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 Louisville: Kentucky Derby; Bourbon Trail distillery tourism; Thunder Over Louisville and Forecastle; Louisville Cardinals and conventions. Guests I price for: Derby groups on 3 to 5 night stays, bourbon tourists on weekends. Where I start: Derby-week premiums set a year ahead with minimum stays, bourbon-weekend rates, and winter floors.
Louisville sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. For Louisville hotels I work on Derby-week length-of-stay restrictions and deposit terms, festival group blocks, Kentucky Exposition Center and convention demand, and distillery packages for weekend leisure. My comp sets are built by area, because downtown, airport, Expo Center and suburban hotels serve very different guests on the same night.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Louisville.
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.
“Louisville has one of the most valuable single weekends in American hospitality: the Kentucky Derby. Homes can earn a large share of their year over Derby week, and guests book well ahead. The Bourbon Trail adds steady weekend demand from spring to autumn. I price Derby first, then build a solid bourbon-season base.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Winter is quiet outside basketball weekends and conventions. I lower weekend rates, allow short stays and offer midweek deals for business visitors.
Spring bourbon trips and Thunder Over Louisville build demand. I price Thunder weekend higher and start protecting Derby week dates.
Kentucky Oaks and Derby week are the top nights of the year. I use long minimum stays, clear house rules and early pricing for the full Derby period.
Distillery tours run all summer, but heat and humidity cap demand. I keep Saturdays steady, allow single weeknights and price Fourth of July along the Ohio River waterfront as a small event.
Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and the St. James Court Art Show keep weekends busy. I price each event weekend separately.
Cardinals football and basketball, shows at the Kentucky Exposition Center and holiday family visits create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate and lift only the specific game and holiday weekends.
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.
Price Derby week as the top band, opened a year ahead with 3 to 5-night minimums.
Add Thunder Over Louisville as a spring premium.
Price Bourbon Trail weekends from April to October with 2-night minimums.
Price homes by distance to Churchill Downs for Derby.
Lower January and February floors.
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 |
