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 Ojai: Ojai wellness retreats and the Pink Moment sunsets; The Ojai Music Festival; Ventura beaches and the Channel Islands ferries; The winter pixie tangerine harvest. Guests I price for: Los Angeles couples on 2 to 3 night wellness and beach weekends in Ojai's East End and Ventura's Midtown and harbour, plus retreat groups. Where I start: Wellness-retreat and festival premiums in Ojai paired with Ventura beach weekends, minimum stays over event dates, and midweek retreat rate cards.
For hosts here I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with separate comp sets for Ojai and Ventura, festival premiums, midweek retreat rate rules and beach weekend minimums, so Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com all follow the same strategy for each home.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Ojai.
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.
“Ojai and Ventura sell two different weekends to Los Angeles: wellness and retreats in Ojai, and beaches and Channel Islands trips in Ventura. The Ojai Music Festival in June is the top event. Retreat groups also book midweek. Ojai guests pay for calm, views and privacy, while Ventura guests pay for the beach and the harbour. I keep them on separate comps and separate weekend rules, even though they are only a short drive apart.”

I keep Ojai weekends steady for couples and run midweek retreat offers, while Ventura homes take longer winter stays from remote workers and visiting families.
Wildflowers and the pixie tangerine season lift Ojai weekends, so I raise those rates first and leave Ventura flexible until the beach season starts.
The Ojai Music Festival gets its own premium with a festival-length minimum, and early summer beach weekends in Ventura begin climbing toward peak rates.
Ventura harbour and beach demand peaks, with Channel Islands trips adding weekdays; I price Ojai for heat-tolerant retreat groups and couples rather than holding beach-level rates.
Pleasant weather keeps weekends healthy in both towns; I price Thanksgiving and holiday weeks up and offer midweek rates for retreat organisers planning winter programmes.
Price the Ojai Music Festival as a top premium.
Use 2-night weekend minimums in both towns.
Build midweek retreat rates in Ojai.
Price Ventura beach homes by distance to the water.
Lower January and February 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 Ojai: June for the Ojai Music Festival and the summer beach season, with a warm spring shoulder. June: The Ojai Music Festival gets its own premium with a festival-length minimum, and early summer beach weekends in Ventura begin climbing toward peak rates. July to September: Ventura harbour and beach demand peaks, with Channel Islands trips adding weekdays; I price Ojai for heat-tolerant retreat groups and couples rather than holding beach-level rates. 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 Ojai listing shows views, privacy and quiet in the first photos, because wellness guests choose the setting before they compare price.
Price the Ojai Music Festival as a top premium. Next: build midweek retreat rates in Ojai. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Ojai 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 Ojai: January and February. October to December: Pleasant weather keeps weekends healthy in both towns; I price Thanksgiving and holiday weeks up and offer midweek rates for retreat organisers planning winter programmes. January to February: I keep Ojai weekends steady for couples and run midweek retreat offers, while Ventura homes take longer winter stays from remote workers and visiting families.
Ojai and Ventura priced from one comp set and retreat midweek demand ignored. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Ojai, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Ojai, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Ojai sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. October to December: Pleasant weather keeps weekends healthy in both towns; I price Thanksgiving and holiday weeks up and offer midweek rates for retreat organisers planning winter programmes.
Ventura Midtown and the Harbor: Beach and harbour access drive bookings here; I price by distance to the sand and give island-trip guests easy early check-in options. Ojai East End and Downtown Ojai and the Arcade 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.
The winter pixie tangerine harvest, Ojai wellness retreats and the Pink Moment sunsets and The Ojai Music Festival are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Ojai.
