Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on other OTAs. I optimize your rental on Expedia and Hotels.com, Agoda, HomeToGo, Plum Guide and other platforms, one channel at a time, with parity checked.
What I plan around in Oaxaca: Día de Muertos; Guelaguetza festival; Food and mezcal tourism; Puerto Escondido surf season. Guests I price for: US and European travellers on 4 to 6 night stays. Where I start: Festival premiums with minimum stays and shoulder floors.
Oaxaca sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. I set up your pricing tool so Día de Muertos and the Guelaguetza open early with minimum stays, Christmas and Easter carry their own bands and the rainy months shift toward longer stays, with Airbnb and Booking.com following the same rates and rules.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Oaxaca.
Expedia Group ranks on content score, rate competitiveness and conversion. I complete the content, structure rate plans and promotions and audit the photos.
Agoda is strong in Asia-Pacific and growing elsewhere. I rebuild your profile, rooms and promotions for its traveler.
TripAdvisor and metasearch put your listing in front of travelers early. I keep rates, availability and your direct link right.
Aggregators and curated platforms send high-value guests when a listing meets their standards. I prepare each one and connect it through your channel manager.
“Oaxaca has two festivals that decide much of the year: Día de Muertos and the Guelaguetza. Food and mezcal tourism keep visitors coming between them. Supply is limited in the historic centre. Visitors come for culture and food rather than beaches, so walkability to the centre and markets is the main location factor.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Dry, sunny months bring food lovers and Semana Santa visitors, so I keep rates firm and price Easter as its own week with a three night minimum.
Heat and early rains slow travel, so I offer weekly and monthly terms to language students and remote workers rather than cutting the nightly rate deeply.
The two festival Mondays on the Cerro del Fortín anchor the month; I build a premium block around them with minimum stays and keep the rest of July close to normal.
Rainy season and the post-festival lull mean a firm floor and longer stays, with weekend offers for domestic visitors driving in from Puebla and Mexico City.
I open Día de Muertos rates well ahead with four night minimums, because photographers and culture travellers often book these dates many months in advance.
Christmas visitors and the Noche de Rábanos on December 23 lift the second half of the month, so I raise those dates and keep early December closer to shoulder pricing.
Not every platform pays for every property. Before adding a channel I look at your market, property type and booking mix and tell you which are likely to earn their place. Then I optimize only those, and leave the rest alone.
Price Día de Muertos as the top band with minimum stays.
Price the Guelaguetza in July.
Price historic centre homes higher.
Add Christmas as a premium.
Lower May to June and September floors.
A new other OTAs listing
You have just connected other OTAs 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 other OTAs.
Commission without much return
You pay other OTAs commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on other OTAs and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the other OTAs listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for other OTAs: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your other OTAs 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 other OTAs and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Other OTA 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 | Other OTA optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Other OTA | Quoted |

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!
