Google Hotel Ads optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Google. I set up your Google Business Profile, free booking links and Hotel Ads, and make sure your direct booking path is competitive.
What I plan around in Zagreb: Rovinj, Poreč and Pula coastal season; Advent in Zagreb; Truffle and wine tourism; Motovun and Outlook festivals. Guests I price for: German, Austrian and Italian families on weekly coastal stays, city-breakers in Zagreb. Where I start: Weekly coastal pricing, Advent premiums in Zagreb, and off-season floors.
Zagreb sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. For hotels in Zagreb and Istria I draw on my five-star background to balance tour operator and family demand on the coast, corporate rates in Zagreb, and event fences around Advent and film festivals, with comps chosen town by town rather than across the whole region.
The service in general is described on my google hotel ads optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Zagreb.
Your profile is often the first thing a traveler sees. I complete it, correct the details and keep rates and availability accurate.
Free booking links cost nothing to appear in. I set them up, then judge whether paid Hotel Ads are worth it for your hotel.
A click only helps if the booking path converts. I review your site and engine against the OTAs and fix what loses the guest.
Reviews on these sites travel with the property. I set up a routine to collect and answer them consistently.
“Zagreb and Istria are two markets. Istria's coast sells weekly summer stays to German, Austrian and Italian families, and truffle season adds autumn. Zagreb is a city break with one of Europe's best Advent markets. I price the coast by the week and Zagreb around Advent.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Istria is very quiet and Zagreb sees business visitors. I keep coastal homes at low floors or closed and price Zagreb for weekday business and short weekends.
Spring visitors arrive in Istria and INmusic lifts Zagreb in June. I price long weekends and Easter higher on the coast and lift the festival dates in the city.
German, Austrian and Italian holiday weeks fill the coast and the Pula and Motovun film festivals add events. I price coastal homes by the week with firm minimums.
White truffle season brings food travellers to inland Istria. I price hill-town homes for weekends around truffle fairs and lower coastal rates gradually.
Advent in Zagreb draws visitors from across the region. I price December weekends highest and keep weekday rates firm for business and short breaks.
Google shows your hotel, your rates and your OTAs side by side, and the direct link only wins if it is accurate and competitive. A modest amount of careful setup here is the cheapest way I know to move bookings off commission-heavy channels.
Run Istrian coastal homes on weekly summer stays.
Price Zagreb Advent weekends as premiums.
Add truffle season in October for inland Istria.
Price Rovinj, Poreč and Pula separately.
Set coastal off-season floors.
A new Google listing
You have just connected Google 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 Google.
Commission without much return
You pay Google commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Google and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Google listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Google: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Google 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 Google and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Google Hotel Ads 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 | Google Hotel Ads optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Google Hotel Ads | 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!

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!
