Google Vacation Rentals optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google Vacation Rentals. I check that your property appears with accurate rates, availability and content on Google Vacation Rentals and TripAdvisor, and that your direct link is the one travelers click.
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.
Indianapolis sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. 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 other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Indianapolis.
I check what Google shows for your property and review the feed that supplies it through your channel manager.
I review the TripAdvisor listing so the property reads as well there as on your booking channels.
Your direct link should win when your rate is competitive. I align your site, rates and booking path with what Google and TripAdvisor show.
Each channel is mapped through your channel manager with explicit markups, and I check parity and availability after changes.
“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.
Travelers often start on Google, and what it shows decides which platform they end up on. If your direct link is accurate and competitive it can win the booking before commission is involved, which is why I treat Google and TripAdvisor as part of the pricing job.
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.
A new Google Vacation Rentals listing
You have just connected Google Vacation Rentals 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 Google Vacation Rentals.
Commission without much return
You pay Google Vacation Rentals commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Google Vacation Rentals and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Google Vacation Rentals listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.

Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Google Vacation Rentals and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.

|---|---|---|

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
