Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in Santander, Spain, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Santander, I price August as the peak and November to March as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Other OTA optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types.

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 Santander: El Sardinero beaches and the Magdalena Peninsula; Picos de Europa hiking; Santillana del Mar and Altamira; Ferry arrivals from Portsmouth and Plymouth. Guests I price for: Spanish families escaping the southern heat on 5 to 10 night summer stays, and UK ferry road-trippers. Where I start: Short summer peak pricing, rural house weekly rates and Cantabria tourist registration.
Santander sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo. I set up the pricing tool so July and August sit on a steep curve with weekly minimums, ferry and Easter dates get their own lift, and the winter floor reflects what Spanish weekenders will pay. Calendars for coastal and inland homes run on separate rules.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Santander.
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.
Beyond Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, Cantabrian rentals can use Spanish portals and regional rural tourism sites, which reach domestic families looking for country houses. I add channels one at a time, only when the main ones are performing and registration details are correct on each. More channels mean more work, so each needs a clear purpose.
I start by testing one Spanish rural portal with spring and autumn dates only, then decide whether it brings enough bookings to keep.
Rain and short days empty the coast, so I set floors for weekend visitors from Bilbao and Burgos and leave weeknights open for workers, ferry passengers and the odd surfer at Somo.
Semana Santa is the first real test. After it I rely on weekends, the Liébana valley walkers and couples visiting Altamira, keeping two-night minimums rather than chasing week-long bookings too soon.
The postcard address, with beaches, the casino and the palace grounds. I price sea views at the top here and expect full weeks in August.
My full Santander calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Santander.
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.
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 |
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!

For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Santander, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Santander sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo. Easter to June: Semana Santa is the first real test. After it I rely on weekends, the Liébana valley walkers and couples visiting Altamira, keeping two-night minimums rather than chasing week-long bookings too soon.
Busiest in Santander: July and August, with the Santander summer festival season. July: Madrid families arrive as their schools close and the meseta heats up. I raise rates week by week toward the Semana Grande and the Baños de Ola, then tighten minimum stays. August: Every coastal bed is in demand, and concerts at the Festival Internacional de Santander fill the city too. I sell full weeks only and leave no discount anywhere on the calendar. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, on other OTAs, I line up promotions, rate plans and content with these windows so visibility peaks when demand does.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i write content and photo order on other OTAs for the guests who actually search for Santander. Spanish families escaping the southern heat on 5 to 10 night summer stays, and UK ferry road-trippers. Demand is driven by Picos de Europa hiking and Santillana del Mar and Altamira.
El Sardinero and the Magdalena: The postcard address, with beaches, the casino and the palace grounds. I price sea views at the top here and expect full weeks in August. Somo, Noja and Laredo and Liébana and the Picos de Europa get their own treatment. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i write location content, photos and amenity highlights on other OTAs around the specific part of Santander the property is in.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, the first changes on other OTAs are content completeness and the cover photo, because those decide whether a Santander traveler clicks. Open Easter and the May holidays early for Basque and Madrid weekenders. Next: set 7-night minimums on coastal family flats in Somo, Noja and Laredo for August.
Parking and the drive. Many guests arrive by car from the ferry or the interior, and a flat without a space in El Sardinero or the centre loses them quickly. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i check this on other OTAs first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Santander, this is how I would approach it. Calendars for coastal and inland homes run on separate rules. I set up the pricing tool so July and August sit on a steep curve with weekly minimums, ferry and Easter dates get their own lift, and the winter floor reflects what Spanish weekenders will pay. We start in the chat, and I confirm the scope and the price before any work begins.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i price properties for a living, so content, rates and promotions are tuned together and not in isolation. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Santander and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: treat the Semana Grande in late July and the mid-August holiday bridge as the top weeks of the year.
Other OTA optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types. The scope of Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Santander I would start from July: Madrid families arrive as their schools close and the meseta heats up. I raise rates week by week toward the Semana Grande and the Baños de Ola, then tighten minimum stays. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Santander.
Yes. Expedia, Agoda and Other OTA Expert in Santander is delivered remotely and scheduled in Central European Time (UTC+1), and 100+ properties in and around Santander have been optimized, including in areas such as El Sardinero and the Magdalena. I implement it live on Zoom in your other OTAs extranet or through your channel manager, in your time zone. Start in the chat or by email and tell me what you run in Santander.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Santander the first gains from Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: set 7-night minimums on coastal family flats in Somo, Noja and Laredo for August. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
