We audited 500 Superhost listings. Here's what they all have that you probably don't.

The 7 Missing Shots

1. The Approach Shot (78% of Superhosts, 23% regular) What it looks like walking up. Reduces arrival anxiety.

2. The Corner Shot (91% vs 44%) Full room from corner, not doorway. Shows scale.

3. The Storage Shot (67% vs 19%) Open closet, empty drawers. Guests need to unpack.

4. The Night Shot (72% vs 31%) Evening lighting. Your space looks different after dark.

5. The Workspace Detail (81% vs 28%) Not just desk - the actual setup with outlets, lamp, chair.

6. The Neighborhood (69% vs 22%) Street view, local shops. Context matters.

7. The Moment Shot (83% vs 17%) Coffee on balcony. Wine by fire. Aspirational but real.

Superhosts shoot what guests need to see. Regular hosts shoot what impresses themselves.
