Google Vacation Rentals and TripAdvisor are search and metasearch channels: they show your property, rates and availability to travelers who have not decided where to book. Optimizing them means accurate listing content and photos, rate parity and availability across channels, and a direct booking link that is competitive with the OTAs.
Dublin sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Because planning rules restrict most non-principal-residence lets, short-term rental revenue management in Dublin often focuses on home-sharing within the rules or on properly permitted serviced apartments. For eligible hosts, we price event dates at the Aviva, Croke Park and the RDS individually, set premiums for St Patrick's Festival and protect summer weekends. Weekday pricing should reflect corporate demand in the Docklands.
Booking.com and Expedia lead hotel distribution, with Expedia especially strong for US visitors. Airbnb dominates home-sharing and serviced apartments. Corporate travellers book through company tools and direct contracts. We maintain parity, highlight Luas and DART access and use promotions only in January and February.
The full service is described on our other ota optimization page; this page covers how it applies in Dublin.
