Helping Hirers Find You: Our New and Improved Search Experience

Helping hirers find you: our new and improved search experience

As an owner, you know that the first step to a successful hire is making sure the right people can actually find your van. Whether you are specialising in off-road camper trailers or have a luxury motorhome ready for a family getaway, your location is often the first thing a hirer looks for.

We have been listening to your feedback about how locations appear on the platform. To make the connection between our community of owners and local hirers even smoother, we have officially upgraded our search technology across the entire RV sharing platform.

What this means for your listing

This update is all about precision. We have moved to a more advanced location solution to ensure that when someone searches for a van in your specific suburb, your listing shows up exactly where it should.

Here is how these improvements help you and your potential hirers:

• Improved search accuracy: We have resolved those frustrating instances where certain suburbs or locations were not appearing correctly. This means your van is now categorised with better accuracy, ensuring you are visible to hirers in your immediate area.

• Better experience for hirers: It is now much easier for the community to browse local areas and find the perfect van in their preferred suburb. Whether they are looking for a quick pickup down the road or organising a delivery to a specific caravan park, the process is now more intuitive.

• Smarter location data: The new system provides a cleaner, more reliable interface, giving your listing a professional edge when hirers are browsing through their options.

Does this change my ranking?

It is important to note that this is not a change to our ranking algorithm. Instead, it is a significant improvement to how we categorise and manage locations.

In the past, some owners noticed their listings appeared out of area or that local listings were not receiving the correct priority due to inaccurate suburb data. This update fixes those pain points. By ensuring your van is correctly linked to your location, we are making sure you are seen by the right people at the right time.

Looking ahead

This upgrade is just the beginning. By moving to this more robust search technology, we are laying the groundwork for even more helpful features in the future. We want to make it as simple as possible for you to share your love of the outdoors and for hirers to find their next adventure.
