Expedia optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Expedia. I optimize your Partner Central setup once so Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz and the other group brands all benefit.
What I plan around in Davos: World Economic Forum annual meeting; Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas; Spengler Cup ice hockey at New Year; Summer hiking and congresses. Guests I price for: WEF delegates and companies on week-long bookings, ski families and congress visitors. Where I start: WEF week contracting a year ahead, ski-week pricing and cantonal guest tax.
Davos sells mostly through Direct corporate rentals, Booking.com and Airbnb. For hotels in Davos and Klosters I work on WEF and congress contracts, Spengler Cup and ski packages, group policies and the summer congress calendar. Years in five-star chain hotels taught me how to write delegation contracts with attrition and deposit clauses, which matters more here than in any other Alpine resort.
The service in general is described on my expedia optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Davos.
Expedia scores completeness and quality. I bring the content score up, write room descriptions that sell and align facts with your other channels.
I order the gallery for the search card and the property page, and flag the shots that are losing you clicks.
Expedia rewards competitive, well-structured rates. I set rate plans, member-only pricing and promotions, and judge whether Accelerator or TravelAds earns its cost.
Guest scores and response behaviour affect placement. I set up review requests and responses, and fix the operational causes behind low scores.
Expedia matters for Davos mainly through British and American skiers, who often buy flights and hotel together, and through travellers who add the Glacier Express or a stay in St. Moritz to the same trip. I check that package rates stay fenced, that room mapping is clean, and that Partner Central explains the rail journey from Zurich via Landquart and the walk to the nearest lift.
I start by confirming WEF dates are closed or correctly restricted on Expedia, then rewrite the content around ski access and the train connection.
Lifts close and much of the resort pauses, so I keep low rates for congress guests and long stays or close the property for maintenance.
Hiking, biking and congresses bring summer guests, so I price weeks and long weekends moderately and include the guest card benefits in the listing.
Close to the congress centre, Jakobshorn and the WEF zone, this area carries the highest WEF and congress value, so I price conference weeks separately from ski weeks.
My full Davos calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Davos.
Expedia sells your inventory across several brands, and most of them read the same Partner Central data. That is why I do the setup carefully once: a complete profile and a sound rate structure improve placement across the group, and the promotions you choose decide how much of that visibility you pay for.
A new Expedia listing
You have just connected Expedia 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 Expedia.
Commission without much return
You pay Expedia commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Expedia and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Expedia listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Expedia: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Expedia 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 Expedia and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Expedia 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 | Expedia optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Expedia | Quoted |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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.
Property manager
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!

For Expedia optimization for hotels in Davos, i optimize Expedia alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Davos sells mostly through Direct corporate rentals, Booking.com and Airbnb. June to October: Hiking, biking and congresses bring summer guests, so I price weeks and long weekends moderately and include the guest card benefits in the listing.
Busiest in Davos: December to March, with the World Economic Forum in January the single highest week. January (WEF week): The World Economic Forum is priced as a separate contract with companies and agencies, with long rental periods, clear deposits and terms agreed well ahead. February to March: School holidays from Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands fill ski weeks, so I keep weekly rates firm and protect Saturday or Sunday changeovers. For Expedia optimization for hotels, on Expedia, I line up promotions, rate plans and content with these windows so visibility peaks when demand does.
For Expedia optimization for hotels, i write content and photo order on Expedia for the guests who actually search for Davos. WEF delegates and companies on week-long bookings, ski families and congress visitors. Demand is driven by Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas and Spengler Cup ice hockey at New Year.
Davos Platz: Close to the congress centre, Jakobshorn and the WEF zone, this area carries the highest WEF and congress value, so I price conference weeks separately from ski weeks. Davos Dorf and Klosters get their own treatment. For Expedia optimization for hotels, i write location content, photos and amenity highlights on Expedia around the specific part of Davos the property is in.
For Expedia optimization for hotels, the first changes on Expedia are content completeness and the cover photo, because those decide whether a Davos traveler clicks. Run Saturday or Sunday ski weeks in February school holidays. Next: add summer congresses and hiking weeks to keep the low months alive.
Ski access, parking and storage for skis and boots, because these features drive what ski families pay and must be shown clearly in photos and descriptions. For Expedia optimization for hotels, i check this on Expedia first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.

Expedia optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types. The scope of Expedia optimization for hotels is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Davos I would start from December to early January: Christmas, New Year and the Spengler Cup make late December the second peak after WEF, so I set the highest ski-season rates and require stays of a week or more. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Davos.
