Google Hotel Ads optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google. I set up your Google Business Profile, free booking links and Hotel Ads, and make sure your direct booking path is competitive.
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 google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Ohrid.
Your profile is often the first thing a traveler sees. I complete it, correct the details and keep rates and availability accurate.
Free booking links cost nothing to appear in. I set them up, then judge whether paid Hotel Ads are worth it for your hotel.
A click only helps if the booking path converts. I review your site and engine against the OTAs and fix what loses the guest.
Reviews on these sites travel with the property. I set up a routine to collect and answer them consistently.
Returning diaspora families and regional visitors often find Ohrid hotels on Google Maps and book by phone or directly if they can. I make sure the Business Profile shows accurate photos and opening dates, free booking links are active and the direct price matches the OTAs. A small perk for direct bookers, such as free parking, can shift many summer bookings away from commission.
First I run a price accuracy check for July and August, then add a clear direct-booking offer for returning guests.
Spring brings walkers, culture visitors and Easter holidays. I raise weekend rates around Orthodox Easter and May holidays and keep weekdays modest.
The summer festival opens and the lake fills with swimmers. I lift rates for concert nights and move toward three-night minimums on lakefront stays.
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.
Google shows your hotel, your rates and your OTAs side by side, and the direct link only wins if it is accurate and competitive. A modest amount of careful setup here is the cheapest way I know to move bookings off commission-heavy channels.
A new Google listing
You have just connected Google 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.
Commission without much return
You pay Google commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Google and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Google listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Google: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Google 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 Google and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Google Hotel Ads 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 | Google Hotel Ads optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Google Hotel Ads | Quoted |

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!
