Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Airbnb listing optimization for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in Sofia, Bulgaria, one to one, remotely and in Eastern European Time (UTC+2). In Sofia, I price Mid-December to March as the peak and April to May as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

Airbnb listing optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Airbnb. I rewrite the title and description around how guests search, choose and order photos, and tune amenities and booking settings so Airbnb ranks the listing higher.
What I plan around in Sofia: Bansko ski resort and UK package travel; Sofia business and conference travel; Rila and Pirin hiking; Digital-nomad demand in Bansko. Guests I price for: UK and European ski groups on weekly stays, city guests on 2 to 3 night stays. Where I start: Weekly ski pricing, monthly nomad rates, and inter-season floors.
Sofia sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. For hosts in Sofia and Bansko I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with weekly ski bands, monthly rates for remote workers, festival uplifts in August and weekday business rates in the capital, keeping Airbnb and Booking.com in line with each other.
The service in general is described on my airbnb listing optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Sofia.
Airbnb reads your title, summary and details to decide which searches you appear in. I research how guests in your market search and write to match.
Guests decide in seconds. I pick the cover that wins the click, order the gallery as a story and caption the features guests care about.
Missing amenities cost filters and strict rules cost conversion. I audit every toggle and set the combination that converts without adding risk.
Ratings, response and acceptance rates and review recency all feed ranking. I set up review requests and reply templates so those signals keep improving.
“Sofia and Bansko are two markets. Bansko is a ski resort with UK package demand and a digital-nomad community, while Sofia is a business and city-break capital. I price Bansko by ski week and nomad month, and Sofia by weekday and weekend.”

Bansko's ski season peaks at Christmas, New Year and UK half-term. I price those weeks highest with seven night stays and keep Sofia flats on steady weekend rates.
Snow ends in Bansko and Sofia waits for summer. I shorten minimums, offer monthly stays to remote workers, and keep Sofia weekday rates firm for business.
Sofia's summer city-breaks pick up and the Bansko Jazz Festival in August lifts the mountain town. I price the festival and hiking weeks firmly.
Conferences return to Sofia and autumn hiking continues in Rila and Pirin. I price business weekdays firmly and lower mountain floors until ski bookings arrive.
A listing that ranks but is priced badly wastes the visibility, and a well-priced listing nobody sees earns nothing. I optimize the listing for search and conversion first, then tune the pricing around the traffic it earns.

A new Airbnb listing
You have just connected Airbnb 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 Airbnb.
Commission without much return
You pay Airbnb commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Airbnb and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Airbnb listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Airbnb: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Airbnb 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 Airbnb and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Airbnb 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 | Airbnb optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Airbnb | 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!

Bansko gondola area: Walking distance to the lift matters most here. I price ski weeks highest near the gondola and use monthly rates for remote workers outside the peak. Sofia centre and Vitosha Boulevard and Lozenets and Oborishte get their own treatment. For Airbnb listing optimization, i write location content, photos and amenity highlights on Airbnb around the specific part of Sofia the property is in.

How far a Bansko apartment is from the gondola station, since ski guests choose by distance to the lift before they compare price. For Airbnb listing optimization, i check this on Airbnb first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
