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 The Dordogne: Sarlat and the castles of the Dordogne valley; Lascaux and the prehistoric caves of the Vézère; Canoeing and village markets; British second-home and gîte tradition. Guests I price for: British, Dutch and French families on weekly gîte and villa stays with pools. Where I start: Saturday-to-Saturday summer weeks, pool premiums and shoulder floors.
The Dordogne sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb, Abritel/Vrbo and Gîtes de France. For hotels and chambres d'hôtes in the Dordogne I work on short-season pricing, tour groups and couples' stays in the shoulders, using lessons from my time running revenue in larger hotels where each guest type needed its own rules and timing.
The service in general is described on my expedia optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in The Dordogne.
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 reaches American and other long-haul visitors who include the Dordogne in a wider France trip, often between Bordeaux and the Loire. I make sure room mapping is correct, package rates stay fenced and the content explains how to reach the hotel by car from Bordeaux or Bergerac, because public transport is limited.
My first change is to rewrite the arrival section around the drive from Bordeaux and Bergerac airports, then add package rates for June and September.
Families fill the gîtes. I hold Saturday changeovers, price the weeks of French and Dutch holiday overlap highest and watch bookings week by week.
Warm days, wine harvest around Bergerac and walnut season attract couples. I keep weekly rates firm in September and ease in October with short breaks.
The busiest part, with Sarlat's market and the castles of the valley. I price highest here and expect full weeks through the summer.
My full The Dordogne calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for The Dordogne.
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!
