In Thessaloniki, I price June to August as the peak and November to March as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

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 Thessaloniki: Halkidiki beach season; Thessaloniki International Fair and Film Festival; Balkan road-trip travel; Student calendar. Guests I price for: Balkan and European families on weekly Halkidiki stays, city-breakers in Thessaloniki. Where I start: Weekly coastal pricing, city event premiums, and off-season floors.
Thessaloniki sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set weekly summer stays for Halkidiki and dated events for Thessaloniki, such as the September fair and the November Film Festival, aligning Airbnb and Booking.com so rates and rules match. That keeps the coast full in summer and the city earning through autumn and winter.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Thessaloniki.
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.
“Thessaloniki and Halkidiki are two markets. Halkidiki's beaches sell weekly summer stays to Balkan and European families, while Thessaloniki's peak is autumn with the International Fair and Film Festival. I price the coast by the week and the city by events.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Halkidiki homes mostly close, while Thessaloniki relies on students, business visitors and the Film Festival; I price city flats for monthly stays and short event peaks.
Easter and warm weekends bring Balkan drivers to the coast and city breakers to Thessaloniki; I price weekends firmly and keep midweek stays flexible.
Kassandra and Sithonia fill with families on weekly stays, so I run Saturday changeovers and price July and August highest.
The International Fair in September and student arrivals lift the city, while Halkidiki stays warm; I price both firmly and relax stay lengths in October.
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!
