💡 Pro Tip — Writing Great Titles

Great titles mention the most distinctive feature first: view, location, or unique amenity. Avoid generic phrases like "Cozy Retreat" — instead: "Oceanfront Villa with Private Dock, sleeps 10." Listings with specific, descriptive titles receive up to 40% more clicks.

💡 Veteran Traveler Tip

Listings within 20 miles of a military installation perform significantly better on the TVA platform. If you're near a base, add it to "Nearest Military Base" — veterans and active-duty members frequently search by proximity to base.

Photography Guidelines
✅ Best Practices

Use natural daylight when possible. Shoot in landscape orientation. Clean & declutter before photographing. Capture all rooms, outdoor areas, and unique features. Minimum 1200×800px resolution.

❌ Avoid

Blurry or dark images. Vertical "portrait" phone shots. Cluttered spaces. Misleading angles that exaggerate size. Stock photos. TVA reserves the right to remove non-compliant photos.

Video Tour (Optional)
Optional — listings with video tours see 25% more bookings
