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 Louisville, United States, one to one, remotely and in Eastern Time (UTC-5). In Louisville, I price May as the peak and January to February 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 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. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set Oaks and Derby as one protected block, then load Thunder, Bourbon and Beyond, Louder Than Life, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and the art show as separate events. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then show the same minimum stays, deposits and house rules for every one of them.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Louisville.
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.
“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.
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 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 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!

The Highlands and Bardstown Road: Restaurants, bars and walkable streets attract bourbon visitors and Derby groups. I price weekends strongly and use Derby week as the top band.
