Agoda optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Agoda. I complete your property and room content in YCS, set promotions, secret deals and rate channels, and manage the signals Agoda ranks on.
What I plan around in Medellín: Feria de las Flores; Christmas lights (Alumbrados); Digital-nomad demand in El Poblado and Laureles; Conference travel. Guests I price for: US and European remote workers on 1 to 3 month stays, and short-stay leisure visitors. Where I start: Monthly discount ladders, event premiums in August and December, and unit positioning inside dense El Poblado supply.
Medellín sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. With my five-star background I help Medellín boutique hotels and aparthotels separate leisure, corporate and event segments, build packages for the Feria and fashion week and set corporate rates for Plaza Mayor conferences that protect weekday occupancy in the rainy months.
The service in general is described on my agoda optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Medellín.
Agoda favours complete room and property content. I fill every field, rewrite descriptions for its travelers and fix room mapping errors.
I choose the cover and order the gallery so the result card wins the click against nearby hotels.
Agoda rewards well-used promotions. I set campaigns, secret deals and rate channels where they pay, and keep prices in line with your other channels.
Review scores and response behaviour feed ranking. I set up review requests and replies, and diagnose why scores slip.
“Medellín is one of Latin America's biggest nomad hubs, and El Poblado and Laureles are crowded with similar apartments. Monthly stays carry much of the year, while Feria de las Flores and the December Alumbrados bring short-stay peaks. Colombia requires registration in the RNT tourism register.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Dry weather and North American winter escapes keep El Poblado busy, so I hold weekends and use monthly terms for remote workers arriving for the season.
Easter brings domestic visitors, then the April and May rains thin leisure travel. I price Holy Week higher and lean on monthly stays through the wet stretch.
Colombiamoda at Plaza Mayor brings buyers and the fashion crowd in July, so I add a premium that week and keep mid-year holiday weekends firm.
Feria de las Flores and the Silleteros parade fill the city, so I price the festival as its own block with a three or four night minimum.
October rains and fewer events make this the quietest stretch, so I set monthly ladders, protect the floor and highlight workspace and internet.
The Alumbrados along the river and family visits lift demand, so I raise December weekends and price Christmas and New Year as premium nights.
Agoda is strongest in Asia-Pacific and growing elsewhere, and its travelers respond to complete content and well-used promotions. Hotels that copy a Booking.com profile across rarely rank well, so I rebuild the Agoda profile for the people who actually search there.
Build monthly rates for remote workers.
Price Feria de las Flores and December as short-stay peaks.
Price El Poblado and Laureles separately.
Keep the RNT registration current.
Highlight workspace and internet quality.
A new Agoda listing
You have just connected Agoda 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 Agoda.
Commission without much return
You pay Agoda commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Agoda and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Agoda listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Agoda: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Agoda 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 Agoda and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Agoda 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 | Agoda optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Agoda | Quoted |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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!
