Win direct bookings from Google, before guests reach an OTA.I set up your Google Business Profile, free booking links and Hotel Ads, and make sure your direct booking path is competitive.

Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Google Hotel Ads optimization for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Piran, Slovenia, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Piran, I price July to August as the peak and January to March and November to December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Google Hotel Ads optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types.
Google Hotel Ads optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google. I set up your Google Business Profile, free booking links and Hotel Ads, and make sure your direct booking path is competitive.
What I plan around in Piran: Piran's Venetian old town; Portorož beaches and casinos; Izola and Koper; Day trips from Ljubljana and Trieste. Guests I price for: Slovenian, Austrian and Italian couples and families on 2 to 5 night stays. Where I start: Summer premiums, small-apartment pricing and tourist tax.
Piran sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. For hotels and guesthouses on the coast I work on spa and wellness packages, summer allotments, weekend pricing and the balance between OTA and direct sales. Having run revenue for five-star chain hotels, I know how to package thalasso and casino weekends so they do not undercut the public rate for guests driving in from Austria and Italy.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Piran.

Google Hotel Ads optimization in Piran: how I approach it
Guests choosing between Piran and Portorož often study Google Maps to see the walk to the sea and where they can park. I connect free booking links, check that the direct price includes the tourist tax in the same way as the OTAs, and give direct bookers a concrete benefit, such as a parking voucher or spa entry, to win the comparison.
First I run a price accuracy check for summer weekends, then update the business profile with seasonal opening times and current photos.
April to JuneShoulder
Easter, the May holidays and Slovenia's Statehood Day weekend lift demand, and I raise those weekends individually while weekdays stay attractive for cyclists on the Parenzana trail.
July to AugustPeak
With every Slovenian, Austrian and Italian holiday running, I hold top rates, require at least three nights and keep an eye on the Tartini Festival concerts in Piran.
Piran old town
Venetian lanes around Tartini Square and the harbour are the market's signature, so I price character and sea views highly while staying honest about noise, stairs and access.
Google shows your hotel, your rates and your OTAs side by side, and the direct link only wins if it is accurate and competitive. A modest amount of careful setup here is the cheapest way I know to move bookings off commission-heavy channels.
Who it is for
When Google Hotel Ads optimization makes sense in Piran
A new Google listing
You have just connected Google 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.
Commission without much return
You pay Google commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Google and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
