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 Carcassonne: the medieval Cite de Carcassonne; the Bastille Day Embrasement de la Cite; the Cathar castles of Montsegur and Peyrepertuse; Festival de Carcassonne. Guests I price for: heritage travellers and touring families on 2 to 4 night stays in the walled Cite and the Bastide Saint-Louis lower town. Where I start: a concentrated summer peak around the Cite and its 14 July fireworks, dispersed Cathar-castle touring, and French meuble de tourisme registration.
Carcassonne sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel. With five-star hotel experience behind me, I help Carcassonne hotels and guesthouses separate coach groups, touring couples and festival audiences, set fences for July concert nights, and choose comparisons among properties with similar Cité access rather than the whole city.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Carcassonne.
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.
“Carcassonne's summer is concentrated around the medieval Cité, with the Bastille Day fireworks over the walls as the single brightest night. The Festival de Carcassonne fills July, and touring visitors explore the Cathar castles. Winter is quiet. Many guests are touring the south of France and stay only two nights, so a well-located home near the Cité with parking can charge more than a larger home further away.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Much of the Cité is quiet and some restaurants close, so I keep rates low but steady and target weekend touring couples rather than chasing occupancy with steep cuts.
Easter and the May bank holidays bring French touring traffic, and I raise weekend rates for those dates while leaving midweek open to walkers heading for the Cathar castles.
Concert nights at the open-air theatre inside the walls and the 14 July fireworks set the ceiling, and I review the festival line-up before releasing any summer weekend at an ordinary rate.
Cooler days suit castle touring and Corbières wine visits, so I keep a two-night minimum and price close to early summer rather than falling straight to winter levels.
I hold a firm floor and add a little for Christmas weekends, since the illuminated Cité draws regional visitors who still expect fair value.
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.
