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 Brasov: Bran Castle and its Dracula legend; Peles Castle at Sinaia and the medieval citadel of Sighisoara; skiing at Poiana Brasov and driving the Transfagarasan road; the Gothic Black Church and the cafes of Piata Sfatului in Brasov. Guests I price for: International castle-and-mountain tourists in summer and central-European skiers in winter, based in Brasov's old town and around Sinaia. Where I start: Working a summer touring peak alongside a winter ski season, layering castle-tour and holiday premiums, and holding the tourism classification certificate required for Romanian lets.
Brasov sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. For guesthouses and boutique hotels in Transylvania, I bring the segmentation habits of a five-star chain: coach-tour allotments kept in check, direct and OTA rates aligned, and a comp set drawn from properties guests actually compare along the Bran and Sinaia routes.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Brasov.
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.
“Brașov and Transylvania combine summer castle and mountain touring with winter skiing at Poiana Brașov. International visitors tour Bran and Peleș, and central Europeans ski in winter. Romania requires a tourism classification certificate. Many visitors are on a multi-stop tour of castles and towns, so two-night stays and good parking suit the market better than long minimums.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Ski weekends at Poiana Brasov carry the season, so I charge more for Friday and Saturday arrivals near the slopes and keep the Christmas to Orthodox New Year stretch as one protected block.
Snow fades and castle coaches have not started in earnest. I accept single nights in the old town and lean on Easter and the May bank holidays for local Romanian demand.
Touring season and the Transfagarasan opening bring drivers from all over Europe. I open these weeks with firm rates and treat the Sighisoara medieval festival weekend in July as its own premium date.
Autumn colour in the Carpathians and Halloween events at Bran keep demand healthy. I hold rates through early October and only soften midweek nights once the coaches thin out.
The gap between touring and skiing is the softest month. I lower the floor modestly, offer longer stays to remote workers and keep the December weekends closed to discounting.
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.
Price June to September for castle touring.
Price December to February ski weeks.
Use 2-night minimums for touring guests.
Price old town homes higher.
Keep the classification certificate current.
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 |
