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 Scottsdale, United States, one to one, remotely and in Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7). In Scottsdale, I price January to March as the peak and June to September 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 Scottsdale: MLB Spring Training in February and March; WM Phoenix Open in early February; Snowbird season from January to April; Golf and pool-home demand. Guests I price for: Golf groups, snowbirds staying 2 to 8 weeks, and bachelorette groups in Old Town Scottsdale. Where I start: A steep winter-to-summer seasonal spread, monthly snowbird rate cards, and event premiums that begin 90 days out for pool homes.
Scottsdale sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Barrett-Jackson, the Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Spring Training as date premiums, monthly snowbird pricing and a summer floor tied to your costs. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then follow the same rules for every month.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Scottsdale.
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.
“Scottsdale has one of the steepest seasonal curves I work with. A pool home can earn several times more per night in February than in July, and snowbirds booking 4 to 8 weeks bring a different kind of revenue from golf groups and bachelorettes. The strategy is about protecting winter from being cut into short, low-value stays, while giving summer a floor that still covers costs.”

Barrett-Jackson at WestWorld, the WM Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Cactus League games stack up, so I price each event week individually and protect weekends for groups.
Spring Training ends, but golf and pool weather stay strong; I keep weekend rates near peak and begin offering midweek specials for late-season visitors.
Heat returns, snowbirds leave and I shorten minimums, offering weekly stays and promoting pools and shade to Arizona and California drive-in guests.
Extreme heat brings local staycations and resort-style weekends; I price weekends for Phoenix residents and keep weekday floors that cover cooling and pool costs.
Cooler weather returns, NASCAR at Phoenix Raceway brings a November spike and holidays lift late December, so I raise weekend rates and open monthly snowbird stays from January.
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.
Price January to April as the main season, with WM Phoenix Open, Spring Training and Barrett-Jackson as their own higher bands.
Offer monthly snowbird rates from November onwards, but only for dates that are unlikely to sell as higher-value short stays.
Protect Old Town weekends with 2-night minimums and group pricing, and keep them separate from quieter residential homes.
Set a summer floor based on real costs, including higher power bills for pools and air conditioning, and pair it with weekly discounts.
Start event pricing about 90 days before Spring Training and the Phoenix Open instead of reacting in the final weeks.
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 Scottsdale, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict.

Golf groups, snowbirds staying 2 to 8 weeks, and bachelorette groups in Old Town Scottsdale. Demand is driven by WM Phoenix Open in early February and Snowbird season from January to April.
Old Town Scottsdale: Nightlife, restaurants and Scottsdale Stadium; I price for groups and Spring Training fans, with strong weekend premiums in winter and spring. North Scottsdale and DC Ranch and Arcadia and Tempe get their own treatment.

Start event pricing about 90 days before Spring Training and the Phoenix Open instead of reacting in the final weeks. Next: offer monthly snowbird rates from November onwards, but only for dates that are unlikely to sell as higher-value short stays.
Whether bachelorette and group bookings in Old Town are managed with clear house rules and occupancy limits, because that protects the licence and neighbour relations. 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.

To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Scottsdale.
