Is there a way to provide hosts metrics such as listing views and conversion rates? This would help determine how to best optimize listings, understand seasonality and the time of the day my listing is viewed most. I’m sure there are other factors metrics would help with. A popular home sharing platform allows hosts to see how many views they receive per day as well as booking conversion data. This would be a good starting point.

Thank you for the feedback, Chanae! This is a feature we have discussed internally and is something we are considering. As a fellow host, I agree that it would be very helpful to have insights into a space’s performance.

@Chanae_R any other metrics on your wishlist? I heard:
- page views by hour/day/week/month
- number of inquiries and bookings
Anything else you’ve been hoping for?

This is a GREAT IDEA! We need to know how many views we get (per day) and conversion rate, etc.
SPLACER does a good job of this (though I have other issues with their service.)

I think that’s a good start @Stu. If I think of anything else, I’ll be sure to share here.

Hi @Stu, it would also be wonderful to know:
-
if the guest ultimately booked a venue via Peerspace;
-
and perhaps even where they booked.
One thing we have done is to wait until after their event date, and see if they have been reviewed by a venue. In a handful of cases we have then seen which venue they selected. I haven’t done much with that information, but interesting to see.
In one case, we had passed on a guest, and later saw they had booked another venue on Peerspace. Sorry to see that they were a terrible guest: drunk, too wild, too loud, fought with neighbors, etc. We dodged a bullet.

@Brad_B I like that idea. We may need to keep a bit of privacy for the guest, but we might be able to show what spaces people book who check out your listing, if that’d be interesting?

Any insights would be helpful, thank you Stu.
Any update on providing metrics to hosts? We would be interested to see page views, guests who found our spaces through filters or keyword searches, etc.

Thanks for reviving this thread Mark. I’m hoping this is a priority for the Peerspace team. Would personally loved to have seen this tackled before the new cancellation policy.
It looks like the main (and only) metric that I use, the number of saves, has disappeared! When I looked at the listing today, I couldn’t find it. Is that important feature gone for good, or moved somewhere, or just on vacation??

I also noticed that the number of saves has disappeared and it’s a good indicator of when someone is interested in booking.

Keyword searches, yes!!! Right now the search bar only seems to ask “what kind of event are you booking?” We need a search engine on here that searches by KEYWORDS. If I need to rent a cowboy bar, I want to search for “Cowboy Bar” and not for something for a standard old party rental or generic ‘movie shoot.’ It seems like a REAL search feature would spike business for both Peerspace and their hosts immediately. It can’t be that difficult in 2019 to add a real search function. Half of all the websites in the world have this feature now.
Peerspace???

Hello all,
The “Number of saves” metric was good for us. It would give us feedback in certain changes in our listing. For example, we recently uploaded new pictures for one of our spaces and this metric confirmed along with more booking requests that the change of pictures was having a positive impact.
It would be lovely to have that metric back in our listings 
Thank you

Hi Stu,
Any update on when metrics will be available for hosts? Its been nearly 6 months so I figured I’d follow up. We now have even less visibility on how our spaces are doing with the removal of the save feature.
Stinks when we Peerspace’s responsiveness is lacking. @Stu following up again.
Very sorry for the delay in responding, Chanae. I checked in with the team working on it, and they say the project’s in-progress now. They don’t have an exact date that it’ll launch, but I’m guessing that the first version should launch before summer. We know this data is valuable, and so we want to make sure we get it right.

Got it. Looking forward to the launch.
Was about to ask the same question!
My bookings have been slower than average this month. Not sure if it’s something I did or just the ebb and flow of business. Would be nice to track!
It’s been 7 months since my initial inquiry. Many like you Lisa, agree that metrics would be helpful but still no word on why we’re left in the dark. Seeing this data would even help answer why many hosts have experienced a significant decline in inquiries. @Stu Any update?
