Google Vacation Rentals optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google Vacation Rentals. I check that your property appears with accurate rates, availability and content on Google Vacation Rentals and TripAdvisor, and that your direct link is the one travelers click.
What I plan around in Norman: Oklahoma Sooners football at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium; University of Oklahoma graduation and campus events; Lake Thunderbird recreation; Oklahoma City event spillover. Guests I price for: Sooners fans and alumni on game weekends, university families, and Oklahoma City event visitors. Where I start: Opponent-tiered game pricing, graduation premiums, and winter floors.
Norman sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. On Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com I price your Norman rental around Sooners football, spring festivals and the Women's College World Series, with sensible floors for winter and July. Inside PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set opponent-tiered overrides, length-of-stay discounts for research and contractor guests and stay rules that keep game weekends at two nights.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Norman.
I check what Google shows for your property and review the feed that supplies it through your channel manager.
I review the TripAdvisor listing so the property reads as well there as on your booking channels.
Your direct link should win when your rate is competitive. I align your site, rates and booking path with what Google and TripAdvisor show.
Each channel is mapped through your channel manager with explicit markups, and I check parity and availability after changes.
Google Vacation Rentals helps a Norman owner appear when fans or parents search for somewhere near OU, but only through a connected PMS or channel feed. I check that the feed sends correct totals, bedroom counts and photos, and link a direct booking site where possible so returning alumni groups can book the next season without OTA fees.
My first step is a live Google search for the home, comparing its totals for a home game weekend with what Airbnb and Vrbo show.
Move-in weekend then football: I price each home Saturday from the opponent's travelling support, keep away weekends near base and keep watch for Thanksgiving week when the schedule ends at home.
With students away and football over, I drop floors, open monthly rates for visiting scientists and contractors, and lift only the dates of big Sooners basketball games at the Lloyd Noble Center.
Larger homes with land suit family reunions and lake weekends, so I market them for space in spring and summer and keep football premiums lighter because of the drive.
My full Norman calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Norman.
Travelers often start on Google, and what it shows decides which platform they end up on. If your direct link is accurate and competitive it can win the booking before commission is involved, which is why I treat Google and TripAdvisor as part of the pricing job.
A new Google Vacation Rentals listing
You have just connected Google Vacation Rentals 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 Google Vacation Rentals.
Commission without much return
You pay Google Vacation Rentals commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Google Vacation Rentals and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.

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!

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 Norman: Oklahoma Sooners home football weekends in the autumn, plus graduation in May and the Women's College World Series in nearby Oklahoma City in June. March to May: Spring brings the Medieval Fair, the music festival, campus visits and commencement, so I price each of those weekends on its own and hold storm-season cancellation terms clearly in the listing. June: The Women's College World Series runs in Oklahoma City, and I lift the full tournament window when the Sooners are playing, with shorter minimums because fans follow the bracket day by day.

Campus Corner and the university core and Downtown Norman and Main Street get their own treatment.
