Maximize revenue performance, market share
Listing in our marketplace significantly increases the number of high-value travelers able to discover and book your rooms. But to truly be successful, you need to understand your performance and know how to improve. That’s why we’ve built Property Analytics.
Property Analytics evaluates your success on our booking sites and surfaces your results against key metrics. For context, we highlight trends developing over time across our sites and compare your performance to your local market competitive set. To make your decision making easier, the Property Analytics tool identifies areas of focus and suggests actions to help you improve.

Learn how to avoid guest relocations in Partner Central. To eliminate same-day arrivals, consider setting a booking cutoff restriction to specify how many days in advance a guest must book before check-in. Read more on how to do this here. Always remember to close room types that are not available for booking and update your properties status to indicate unexpected closures.
We can help you save time in so many ways. For example, you can bulk upload room inventory and availability to quickly make updates across multiple room types. Read our step-by-step instructions to learn more.

As an Expedia Group partner, you choose how you want to accept guest payments. Options include leveraging our secure payment processing to have travelers pay online when they book and charging an Expedia Group issued virtual credit card for payment at checkout. You can also have guests pay you directly at check-out and compensate Expedia Group.
To appeal to the broadest number of travelers, you can choose to offer both options and let the guests decide what's best for them.
It isn't a problem if your property doesn't accept credit cards. We'll make sure your listing communicates how you accept payment (cash, check, credit card, etc.) so travelers are prepared when they arrive. We'll confirm with you in a call to welcome you to the Expedia Group family.
In addition to providing an easy-to-use and secure experience for travelers to book your rooms, Expedia Group invests heavily in advertising, digital marketing, and social media promotion to attract consumers from around the world to your market and individual property.
We're constantly mining our data for insights and emerging travel trends so we can both innovate and develop the best set of free and robust tools that enable you to grow your business. We also operate traveler and partner support centers to help solve the sticky logistical issues that inevitably arise when people set out to explore the world.
