Airbnb listing optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Airbnb. I rewrite the title and description around how guests search, choose and order photos, and tune amenities and booking settings so Airbnb ranks the listing higher.
What I plan around in Montpellier: Mediterranean beaches at Palavas and La Grande-Motte; Festival de Radio France; Place de la Comedie and the Ecusson; Languedoc and Pic Saint-Loup wine. Guests I price for: students' families, festival-goers and beachgoers on 3 to 6 night stays in the Ecusson old town and the Antigone district. Where I start: a warm-climate summer beach and festival peak, student-city demand through term time, and French meuble de tourisme registration.
Montpellier sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel. I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you so festival weeks are loaded as events, term-time stays for families and academics have their own rules, and beach homes run weekly in summer. Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel then read from that same plan.
The service in general is described on my airbnb listing optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Montpellier.
Airbnb reads your title, summary and details to decide which searches you appear in. I research how guests in your market search and write to match.
Guests decide in seconds. I pick the cover that wins the click, order the gallery as a story and caption the features guests care about.
Missing amenities cost filters and strict rules cost conversion. I audit every toggle and set the combination that converts without adding risk.
Ratings, response and acceptance rates and review recency all feed ranking. I set up review requests and reply templates so those signals keep improving.
“Montpellier is a student city with beaches next door. Term time brings parents and academics, summer brings beachgoers to Palavas and La Grande-Motte, and the Festival de Radio France fills July. I price summer and festival weeks and use term-time demand to support the rest.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.
Spring weekends, the action sports festival and graduation season lift demand, and I firm up weekends while keeping weekday stays flexible for visiting families.
Beaches, dance and music festivals all overlap, so I price July highest in the city and let beach-side homes run on weekly stays with firm rates.
Term starts bring student families and conferences, so I price early September well and ease towards winter while protecting key weekends.
A listing that ranks but is priced badly wastes the visibility, and a well-priced listing nobody sees earns nothing. I optimize the listing for search and conversion first, then tune the pricing around the traffic it earns.

Add Festival de Radio France dates.

A new Airbnb listing
You have just connected Airbnb 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 Airbnb.
Commission without much return
You pay Airbnb commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Airbnb and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Airbnb listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Airbnb: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Airbnb 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 Airbnb and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Airbnb 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 | Airbnb optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Airbnb | 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!
