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 Dubrovnik, Croatia, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Dubrovnik, I price June to August as the peak and November to March 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 Dubrovnik: Old Town and city-walls tourism; Dubrovnik Summer Festival; Cruise calls; Wedding and honeymoon travel. Guests I price for: International couples on 3 to 5 night stays in the Old Town, Lapad and Ploče. Where I start: High-season premiums with minimum stays, view positioning, and off-season floors.
Dubrovnik sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. For Dubrovnik hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with view and location premiums, festival and cruise-day uplifts, firm summer minimums and a planned shoulder, keeping Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo in line so no channel undersells the summer weeks or the September honeymoon dates.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Dubrovnik.
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.
“Dubrovnik is compact, popular and seasonal. The Old Town fills from May to October, with July and August highest, and cruise traffic is now limited by the city. Views of the walls or the sea decide most of the price difference. Winter is quiet.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Many owners close, but the Winter Festival and Advent keep a few guests. I either close with intent or set low, steady rates for longer stays and slow travellers.
Spring couples and early cruise days start the season. I price weekends and cruise-heavy days higher and keep minimums short to attract early visitors.
The Summer Festival from mid-July and the busiest cruise days push demand. I open summer dates early with four night minimums and firm view premiums.
Warm seas and quieter streets suit couples and honeymooners. I step rates down weekly through October and shorten minimums gradually.
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.
Price July and August as the top season with minimum stays.
Add the Dubrovnik Summer Festival as a premium.
Price sea and Old Town views clearly higher.
Price Lapad and Ploče on separate comps.
Set off-season floors.
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 Dubrovnik, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Dubrovnik sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. November to March: Many owners close, but the Winter Festival and Advent keep a few guests. I either close with intent or set low, steady rates for longer stays and slow travellers.
Busiest in Dubrovnik: May to October, with July and August the highest and cruise-ship days adding pressure. June to August: The Summer Festival from mid-July and the busiest cruise days push demand. I open summer dates early with four night minimums and firm view premiums. September to October: Warm seas and quieter streets suit couples and honeymooners. I step rates down weekly through October and shorten minimums gradually.

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 Dubrovnik. International couples on 3 to 5 night stays in the Old Town, Lapad and Ploče. Demand is driven by Dubrovnik Summer Festival and Cruise calls.
Old Town: Inside the walls, where every stay is close to the sights. I price at the top, protect festival dates and set clear minimum stays in summer. Ploče and Pile and Lapad and Babin Kuk 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 Dubrovnik the property is in.

Whether the listing names the exact view, walls, sea or Lokrum, because a vague mention of a view undersells what is often the main reason guests book. 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.
