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 Athens, Georgia: Georgia Bulldogs football at Sanford Stadium; University of Georgia graduation and parents' weekends; The Athens music and downtown scene; AthFest in June. Guests I price for: Bulldogs fans and alumni on 2 to 3 night game weekends, UGA families, and music visitors. Where I start: Home-game premiums tiered by opponent, graduation pricing, and summer floors.
Athens, Georgia sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Hotels in Athens, Georgia juggle Sanford Stadium compression, two commencements a year and Classic Center conferences that want the same rooms. I help decide which conference blocks to accept on contested dates, set deposits and minimum stays for home games, and plan June and July around orientation, AthFest and university visitors.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Athens, Georgia.
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.
Many guests heading to Athens, Georgia compare hotels on Google first, whether for a game, a show at the Georgia Theatre or a session at the Classic Center. I review the Business Profile for parking, walking time to campus and downtown photos, turn on free booking links and see whether the direct website wins the price comparison against the OTAs on home weekends.
My opening check is whether the hotel's own rate shows on Google for the next Sanford Stadium Saturday, and whether it matches what the OTAs display.
Basketball at Stegeman Coliseum and events at the Classic Center bring scattered weekends, so I price those dates individually and keep weekdays at winter floors.
Spring break empties campus for a week, which I price down, while G-Day and the Twilight Criterium lift April weekends sharply.
Walkable to campus, the Georgia Theatre and the bars; I price football and concerts both, with short stays allowed for music visitors outside game weekends.
My full Athens, Georgia calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Athens, Georgia.
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.
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 |

May: Commencement fills hotels and rentals for a short window, so I open those dates early, hold two or three night minimums and avoid last-minute discounts.
