How Actowiz Solutions built a full-year Airbnb and VRBO pricing tracker for Tennessee rentals, enabling real-time competitive intelligence and revenue optimization.
Vacation rentals in Tennessee—especially in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville—operate in one of the most dynamic pricing environments in the United States. Cabin rentals with hot tubs, game rooms, mountain views, private decks, and pet-friendly configurations attract millions of travelers every year. This demand fluctuates dramatically, driven by long weekends, holidays, school vacations, and special events in the Smoky Mountains region.
To optimize occupancy and maximize revenue, rental operators need consistent visibility into competitor pricing, amenities, availability, minimum stay rules, and seasonal trends across platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. However, tracking this level of detail—especially for a full 365-day calendar—requires hours of manual effort and still results in inconsistent or incomplete data.
To solve this problem, a Tennessee-based rental operator approached Actowiz Solutions seeking a robust, automation-driven competitor intelligence tool. Their goal was simple but ambitious:
“Paste URLs of competitors’ Airbnb and VRBO listings and get full-year pricing, amenities, availability, and complete property insights—updated weekly or on-demand.”
