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 Lincoln: Nebraska Cornhuskers football at Memorial Stadium; University of Nebraska graduation and campus events; State government and legislative sessions; Volleyball and youth sports tournaments. Guests I price for: Husker fans and alumni on 1 to 3 night game weekends, visiting parents, and state government travel. Where I start: Home-game weekend premiums with 2-night minimums, graduation pricing, and steady weekday floors.
Lincoln sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Lincoln hotels sell game weekends years ahead to fans and teams, while weekdays depend on the university, state government and business travel. From my five-star hotel revenue background I help set multi-night requirements on football Saturdays, plan team and band block releases and price weekday corporate rates that keep summer from sliding.
The service in general is described on my expedia optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Lincoln.
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 Lincoln hotels some alumni flying in through Omaha's Eppley Airfield or Lincoln Airport for a game, plus parents for graduation and business travellers visiting state agencies. I focus on clear room content, accurate member pricing and making sure discounts do not apply on home-game weekends, when every room sells at full rate regardless of channel.
I begin by blocking member and package discounts on football Saturdays, then compare Expedia and Hotels.com content for missing photos and amenities.
Each home football Saturday gets its own tier, set when the schedule comes out; volleyball weekends at the Devaney Center and parents' weekend sit just below the game weekends.
December commencement and volleyball tournament runs can bring short spikes; otherwise I lower floors before the holidays and offer weekly rates for visiting families.
Walkable to Memorial Stadium and Pinnacle Bank Arena; I price these at the top on game weekends and use concerts and basketball to support winter.
My full Lincoln calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Lincoln.
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 was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan.

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!
