In Crested Butte, I price Christmas to March and July to August as the peak and April to May (mud season) as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

Airbnb listing optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Airbnb. I rewrite the title and description around how guests search, choose and order photos, and tune amenities and booking settings so Airbnb ranks the listing higher.
What I plan around in Crested Butte: Crested Butte Mountain Resort skiing; The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival; Summer mountain biking and hiking; Western Colorado University events in Gunnison. Guests I price for: Skiers and mountain-biking couples and families on 4 to 7 night stays in Mt. Crested Butte and the historic town, plus Gunnison university visitors. Where I start: Sharp winter and mid-summer twin peaks around deep spring and autumn off-seasons, week-long ski minimums, and wildflower-season premiums.
Crested Butte sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I build a ski curve and a summer curve separately, add Fat Tire Bike Week, the Wildflower Festival and holidays as custom events, set gap rules between ski stays, and switch to monthly settings in the mud seasons.
The service in general is described on my airbnb listing optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Crested Butte.
Airbnb reads your title, summary and details to decide which searches you appear in. I research how guests in your market search and write to match.
Guests decide in seconds. I pick the cover that wins the click, order the gallery as a story and caption the features guests care about.
Missing amenities cost filters and strict rules cost conversion. I audit every toggle and set the combination that converts without adding risk.
Ratings, response and acceptance rates and review recency all feed ranking. I set up review requests and reply templates so those signals keep improving.
“Crested Butte is remote, which means guests stay longer and seasons are sharp. Winter skiing and the July Wildflower Festival with mountain biking are the two peaks, and the mud seasons are very quiet. I set week-long ski stays and price wildflower season as a premium summer.”

Opening day and early-season snow are uncertain, so I price these weeks moderately with shorter minimums and wait for the snow report before lifting rates.
Holiday weeks and Presidents' Day carry the year in winter, and I lean on Epic Pass travel and spring-break weeks in March to keep rates firm deep into the season.
Lifts close and trails are muddy, so I switch to monthly stays for seasonal workers and remote workers, and plan maintenance in the quiet weeks.
Fat Tire Bike Week and early wildflowers bring riders back, so I set three-night weekend minimums and lift rates for homes close to the trailheads and Elk Avenue.
The Wildflower Festival, the Crested Butte Music Festival and summer family travel fill both towns, so I price the festival weeks highest and protect long summer bookings.
Aspen colour on Kebler Pass brings strong September weekends; after that, I let rates fall toward floors and focus on monthly stays until the lifts reopen.
A listing that ranks but is priced badly wastes the visibility, and a well-priced listing nobody sees earns nothing. I optimize the listing for search and conversion first, then tune the pricing around the traffic it earns.
Use 5 to 7-night minimums over ski holiday weeks.
Price the Wildflower Festival in July as a summer premium.
Price Mt. Crested Butte slope-side homes above town homes in winter.
Use 3-night summer minimums for biking guests.
Set low mud-season floors.
A new Airbnb listing
You have just connected Airbnb 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 Airbnb.
Commission without much return
You pay Airbnb commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Airbnb and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Airbnb listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Airbnb: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Airbnb 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 Airbnb and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Airbnb 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 | Airbnb optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Airbnb | Quoted |

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.

Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Christmas to March: Holiday weeks and Presidents' Day carry the year in winter, and I lean on Epic Pass travel and spring-break weeks in March to keep rates firm deep into the season.
