Listing policy

Last updated 2026-09-18.

Who we list

We list photography businesses that publicly advertise work on Airbnb, Vrbo, furnished-rental, short-term-rental or vacation-rental properties. A general real-estate or commercial photographer with no public short-term rental work does not qualify, however good they are. We check this against the business's own website before publishing, and we record the page and date we checked.

What the badges mean

Public profile
Compiled by us from the business's publicly available information. The business has not contacted us and has not confirmed anything. This is the default.
Claimed
Someone authorised to represent the business has contacted us, confirmed the relationship, and we have replied to them at a business-controlled email address. Claimed listings can show links to the social profiles the owner sends us.
Verified
We have manually reviewed the listing against the criteria below and found every published claim supported. Verified is never applied to an unclaimed listing.
Featured
Paid priority placement in one primary city. This is advertising. It is disclosed on every listing that carries it.

How listings are ordered

Featured listings appear first, then verified, then claimed, then public profiles. Within each group, listings are alphabetical. Claiming a listing is free.

Verification criteria

To be marked verified, all of the following must hold at the date checked:

  1. The listing has been claimed by an authorised representative.
  2. The website resolves and belongs to the business.
  3. The business's own public materials support the short-term or vacation-rental specialisation.
  4. Every service tag we publish is supported by the business's own public materials.
  5. Every market we publish is one the business itself says it serves.
  6. Any turnaround time we publish is stated publicly by the business. We do not publish one on request alone.

We do not verify insurance, licensing, pricing or quality, and verified does not mean we recommend anyone.

Images on listing cards

This is a directory of photographers, so every card shows one of your photos. If you have sent us an image, we use that one. Otherwise we use the preview image your own website publishes for link sharing, the og:image tag, and where that is a logo or missing, one property photo published on your own website. It is cached on our servers so your bandwidth is not spent on our traffic, and the card links back to you. We record where each image came from and when we fetched it.

We only use images from your own website, never from your social accounts or third-party sites, and never stock or AI-generated images. If you would rather we used a different image, or none at all, tell us through the corrections and removal page and we will change it. We do not ask why.

What we will not publish

Paid placement

The founding featured listing costs $29 for the first year and is limited to the first 25 approved photographers. Photographers already listed in the directory have been reviewed and can upgrade directly through our Stripe-hosted payment page. New applicants are asked to pay only after we have reviewed and approved the listing, and only through a Stripe-hosted payment page. We never ask for card details on this site. Paying does not buy a verified badge: the criteria above apply either way.

The founding fee is a one-time payment covering 12 months from approval. It does not renew automatically. At least 30 days before the 12 months end, we will email you the renewal price, and you choose whether to continue; if you do nothing, the listing returns to a free basic listing. You can request a full refund within 14 days of payment. If we remove a featured listing early for any reason other than a breach of these terms, we refund the unused months pro rata.

Applying

Use the list your business page. Free listings, claims, corrections and removals all go through the same form, and corrections and removals are always free.
