. Rankbreeze covers Airbnb only. Read the full comparison.
Is there a free trial or a free checker?
There is no free check, but there is a free 14-day demo, and a one-off check of your own listing costs 1 credit.
The demo puts you on a listing we already track, with its history. You can read everything and change nothing, and it needs no card. A check searches your listing once from up to three countries; credit packs start at €3 for 2 credits, excluding VAT, and credits do not expire. Plans start at €9 a month.
Can I track custom dates and guest counts?
Yes, within your plan: Starter tracks a flexible weekend, while Pro and Business also track a week, a month or an exact stay.
Guest counts are limited slots. Starter searches for 2 guests; Pro and Business include two party sizes of your choice, and an extra party size is an add-on at €3 a month. A one-off check lets you pick the dates and the guest count without a plan. See what each plan includes.
How often does it run, and how far down the results does it read?
Every day it reads the top pages of results; on Pro and Business a full-depth search reads every result once a week.
If your listing is not in the pages we read, we say "beyond the pages we read", not "not ranked". Only a full-depth search can say it is not there at all. A search that fails shows as a gap in the history, never as your listing dropping out.
