Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Agoda optimization for hotels for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Westport, Ireland, one to one, remotely and in GMT / IST (UTC+0 / +1).

What is Agoda optimization for hotels in Westport?
Agoda optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Agoda. I complete your property and room content in YCS, set promotions, secret deals and rate channels, and manage the signals Agoda ranks on.
What I plan around in Westport: Westport town and the Great Western Greenway; Croagh Patrick; Achill Island; Irish domestic holidays. Guests I price for: Irish families and couples on 2 to 7 night stays and cyclists. Where I start: Summer and bank holiday premiums, weekly rates and short-term letting registration.
Westport sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. For Westport and Mayo hotels I work on bank holiday pricing, weddings and family packages, plus length-of-stay controls on summer weekends. I apply the revenue habits from years in five-star chain hotels to a busy holiday town with strong domestic demand and very few slow summer weekends.
The service in general is described on my agoda optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Westport.

Agoda optimization for hotels in Westport: how I approach it
Agoda contributes very little to Westport hotels, since nearly all guests come from Ireland, Britain and North America. If the hotel keeps the connection, I make sure the YCS content is correct and that rates never undercut the hotel's own website. I would not run promotions there, because a parity slip on a bank holiday costs more than the channel brings in a year.
My first task is pulling Agoda's production for the past year and agreeing with the owner whether to keep it connected or close it down.
November to FebruaryLow
I keep winter floors realistic, price Christmas and New Year as their own band, and allow two-night weekends for couples and walkers on quiet breaks.
March to MayShoulder
Easter, the May bank holiday and the first greenway cyclists bring early demand, so I lift weekends and publish summer weeks before families start planning.
Achill Island
Beaches such as Keem Bay and the end of the greenway draw families and walkers on longer stays, so I price weekly in summer and keep shoulder breaks available.
Agoda is strongest in Asia-Pacific and growing elsewhere, and its travelers respond to complete content and well-used promotions. Hotels that copy a Booking.com profile across rarely rank well, so I rebuild the Agoda profile for the people who actually search there.

A new Agoda listing
You have just connected Agoda 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 Agoda.
Commission without much return
You pay Agoda commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Agoda and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
