Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
What I plan around in Indianapolis: Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard events; Gen Con; Colts and Pacers seasons; Conventions and NCAA tournaments. Guests I price for: Event travellers on 2 to 4 night stays, convention attendees midweek. Where I start: Indy 500 and Gen Con premiums set a year ahead, and convention-calendar pricing.
For Indianapolis hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you: event dates loaded a year ahead, minimum stays for the big weeks, and weekday rates between events, with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com kept consistent so event guests see one price.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Indianapolis.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“Indianapolis has two dates every owner should know by heart: the Indy 500 in late May and Gen Con in August. Both fill the city and can be priced a year ahead. Conventions and NCAA events add more, and Colts games fill autumn weekends. Between events, weekdays depend on business travel.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Outside conventions, demand is quiet; I lower weekend floors, keep weekday business rates steady and price big convention dates individually.
College basketball tournaments and spring conventions fill downtown; I price tournament weekends as premiums and keep two-night minimums near Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The whole month of May builds toward race day; I price qualifying weekends above ordinary May and race weekend highest, with long minimum stays near the Speedway.
Summer concerts and the Brickyard weekend lift some dates; I price those as premiums and keep other summer weekdays on business and leisure rates.
Gen Con fills downtown for several days; I price homes within a walk of the Convention Center highest and set minimum stays that cover all four convention days.
Colts games, the National FFA Convention, marching band championships and holiday events keep demand steady; I price each event weekend individually.
Price Indy 500 weekend as the top band, opened a year ahead with long stays.
Price Gen Con week as a second top band for homes near downtown.
Add NCAA tournaments and big conventions as premiums.
Add Colts home games for nearby homes.
Set weekday corporate rates between events.
One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | Core +35% |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | Core +75% |
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!

Busiest in Indianapolis: Indy 500 in late May, Gen Con in August, Colts season and NCAA events. March to April: College basketball tournaments and spring conventions fill downtown; I price tournament weekends as premiums and keep two-night minimums near Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse. May: The whole month of May builds toward race day; I price qualifying weekends above ordinary May and race weekend highest, with long minimum stays near the Speedway. For Airbnb revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the listing shows walking distance to the Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium and the Speedway, because event guests choose on that convenience first.
Price Indy 500 weekend as the top band, opened a year ahead with long stays. Next: add NCAA tournaments and big conventions as premiums. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Indianapolis property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Indianapolis: January to February. June to July: Summer concerts and the Brickyard weekend lift some dates; I price those as premiums and keep other summer weekdays on business and leisure rates. January to February: Outside conventions, demand is quiet; I lower weekend floors, keep weekday business rates steady and price big convention dates individually.
Indy 500 and Gen Con booked early at normal rates and short stays that break event weeks. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Indianapolis, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Indianapolis, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Indianapolis sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. May: The whole month of May builds toward race day; I price qualifying weekends above ordinary May and race weekend highest, with long minimum stays near the Speedway.
Fountain Square and Fletcher Place: Character neighbourhoods close to downtown suit couples and event overflow; I price slightly below downtown and lean on weekends. Downtown and Mass Ave and Speedway get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Conventions and NCAA tournaments, Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard events and Gen Con are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Indianapolis. September to December: Colts games, the National FFA Convention, marching band championships and holiday events keep demand steady; I price each event weekend individually.

Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue. The scope of Airbnb revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Indianapolis I would start from August: Gen Con fills downtown for several days; I price homes within a walk of the Convention Center highest and set minimum stays that cover all four convention days.
