Google Vacation Rentals optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google Vacation Rentals. I check that your property appears with accurate rates, availability and content on Google Vacation Rentals and TripAdvisor, and that your direct link is the one travelers click.
What I plan around in Birmingham, UK: NEC and ICC exhibitions; Frankfurt Christmas Market; Aston Villa and Birmingham City fixtures; Utilita Arena concerts. Guests I price for: Exhibition and business travellers midweek, concert and football fans at weekends. Where I start: Exhibition-week premiums, corporate midweek rates, and weekend event pricing.
Birmingham, UK sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for Birmingham hosts with NEC and ICC shows, Edgbaston matches, arena concerts and the Christmas Market as events. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo then share the same rates, with exhibitor-friendly minimum stays around the big shows.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Birmingham, UK.
I check what Google shows for your property and review the feed that supplies it through your channel manager.
I review the TripAdvisor listing so the property reads as well there as on your booking channels.
Your direct link should win when your rate is competitive. I align your site, rates and booking path with what Google and TripAdvisor show.
Each channel is mapped through your channel manager with explicit markups, and I check parity and availability after changes.
“Birmingham is exhibitions and events. NEC and ICC shows fill midweeks, and concerts, the Frankfurt Christmas Market and football fill weekends. Many guests come for one exhibition, so I price from the NEC calendar. The NEC is outside the city centre, so homes near the airport and the exhibition centre behave differently from city-centre flats. I price the two locations on separate comps.”

The Spring Fair at the NEC in February is the main exception. I price that week strongly near the NEC and keep city-centre floors realistic for the rest of winter.
Crufts in March and the spring exhibition calendar create sharp peaks near the NEC. I price each show by expected size and keep city flats on weekday business rates.
Test matches and concerts at Edgbaston, Villa Park and the arenas fill weekends. I price event weekends individually and accept shorter stays outside them.
Party conferences in some years, the Horse of the Year Show and autumn exhibitions bring strong midweek demand. I price conference weeks as premiums near the ICC and the NEC.
The Frankfurt Christmas Market and Christmas parties lift weekends in the city centre. I raise those weekends and keep weekdays priced for business travellers.
Travelers often start on Google, and what it shows decides which platform they end up on. If your direct link is accurate and competitive it can win the booking before commission is involved, which is why I treat Google and TripAdvisor as part of the pricing job.
Load NEC and ICC exhibitions and price each by size.
Add Utilita Arena concerts and the Christmas Market.
Set midweek corporate rates.
Add Aston Villa fixtures as premiums.
Lower January and February floors.

Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Google Vacation Rentals.
Commission without much return

Some listings are polished on Google Vacation Rentals and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
