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.
Westport sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. Short-term rental revenue in Westport depends on bank holidays and summer weeks. We set firm rates and three night minimums on bank holiday weekends, weekly rates for families in July and August, and two night minimums for cyclists in spring and autumn. Wedding parties often book several properties together, so we price group stays carefully.
Booking.com leads for Westport hotels and short couples' breaks, Airbnb carries family homes and Achill cottages, and direct bookings matter a great deal because Irish families return to the same town year after year. We keep availability synced, rates consistent and registration details clear on every channel.
The full service is described on our other ota optimization page; this page covers how it applies in Westport.
