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 San Juan: US mainland winter travel with no passport required; San Sebastián Street Festival; Cruise arrivals; Bad Bunny and concert tourism. Guests I price for: US travellers on 3 to 5 night stays in Old San Juan, Condado and Ocean Park. Where I start: Holiday and festival premiums, cruise-night pricing, and hurricane-season floors.
San Juan sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. My background is five-star hotel revenue, so for San Juan hotels I work on cruise and airline crew demand, group and wedding blocks, fences for SanSe and concert weekends, and a comp set chosen by beach and neighbourhood rather than by chain.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in San Juan.
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.
“San Juan is an easy winter escape for Americans, with no passport needed. Winter, the San Sebastián Street Festival and Spring Break are the peaks, and cruise arrivals create short stays. Concert tourism has boosted demand in recent years. Hurricane season is quiet.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Holiday visitors and families returning to the island fill homes, so I set four night minimums and keep rates firm until the Three Kings celebrations on January 6.
The San Sebastián Street Festival packs Old San Juan, so I build that weekend as a premium block with two or three night minimums and keep Condado closer to winter pricing.
Winter escapes and Spring Break keep demand strong, so I price by night but watch cruise schedules and avoid empty single nights between longer bookings.
Summer brings families, Puerto Rican diaspora travel and concert weekends, so I lift dates around big shows at the Coliseo and keep weekday rates competitive.
Storm season needs a floor and flexible cancellation, then Thanksgiving week gets a premium as mainland travellers return for the start of the season.
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.
Price December to April as the main season.
Price San Sebastián Street Festival as a January premium.
Allow short pre-cruise stays.
Price Old San Juan, Condado and Ocean Park separately.
Set hurricane-season floors.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Google Hotel Ads optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Google Hotel Ads | Quoted |

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!
