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 Riyadh: Riyadh Season; LEAP and Future Investment Initiative; Formula E and Riyadh Comedy Festival; Business travel tied to Vision 2030 projects. Guests I price for: Domestic and GCC business travellers, event visitors and families, often booking 2 to 5 nights. Where I start: Event-calendar pricing, business midweek strategies, and licensed short-stay positioning under Ministry of Tourism rules.
Riyadh sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Gathern and Expedia. Riyadh hotels are growing fast alongside new supply, giga-events and project travel. With a decade of five-star revenue management behind me, I help hotels build corporate rate structures, event fences and conference group pricing, and plan the quiet summer without weakening their rate position for the busy winter.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Riyadh.
Your profile is often the first thing a traveler sees. I complete it, correct the details and keep rates and availability accurate.
Free booking links cost nothing to appear in. I set them up, then judge whether paid Hotel Ads are worth it for your hotel.
A click only helps if the booking path converts. I review your site and engine against the OTAs and fix what loses the guest.
Reviews on these sites travel with the property. I set up a routine to collect and answer them consistently.
“Riyadh is a new short-term rental market growing fast under Vision 2030. Riyadh Season, LEAP and the Future Investment Initiative create huge spikes, and business travel fills weekdays. Licensing through the Ministry of Tourism is required, and local platforms like Gathern matter as much as the global ones.”

Riyadh Season opens while FII and Cityscape bring business crowds, so I raise rates near Boulevard City and KAFD and price each conference week as its own premium.
Formula E in Diriyah and LEAP keep demand strong, so I load event dates early, set two-night minimums on the key nights and keep weekday business rates firm.
Business travel slows during Ramadan, so I ease weekday prices, then lift the Eid holiday as families travel and the city fills with visitors again.
Heat builds and events thin out, so I target project contractors and relocating families with weekly and monthly rates while keeping weekend nightly prices stable.
Many residents travel abroad, so I lower floors carefully, offer monthly stays and keep a premium only on event dates that still bring visitors into the city.
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.

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.
Send me the Google listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Google: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Google 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 Google and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Google Hotel Ads optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.

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!
Airbnb host
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!
