I run CohostingWithMac, a remote co-hosting agency helping short-term rental hosts fix underperforming listings and hand off day-to-day operations entirely. My work covers listing optimization, dynamic pricing, guest communication, reviews management, and check-in/checkout coordination, delivered remotely for hosts across North America, the UK, and beyond. Key Responsibilities: Listing Optimization & SEO: Auditing and rebuilding underperforming listings, titles, descriptions, photo sequencing, and positioning to fix ranking and booking conversion. Guest Communication & Reviews: Managing end-to-end guest messaging and building review-generation systems that turn stays into 5-star ratings. Pricing & Revenue Strategy: Setting and adjusting pricing to improve occupancy and ADR without sacrificing guest quality. Full Operations Coverage: Handling check-ins, check-outs, cleanings coordination, and claims so hosts stay fully hands-off. Achievements: Took a Milton, ON listing from 0 reviews to Guest Favourite status (top 5%, 5.0 rating) in just 3 months. Delivered full listing audits and reposition strategies for hosts across the US, UK, and internationally. Manage a Montreal-based short-term rental as a live case study for the strategies I recommend to clients. Whether you need a quick audit or complete hands-off management, I'll show you exactly what's costing you bookings, then fix it.
