Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
What I plan around in Madison: Badgers football at Camp Randall Stadium; University of Wisconsin commencement and move-in; The Dane County Farmers' Market on the Capitol Square; Ironman Wisconsin. Guests I price for: Alumni and visiting parents plus Epic Systems corporate visitors on 2 to 3 night stays near campus, downtown and the isthmus lakes. Where I start: Game-day and graduation premiums with two-night football minimums, corporate weekday demand tied to Epic in Verona, and midweek pricing between event weekends.
For Madison hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with the Badger home schedule, Ironman and Dairy Expo dates loaded early, weekday rules for Verona business stays, and a Furnished Finder rate card so the winter calendar has a fallback.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Madison.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“Madison is a university and corporate town. Badgers football Saturdays, commencement and Ironman Wisconsin create the peaks, while Epic Systems in Verona brings steady corporate visitors. January and February are quiet. I combine event premiums with corporate weekday pricing. The event dates are known well ahead, so there is no reason to price them late. The harder work is keeping weekdays busy between them, which is where Epic and university visitors earn their place.”

I lean on Epic visitors and medical travel with weekly and monthly offers, and set a realistic floor rather than chasing leisure weekends that rarely come in deep winter.
WIAA state tournaments at the Kohl Center and the Crazylegs run lift selected weekends, and May commencement becomes the anchor; I price those dates individually and keep the rest flexible.
Saturday farmers' market crowds, the Great Taste of the Midwest and late August move-in all reward weekend premiums, while I keep weekdays open for conference and Epic traffic.
Home football, Ironman, World Dairy Expo and Freakfest stack into one long peak; I load each date as it is confirmed and hold two-night rules on Badger Saturdays.
Winter commencement and holiday family visits give the month a short lift, so I price graduation weekend early and let the quiet weeks around it drift toward the winter floor.
Price Badgers home football weekends with 2-night minimums.
Price commencement and move-in weekends as premiums.
Add Ironman Wisconsin in September.
Set weekday and monthly rates for Epic corporate visitors.
Lower January and February floors.
One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | Core +35% |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | Core +75% |
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!

Busiest in Madison: September to November for Wisconsin Badgers football and June to September, spiking on home-game Saturdays, commencement and Ironman Wisconsin. June to August: Saturday farmers' market crowds, the Great Taste of the Midwest and late August move-in all reward weekend premiums, while I keep weekdays open for conference and Epic traffic. September to November: Home football, Ironman, World Dairy Expo and Freakfest stack into one long peak; I load each date as it is confirmed and hold two-night rules on Badger Saturdays. For Airbnb revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How far the home is from Camp Randall and State Street on foot, because game-day guests pay for walkability and will not pay a premium for a home that needs a car or rideshare.
Price Badgers home football weekends with 2-night minimums. Next: add Ironman Wisconsin in September. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Madison property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Madison: January to February. December: Winter commencement and holiday family visits give the month a short lift, so I price graduation weekend early and let the quiet weeks around it drift toward the winter floor. January and February: I lean on Epic visitors and medical travel with weekly and monthly offers, and set a realistic floor rather than chasing leisure weekends that rarely come in deep winter.
Corporate demand from Epic ignored and football weekends released as single nights. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Madison, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Madison, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Madison sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Furnished Finder for corporate stays. December: Winter commencement and holiday family visits give the month a short lift, so I price graduation weekend early and let the quiet weeks around it drift toward the winter floor.
Verona and Fitchburg: Suburban homes close to Epic's campus earn on weekdays and longer stays; I price them for business travellers rather than trying to compete for game weekends. The isthmus and Capitol Square and Regent and Vilas near Camp Randall get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Ironman Wisconsin, Badgers football at Camp Randall Stadium and University of Wisconsin commencement and move-in are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Madison. June to August: Saturday farmers' market crowds, the Great Taste of the Midwest and late August move-in all reward weekend premiums, while I keep weekdays open for conference and Epic traffic.
