Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in Donegal, Ireland, one to one, remotely and in GMT / IST (UTC+0 / +1). In Donegal, I price June to August as the peak and November to February as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on other OTAs. I optimize your rental on Expedia and Hotels.com, Agoda, HomeToGo, Plum Guide and other platforms, one channel at a time, with parity checked.
What I plan around in Donegal: Slieve League cliffs and Glenveagh National Park; Surfing in Bundoran; Wild Atlantic Way road trips; Northern Ireland weekend visitors. Guests I price for: Irish and Northern Irish families on weekly summer stays and road-trippers. Where I start: Summer weekly rates, weekend demand from Belfast and Derry, and Ireland's short-term letting registration.
Donegal sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo. I set up the pricing tool so summer weeks hold their changeover day, the July holidays in the North sit high, and weekend rates in spring and autumn react to demand from Derry and Belfast without breaking up the summer calendar.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Donegal.
Expedia Group ranks on content score, rate competitiveness and conversion. I complete the content, structure rate plans and promotions and audit the photos.
Agoda is strong in Asia-Pacific and growing elsewhere. I rebuild your profile, rooms and promotions for its traveler.
TripAdvisor and metasearch put your listing in front of travelers early. I keep rates, availability and your direct link right.
Aggregators and curated platforms send high-value guests when a listing meets their standards. I prepare each one and connect it through your channel manager.
For Donegal rentals, the other channels worth considering are Irish self-catering agencies with long-standing repeat guests and sites popular with Northern Ireland families. I compare their commission, contract terms and bookings with what Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo already bring. An agency that sells summer weeks to loyal families can be worth keeping; one that only duplicates existing guests rarely is.
I start by asking which agencies the owner's neighbours use, then test one on spring and autumn weeks before giving it any summer dates.
Weekend demand from across the border continues and the October bank holiday adds a final lift, so I move back to short stays and gently lower midweek rates.
I keep winter floors low but bookable, aiming at surfers, walkers and couples on weekend breaks from the North, and allow two-night stays.
Surfing and the beach drive weekend demand from the North all year, so I price weekends firmly and treat summer as family weeks.
My full Donegal calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Donegal.
Not every platform pays for every property. Before adding a channel I look at your market, property type and booking mix and tell you which are likely to earn their place. Then I optimize only those, and leave the rest alone.
A new other OTAs listing
You have just connected other OTAs 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 other OTAs.
Commission without much return
You pay other OTAs commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on other OTAs and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the other OTAs listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for other OTAs: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your other OTAs 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 other OTAs and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Other OTA 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 | Other OTA optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Other OTA | 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, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Donegal, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Donegal sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo. November to February: I keep winter floors low but bookable, aiming at surfers, walkers and couples on weekend breaks from the North, and allow two-night stays.
Busiest in Donegal: June to August. June to August: Family weeks dominate and festivals such as Earagail and the one in Dungloe add pressure, so I keep changeover days and firm weekly rates. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, on other OTAs, I line up promotions, rate plans and content with these windows so visibility peaks when demand does.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i write content and photo order on other OTAs for the guests who actually search for Donegal. Irish and Northern Irish families on weekly summer stays and road-trippers. Demand is driven by Surfing in Bundoran and Wild Atlantic Way road trips.
Bundoran and the south coast: Surfing and the beach drive weekend demand from the North all year, so I price weekends firmly and treat summer as family weeks. Inishowen and Malin Head and Dunfanaghy, Gweedore and the north-west get their own treatment. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i write location content, photos and amenity highlights on other OTAs around the specific part of Donegal the property is in.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, the first changes on other OTAs are content completeness and the cover photo, because those decide whether a Donegal traveler clicks. Keep winter floors low but bookable for surfers and storm watchers on short breaks. Next: load the Northern Ireland July holiday fortnight early, since those dates fill first.
How the euro rate reads to visitors from Northern Ireland, since guests comparing in sterling notice quickly when a price looks high after conversion. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i check this on other OTAs first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Donegal, this is how I would approach it. I set up the pricing tool so summer weeks hold their changeover day, the July holidays in the North sit high, and weekend rates in spring and autumn react to demand from Derry and Belfast without breaking up the summer calendar. We start in the chat, and I confirm the scope and the price before any work begins.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i price properties for a living, so content, rates and promotions are tuned together and not in isolation. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Donegal and work remotely in GMT / IST (UTC+0 / +1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: sell July and August as Saturday-to-Saturday weeks for family homes along the coast.
Other OTA 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, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Donegal I would start from June to August: Family weeks dominate and festivals such as Earagail and the one in Dungloe add pressure, so I keep changeover days and firm weekly rates. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Donegal.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
