Every hospitality business is different.
That's why The Social Brand Studio doesn't expect you to choose a package before we've taken the time to understand your business.
Every new client begins with a Digital Presence Audit, included as part of the TSBS process.
We assess your complete online presence, identify what's working, uncover the areas that need attention and use those findings to recommend the service or package that will make the biggest difference to your business.
As part of your initial audit, your digital presence is assessed across five areas, each worth 20 points.
Together, they create your:
Can potential guests easily discover your business and find accurate, useful information?
Does your social presence accurately showcase your business, atmosphere and guest experience?
Does your online presence give visitors the information, confidence and desire they need to choose you?
What do your reviews communicate about your business — and how effectively is your online reputation being managed?
Once someone is interested, how easy is it for them to take the next step — visit, contact, enquire, reserve or book?
We don't audit platforms in isolation.
A potential guest doesn't think of your Instagram, Google listing, TripAdvisor profile and website as separate marketing channels.
They simply experience your business online.
That's why we look at how your entire digital presence works together.
Depending on your business, we'll assess areas including:
• Google Business Profile
• Google search presence
• Social media profiles
• Content and photography
• Reviews and ratings
• Review responses
• TripAdvisor and relevant tourism platforms
• Website experience
• Menus and essential guest information
• Opening hours and contact details
• Booking and enquiry journey
• Mobile experience
• Brand consistency
• Tourist appeal
• Calls to action
• Overall digital guest journey
Can they find you when they're searching for somewhere to eat, drink, stay or visit?
Once they've discovered you, can they quickly understand what you offer?
Do your photographs, reviews and digital presence make your business feel credible and worth visiting?
Have you given them enough information — and enough reason — to choose you over the alternatives?
Can they easily find directions, contact you, reserve a table, make an enquiry or complete a booking?
The audit allows us to identify where this journey is working — and where potential guests could be getting lost.
You know your business from the inside.
Your potential guest doesn't.
They may be discovering you while searching Google Maps from their hotel room, scrolling Instagram by the pool or comparing several businesses before deciding where to spend their evening.
We look at your digital presence from their perspective.
What can they find?
What can't they find?
What creates interest?
What builds trust?
What creates doubt?
And ultimately:
The audit creates the foundation for our work together.
It allows us to identify:
The parts of your digital presence that are already supporting the guest journey.
Information, platforms or digital touchpoints that need attention.
Points in the journey that may be creating confusion, friction or uncertainty.
The areas likely to make the greatest difference to your digital presence.
Instead of automatically selling you a predetermined service, we use the findings to recommend the most appropriate TSBS package or combination of services.
You shouldn't need to understand digital marketing well enough to diagnose the problem yourself.
And you shouldn't have to choose between social media management, reputation management, Google optimisation, content or a new website before anyone has looked at the bigger picture.
That's our job.
We look at the complete digital guest journey first.
Then we recommend what your business actually needs.
