Google Hotel Ads optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google. I set up your Google Business Profile, free booking links and Hotel Ads, and make sure your direct booking path is competitive.
What I plan around in Anchorage: Cruise and rail tourism; Summer fishing and Denali trips; Iditarod in March; Northern Lights travel in winter. Guests I price for: International and domestic summer travellers on 2 to 5 night stays, oil and government travel year-round. Where I start: A short, high summer peak, cruise-day rates, and winter floors.
Anchorage sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. From my five-star hotel career I help Alaska hotels and lodges balance tour operator allotments with independent travellers, fence the summer peak, and plan winter around business, government and aurora visitors so the property is not empty for seven months.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Anchorage.
Your profile is often the first thing a traveler sees. I complete it, correct the details and keep rates and availability accurate.
Free booking links cost nothing to appear in. I set them up, then judge whether paid Hotel Ads are worth it for your hotel.
A click only helps if the booking path converts. I review your site and engine against the OTAs and fix what loses the guest.
Reviews on these sites travel with the property. I set up a routine to collect and answer them consistently.
“Alaska is a four-month business with a long tail. From mid-May to mid-September, cruise and rail passengers, fishing trips and Denali travellers fill Anchorage quickly, often with short one to three-night stays between legs of a trip. Outside summer, Northern Lights visitors, the Iditarod and oil and government work keep some demand alive. I price the summer tightly and build winter around longer stays.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Northern Lights visitors and Fur Rondy in late February give some weekends life, so I price them modestly and keep weekly rates for oil and medical workers.
The Iditarod ceremonial start downtown lifts the first weekend of March, so I price it as an event and keep the rest of the month moderate.
Break-up season keeps visitors away, so I offer longer stays and open the summer calendar with full rates for early planners.
Cruise and rail travellers, anglers and Denali trips fill the season, so I hold full rates and allow short stays between legs of a trip.
Autumn colour and the first Northern Lights bring a few visitors, so I lower floors gradually and price the holidays for visiting families.
Google shows your hotel, your rates and your OTAs side by side, and the direct link only wins if it is accurate and competitive. A modest amount of careful setup here is the cheapest way I know to move bookings off commission-heavy channels.
Open mid-May to mid-September early at full rates, since international summer visitors plan months ahead.
Allow 1 and 2-night stays around cruise and rail connection days, priced above a normal weeknight.
Price Iditarod start weekend in March as a winter premium.
Offer weekly and monthly winter rates for oil, medical and government workers.
Charge for features Alaskan guests value, such as parking, gear storage and flexible check-in.
A new Google listing
You have just connected Google and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Google.
Commission without much return
You pay Google commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Google and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Google listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Google: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Google account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Google and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Google Hotel Ads optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Google Hotel Ads optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Google Hotel Ads | Quoted |
