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 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, one to one, remotely and in Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3). In Jeddah, I price Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha as the peak and June to September as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Other OTA optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types.

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 Jeddah: Jeddah Season and Red Sea Film Festival; Saudi Arabian Grand Prix; Umrah and pilgrimage travel; Red Sea beach and diving. Guests I price for: Domestic and GCC families, pilgrims on multi-night stays, and event travellers. Where I start: Event and Ramadan-season pricing, family-size positioning, and licensed short-stay compliance.
Jeddah sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Gathern and Expedia. I set up Gathern, Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia so prices and stay rules match everywhere. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I configure Hijri-based seasons that move each year, extra-guest pricing for big families and weekend rules for Thursday and Friday nights, so the automation reflects how Saudi guests travel.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Jeddah.
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.
“Jeddah combines events, the Red Sea and pilgrimage travel. Jeddah Season, the Grand Prix and the Red Sea Film Festival create peaks, and Umrah travel rises around Ramadan. Families need larger homes. Licensing and local channels like Gathern matter. Many families travel together and need space, so larger homes with parking can hold a premium, especially over Eid and school holidays.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Pleasant weather brings domestic weekend breaks, so I price Thursday and Friday nights higher and load the Formula 1 weekend on the Corniche circuit as a premium once dates are confirmed.
Umrah travellers stay several nights, so I offer multi-night pricing, keep check-in times flexible around travel to Makkah, and push rate hardest in the final ten nights.
Families travel in large groups, so I price bigger homes and villas at their highest, set minimum stays across the holiday and open these dates early.
Humid heat dims leisure demand, so I lower floors, price any Jeddah Season events on their own dates, and offer monthly stays for workers and relocating families.
Cooler months bring travel back, and the Red Sea International Film Festival adds a December spike, so I raise rates near the historic district and the Corniche.
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 Jeddah Season, Grand Prix and Red Sea Film Festival as premiums.
Price Ramadan and Umrah periods for pilgrims.
Price larger family homes by capacity.

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 Jeddah, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Jeddah sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Gathern and Expedia. Ramadan: Umrah travellers stay several nights, so I offer multi-night pricing, keep check-in times flexible around travel to Makkah, and push rate hardest in the final ten nights.
Busiest in Jeddah: Jeddah Season, Formula 1 weekend, Eid holidays, and Umrah travel around Ramadan. January to March: Pleasant weather brings domestic weekend breaks, so I price Thursday and Friday nights higher and load the Formula 1 weekend on the Corniche circuit as a premium once dates are confirmed. Ramadan: Umrah travellers stay several nights, so I offer multi-night pricing, keep check-in times flexible around travel to Makkah, and push rate hardest in the final ten nights. 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 Jeddah. Domestic and GCC families, pilgrims on multi-night stays, and event travellers. Demand is driven by Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and Umrah and pilgrimage travel.
Al Balad: The historic heart and film festival setting; I price restored and character homes for culture visitors and keep stays short for guests exploring the old town. Obhur and Al Hamra and Al Rawdah 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 Jeddah 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 Jeddah traveler clicks. Confirm Ministry of Tourism licensing. Next: price Ramadan and Umrah periods for pilgrims.
How easy the trip to Makkah is and whether the listing explains it, because Umrah guests compare travel time, the Haramain train stations and check-in flexibility before they 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.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Jeddah, this is how I would approach it.

Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Jeddah Season, Grand Prix and Red Sea Film Festival as premiums.
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 Jeddah I would start from January to March: Pleasant weather brings domestic weekend breaks, so I price Thursday and Friday nights higher and load the Formula 1 weekend on the Corniche circuit as a premium once dates are confirmed. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Jeddah.
Yes.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Jeddah the first gains from Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Ramadan and Umrah periods for pilgrims. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
