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 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. For Crested Butte lodges and condo hotels I work on the mix of ski packages, summer festival groups and wedding blocks. I set rate fences for holiday weeks, package rules for multi-night ski stays, and a plan for the shoulder seasons when closing some inventory may beat discounting.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Crested Butte.
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.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
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.
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 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.
