Expedia optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Expedia. I optimize your Partner Central setup once so Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz and the other group brands all benefit.
What I plan around in Lake Ohrid: Ohrid old town and UNESCO lake; Ohrid Summer Festival; Regional and diaspora summer travel; Struga and Saint Naum. Guests I price for: Balkan, diaspora and European visitors on 3 to 7 night summer stays. Where I start: Summer peak pricing, diaspora August demand and local registration and tourist tax.
Lake Ohrid sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. For hotels I work on pricing for regional and diaspora families, tour groups in the shoulders and festival nights in summer. I check how breakfast and half board are sold and whether group contracts leave room for higher-paying August guests.
The service in general is described on my expedia optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Ohrid.
Expedia scores completeness and quality. I bring the content score up, write room descriptions that sell and align facts with your other channels.
I order the gallery for the search card and the property page, and flag the shots that are losing you clicks.
Expedia rewards competitive, well-structured rates. I set rate plans, member-only pricing and promotions, and judge whether Accelerator or TravelAds earns its cost.
Guest scores and response behaviour affect placement. I set up review requests and responses, and fix the operational causes behind low scores.
Expedia brings a modest flow of international travellers to Ohrid, often on Balkan trips that include Albania or Greece. I check room mapping, keep any package rates fenced and make sure the content explains the distance from Ohrid airport and the drive from Skopje. Hotels.com should show identical room names and policies.
I begin with a mapping check in Partner Central and add clear notes on the airport and the road from Skopje.
Diaspora families, regional visitors and festival guests make August the year's top month. I open it early and price every week close to its ceiling.
Warm days and quieter streets suit couples and European tour groups. I ease rates slowly and use short stays to catch weekend visitors.
Close to Kaneo, the fortress and the festival stages, so old-town stays earn the highest summer rates. I price stairs and parking honestly to avoid poor reviews.
My full Lake Ohrid calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Lake Ohrid.
Expedia sells your inventory across several brands, and most of them read the same Partner Central data. That is why I do the setup carefully once: a complete profile and a sound rate structure improve placement across the group, and the promotions you choose decide how much of that visibility you pay for.
A new Expedia listing
You have just connected Expedia 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 Expedia.
Commission without much return
You pay Expedia commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Expedia and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Expedia listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Expedia: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Expedia 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 Expedia and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Expedia 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 | Expedia optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Expedia | Quoted |

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!
