In Ericeira, I price June to September as the peak and April to May 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 Ericeira: Ericeira World Surfing Reserve; Nazare big-wave season at Praia do Norte; Peniche surf breaks; Obidos walled town and festivals. Guests I price for: surfers and coastal travellers on 4 to 7 night stays in Ericeira, Peniche and the villages of the Costa de Prata. Where I start: a near year-round surf calendar that fills the winter big-wave months, AL registration along the Silver Coast, and swell-driven pricing rather than a simple summer peak.
Ericeira sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. I set up your pricing so surf season, summer weeks and festival dates sit in separate bands, with weekly and monthly offers for surfers and remote workers. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia all share the same rules and AL details.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Ericeira.
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.
“Ericeira and the Silver Coast are surf markets, which makes them almost year-round. Summer brings beach families, while October to March brings the Nazaré big-wave season and serious surfers. The quiet gap is spring. I price by swell season as much as by summer.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor.
The quiet weeks between surf and beach seasons are my focus for longer-stay offers, so I add weekly and monthly discounts and target remote workers and surf schools.
Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches.
The swell season returns and the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge can be called at short notice, so I keep some flexibility and lift prices when a big swell is forecast.
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 Ericeira, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Ericeira sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. January to March: Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor.
Busiest in Ericeira: June to September for the beaches and October to March for the Nazare big-wave swells. June to September: Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches. October to December: The swell season returns and the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge can be called at short notice, so I keep some flexibility and lift prices when a big swell is forecast. 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 Ericeira. Surfers and coastal travellers on 4 to 7 night stays in Ericeira, Peniche and the villages of the Costa de Prata. Demand is driven by Nazare big-wave season at Praia do Norte and Peniche surf breaks.
Ericeira: A World Surfing Reserve with Ribeira d'Ilhas and Foz do Lizandro; I price it for surfers in winter and families in summer, with strong weekend demand. Peniche and Baleal and Nazaré and Óbidos 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 Ericeira 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 Ericeira traveler clicks. Keep AL registration current. Next: price October to March for surf visitors, especially near Nazaré.
Whether the listing mentions board storage, outdoor showers and drying space, because surfers value these details and often choose one house over another because of them. 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 Ericeira, this is how I would approach it. com, Vrbo and Expedia all share the same rules and AL details. I set up your pricing so surf season, summer weeks and festival dates sit in separate bands, with weekly and monthly offers for surfers and remote workers. We start in the chat, and I confirm the scope and the price before any work begins.

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 Ericeira I would start from January to March: Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Ericeira.
