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 Montevideo: Argentine and Brazilian summer travel; Punta del Este New Year season; Carnival; José Ignacio luxury demand. Guests I price for: Argentine and Brazilian families on weekly and fortnightly summer stays. Where I start: Fortnightly summer pricing in Punta, New Year premiums, and long off-season floors.
Montevideo sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. My background is five-star hotel revenue, so for hotels in Punta del Este and Montevideo I work on the intense summer peak, group and event blocks, fences for New Year and Carnival and a comp set chosen by beach and district.
The service in general is described on my expedia optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Montevideo.
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.
“Punta del Este is one of the most seasonal markets in the Americas. Argentine and Brazilian families rent for a week or two from late December to February, New Year is the top week and the rest of the year is very quiet. Montevideo is steadier, with Carnival.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days.
Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy.
Uruguay's Easter week brings domestic travellers and some Argentines back to the coast, so I price that week as its own short season and keep the rest of autumn modest.
Punta goes quiet, so I set long-stay and monthly rates for remote workers and residents, while Montevideo keeps steady business demand in Pocitos and Ciudad Vieja.
Long weekends and early spring visitors return, so I open summer rates early and protect New Year and January weeks before short bookings fill them.
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.
Price late December to February by week and fortnight.
Price New Year as the top band.
Price José Ignacio against luxury comps.
Price Montevideo for Carnival and business.
Offer low off-season floors.
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 |
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!
