Getting views but not the bookings to match?

After the hero, four straight exterior shots in a row — lounge, gathering area, dining, pool. The property’s ideal guest cares about interior design, and the gallery doesn’t show a single interior space until image five.

Interior comfort doesn’t appear until image five — by then, a design-minded guest has already decided whether to keep looking or move to a competitor’s listing.

The final image is the front of the property from the street. It breaks the story right after the one interior shot finally lands, and adds nothing new for a guest already deciding.

The exterior hero stays. It’s genuinely strong and earns the click — the problem was never the first image, it was everything after it.

A bedroom shot moves into position two, pulled forward from deeper in the gallery. For a guest who cares about interior design, this is the second image that should be doing the convincing — not a fourth patio angle.

A reading nook and a bathroom — both already shot, both buried — now appear early, building an interior-design story across four of the first five images instead of one.
