For building pages and listings on Hotpads, we automatically process every photo and our system algorithmically determines which photo will generate the highest number of contacts for your listing as a primary photo. Our research shows that kitchen or living room photos as primary photos typically return the highest number of responses from prospective tenants.
If our system determines that a different photo better highlights your listing, it is possible that the primary photo you set in Zillow Rental Manager is moved to the second photo on the live listing page.
