View Case StudiesA snapshot of where LikeHome stands in the AI search era — and the opportunity cost of the current gap.
Glenn, LikeHome offers property owners a genuine hands-off Airbnb management solution with competitive pricing — but right now your brand is completely invisible when property owners ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AIO, or Gemini which management company to hire. Competitors like Houst (DR 55), Hometime (DR 50), and MadeComfy (DR 44) are winning the AI recommendation war with 50–70× more domain authority — before prospects ever land on your website or hear about your services.
We tested how LikeHome appears when property owners ask AI tools to recommend Airbnb management companies in Sydney and across Australia.
ChatGPT recommends MadeComfy, Hometime, KozyGuru, and Houst for Australian Airbnb management. LikeHome does not appear in any tested recommendations.
Google AIO features Hometime, MadeComfy, KozyGuru, HomeHost, and AirKeeper across all tested queries. LikeHome absent from every AI Overview snippet.
Perplexity defaults to brands with strong Trustpilot reviews and comparison content. LikeHome has no presence in Perplexity's recommendation engine.
Gemini favours brands with strong review profiles, structured content, and national coverage. LikeHome is not surfaced in any property management queries.
0 / 4 platforms currently surface LikeHome in relevant AI-generated recommendations. You are completely invisible in the AI search layer.
Structured authority content, Trustpilot and Google reviews at scale, city-specific landing pages, comparison content, transparent pricing pages, and consistent brand signals across third-party directories — all of which your top competitors currently have.
We ran the exact searches your prospective property owners use when asking AI tools to recommend an Airbnb management company. Here's who appeared — and whether LikeHome was in the answer.
LikeHome is absent from every single tested query across all AI platforms. The same 5–6 competitors appear repeatedly: Hometime, MadeComfy, KozyGuru, Houst, and AirKeeper. These brands have built the content infrastructure and authority signals that AI models rely on to make recommendations.
LikeHome's competitive pricing (18% + GST with no lock-in contracts) and bilingual service capability are genuine differentiators. These just need to be structured in formats AI models can find and cite — city-specific pages, comparison content, and review signals. This gap is entirely closable within 60–90 days.
These are the companies currently winning AI recommendations in your market. Understanding why they're cited — and you're not — reveals the exact gap to close.
| Company | DR | ChatGPT | Google AIO | Perplexity | Why They Win |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LikeHome You | 1 | Not Cited | Not Appearing | Not Cited | Audit target |
| Houst | 55 | Cited | Appearing | Cited | World's largest Airbnb manager (29 cities), extensive comparison blog content, city-specific landing pages for every market, and strong Trustpilot review profile. |
| Hometime | 50 | Cited | Appearing | Cited | Award-winning (Australia's Best STR Manager 2026), "30% more revenue" messaging AI models quote, strong media presence and tech-driven positioning. |
| MadeComfy | 44 | Cited | Appearing | Partial | Official Airbnb partner in Australia, "83% more revenue" claim frequently cited by AI, 1,200+ Trustpilot reviews, and end-to-end service positioning. |
| AirKeeper | 34 | Partial | Appearing | Partial | Licensed real estate agent (trust signal), official Airbnb partner, strong city-specific pages and transparent pricing content. |
| KozyGuru | 8 | Partial | Appearing | Not Cited | Multi-city landing pages (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast), strong Google Business presence, and dynamic pricing optimisation messaging. |

These are the highest-leverage changes LikeHome can make right now to start appearing in AI-generated recommendations within 30–90 days.
Create dedicated, content-rich pages for "Airbnb Management Sydney", "Short-Term Rental Management Melbourne", and key suburbs. Include structured FAQs, transparent pricing (your 18% + GST is competitive), owner testimonials, and revenue data. This is the exact format AI models pull from when recommending local providers — and it's how KozyGuru (DR 8) is beating you despite similar domain authority.
With only 31 referring domains and DR 1, the single biggest blocker to AI visibility is authority. Get listed on every Airbnb management comparison site (Airbtics, Enso Connect, SydneyReview), property investment directories, local business directories, and industry publications. Target 100+ new referring domains in 90 days to move DR from 1 to 15–20.
MadeComfy has 1,200+ Trustpilot reviews; LikeHome has minimal review presence outside Airbnb. Launch a systematic review collection campaign from existing property owners on Trustpilot and Google Business. AI models heavily weight third-party review signals when deciding which brands to recommend — this is a trust multiplier.
This audit shows the problem. We have a clear strategy to fix it — and results typically show within the first 60 days of engagement.
LikeHome has competitive pricing, a no-lock-in model, and genuine hands-off management that property owners want. The gap isn't quality — it's visibility. We've helped brands across Australia and beyond close exactly this kind of gap. A 30-minute call is all it takes to map out a plan.
