Write a Title That Ranks & Gets Clicks

A simple formula, examples, and a low-tech A/B test to improve visibility and CTR.

Why Titles Matter

On OTAs, the title influences both relevance (how often you appear) and click-through (whether guests open your page). A strong title communicates value in under two seconds.

The 3-Part Formula

Hook + Type + Location Cue

  • Hook: what’s special (Balcony • River View • Free Parking • Fast Wi-Fi).
  • Type: Studio, 1-BR Apartment, Boutique Double, Family Room.
  • Location Cue: 2-min Metro • Old Town • Near Arena • City Center.

Examples:

  • “Sunny Balcony Studio • 2-min Metro • Fast Wi-Fi”
  • “Boutique Double • Old Town • Walk to Museums”
  • “Family 2-BR w/ Parking • 5-min Beach • Workspace”

Length & Style Guidelines

  • Aim for ~45–60 characters; readable on mobile.
  • No shouty ALL CAPS; use separators “•” or “|”.
  • Use clear tokens guests scan for: Balcony, Parking, AC, Workspace, Metro, Old Town, Beach, River View.
  • One unique title per room/unit—avoid copy-paste duplicates.

Tailor by Market

  • Business city: “Quiet Workspace • Fast Wi-Fi • Near Convention Center”.
  • Leisure/Beach: “Sea View • Balcony • 5-min Beach • Parking”.
  • Historic core: “Old Town • Charming Studio • Walk Everywhere”.

Low-Tech A/B Rotation (2 weeks)

  1. Create two variants (A and B) using the formula.
  2. Run version A for 7–14 days; note impressions, clicks, conversion.
  3. Switch to version B for the same period; compare CTR and conversion.
  4. Keep the winner; iterate one element at a time (e.g., swap Hook, keep Type+Location).

Quick Do/Don’t

  • ✅ Lead with the strongest Hook; keep fluff out.
  • ✅ Include one transport or landmark cue guests instantly understand.
  • ❌ No emojis or long adjective strings; they reduce scannability.
