6Pro Tips: Maximize Your Reach

Don't have thousands of followers yet? No problem! Here are proven strategies to get your vacancy posts in front of the right audience.

Create Property-Specific Pages

Set up a dedicated Facebook page for each property. VacancyVibe posts directly to these pages, building a focused audience of people interested in your specific location.

Share Into Rental Groups

After VacancyVibe posts to your page, manually share those posts into local rental and travel groups. Search for groups like "[Your City] Vacation Rentals" or "[Your Destination] Travel" - these often have thousands of members actively looking for places to stay.

Boost or Create Ads

Use the generated content to create targeted Facebook or Instagram ads. You can boost posts directly or use them as the basis for ad campaigns targeting travelers interested in your area.

Use the Copy Feature

Prefer manual control? Use VacancyVibe's copy feature to grab the generated content and paste it wherever you want - your personal profile, community boards, or any platform we don't directly integrate with.
