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 Montréal: Canadian Grand Prix; Montréal Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs; Osheaga; Conference and university travel. Guests I price for: US and European visitors on 3 to 4 night stays in the Plateau, Old Montréal and Mile End. Where I start: Grand Prix and festival premiums, CITQ-compliant positioning, and winter floors.
For hosts I set up your pricing tool with named events for the Grand Prix, Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga, plus monthly rates for winter. I make sure both language versions of the listing and every channel carry the same rules and fees.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Montréal.
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.
“Montréal is a festival city with strict rules. Short-term rentals need a CITQ registration, and the city has limited rentals of non-principal residences to a summer window in most boroughs. The Grand Prix, Jazz Festival and Osheaga are the peaks. I check the property's status first, then price the festival calendar.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Igloofest and Montréal en Lumière give a few weekends some life, so I price those and otherwise rely on conferences, students and longer stays to keep winter occupied.
As the terraces open, weekend demand returns first; I lift Friday and Saturday rates while leaving midweek near winter levels until June.
Grand Prix weekend gets a three-night minimum and its own rate, and the Francofolies and early Jazz Festival dates follow straight after, so I do not let the month average out.
Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga each get named premiums, with ordinary summer nights held firm because American visitors keep arriving by car.
Conferences and the start of the academic year carry weekdays, so I keep business-friendly midweek rates and soften weekends only after Thanksgiving.
Christmas markets and New Year in Old Montréal lift the final weeks, so I price the holiday period as a separate short season with a minimum stay.
Confirm CITQ registration and whether the unit is a principal residence.
Price the Grand Prix and summer festivals as top bands.
Plan non-principal units around the summer rental window.
Offer mid-term stays for students and professionals.
Lower January to March 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% |

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 Montréal: June to September, with the Grand Prix in June, Jazz Festival and Osheaga, plus the Christmas season. December: Christmas markets and New Year in Old Montréal lift the final weeks, so I price the holiday period as a separate short season with a minimum stay. June: Grand Prix weekend gets a three-night minimum and its own rate, and the Francofolies and early Jazz Festival dates follow straight after, so I do not let the month average out. 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. Whether the listing shows a valid CITQ registration number and whether the unit is a principal residence, because those two answers decide which months can be sold as short stays.
Confirm CITQ registration and whether the unit is a principal residence. Next: plan non-principal units around the summer rental window. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Montréal 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 Montréal: January to March. September to November: Conferences and the start of the academic year carry weekdays, so I keep business-friendly midweek rates and soften weekends only after Thanksgiving. January to March: Igloofest and Montréal en Lumière give a few weekends some life, so I price those and otherwise rely on conferences, students and longer stays to keep winter occupied.
Non-principal units rented outside the allowed window and listings without CITQ numbers. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Montréal, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Montréal, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Montréal sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. June: Grand Prix weekend gets a three-night minimum and its own rate, and the Francofolies and early Jazz Festival dates follow straight after, so I do not let the month average out.
Quartier des Spectacles and downtown: The heart of the festivals; I build Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs dates as top events and keep weekday rates attractive to conference visitors. Plateau Mont-Royal and Old Montréal 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.
Conference and university travel, Canadian Grand Prix and Montréal Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Montréal. December: Christmas markets and New Year in Old Montréal lift the final weeks, so I price the holiday period as a separate short season with a minimum stay.

Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue. The scope of Airbnb revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Montréal I would start from June: Grand Prix weekend gets a three-night minimum and its own rate, and the Francofolies and early Jazz Festival dates follow straight after, so I do not let the month average out.
