How does BnBDetector work?

Using BnBDetector is straightforward and takes just a few seconds. Here is how the process works from start to finish:

Step 1 - Enter an address. Type or paste the address of the building or area you want to investigate into the search bar. BnBDetector supports addresses worldwide.

Step 2 - Scan nearby listings. Once you submit the address, our system locates the property and scans active short-term rental listings in the surrounding area.

Step 3 - BnBIndex score generation. Based on the nearby listing count, BnBDetector generates a BnBIndex score between 0 and 100. This score tells you at a glance how much short-term rental activity is present in and around the building.

Step 4 - Instant report delivery. Within seconds, you receive a clear report with the BnBIndex score, the number of active Airbnbs nearby, an area category (such as "Local Haven," "Residential Core," "Mixed Community," or "BnB Dominated"), a plain-language verdict, and an activity scale. When available, the report also shows when the data was last checked.

Each address check uses one report from your plan. Reports are saved to your account so you can revisit them at any time.
