What this is

Most operators know something is not working. Very few know which thing, or which one to deal with first.

We go through everything a potential guest sees, from the first search to the moment they either book or leave. Your website, your search visibility, your listings, your content, the way the offer is presented and the path someone has to walk to give you money.

Then we tell you what is actually costing you bookings, ranked, with a plan for the next 90 days. You run it yourself, or hand it to whoever does your marketing.

What you get

Everything written down, so you are not working from memory after the call.

A prioritised 90 day plan

The written work plan. What to fix, in what order, with the reasoning behind the ranking and a sense of the effort each one takes.

A recorded website walkthrough

Screen recording of us going through your site the way a traveller would, naming every place the path breaks down.

Competitor and market review

Who you are actually being compared to, how they position themselves, and where the opening is for you.

Search and visibility check

What you are being found for, what you are being shown for, and whether Google understands what your business actually is.

Content and channel assessment

What your photography, films and social presence are doing for you, and the gaps between what you have and what the decision needs.

Two working calls

An opening session where I ask the questions your answers raise, then ninety minutes going through the findings. The second one is recorded, so you can revisit it.

How it works

30 days from your completed questionnaire.

Step one

The Questionnaire

I send it the moment your payment lands. You tell us how the business really works. Your seasons, your guests, your pricing, what you have already tried.

Step two

The Opening Session

Once your answers are back I send you a booking link. Then we sit down together so I can ask the questions your answers raise.

Step three

We Dig

Website, search, listings, competitors, content and channels. All of it from the outside in, the way a traveller finds you.

Step four

The Call

Ninety minutes together going through what we found, and what it means for the season ahead. Recorded for you.

Step five

The Plan

You receive the written plan after that call, giving you clarity on your highest priority marketing actions for the next 90 days.

Is this the right one?

The Audit suits you if

  • You run your own marketing and want to know where to aim it
  • You operate outside Newfoundland and Labrador
  • You have paid for work before and nothing changed
  • You want a professional opinion before spending on production
  • You have someone who can do the work, and they need a clear plan

Look at the Transformation instead if

  • You are in Newfoundland and Labrador (and likely qualify for funding), because you would pay less for far more
  • You want the work done rather than a plan to do it yourself
  • You need films and photography, which the Audit does not include

If you are unsure which one fits, book a discovery call and we will work it out together.

$1,475

CAD to start. $2,950 in total, plus applicable taxes.

50% deposit due at the start. The balance is due when the plan is ready.

Pay the deposit and we will send the questionnaire to kick off the project. Once we receive the completed questionnaire the 30 day timeline begins, and we book your opening session from there.

The balance is due before the written plan is delivered.

If you later move to a Tourism Marketing Transformation, we build from this plan rather than starting over.

Questions operators ask

If your question is not here, send it over before you book.

How is this different from the marketing plan inside a Transformation?

The Audit is a diagnosis. It tells you what is wrong, what matters most, and the order to work through it. You carry out the work yourself.

The marketing plan inside a Transformation is a build specification. It defines your customer cohorts, your brand voice, the message for each audience, the film and photography scope, the campaign structure and the numbers the work will be measured against, because we are the ones building from it.

One is written to be right. The other is written to be built.

How does the payment work?

Half up front, which starts the work and brings you the questionnaire. The remaining half is invoiced before your written plan is delivered.

By the time the balance falls due you will have completed the questionnaire, sat through the opening session and had the ninety minute call where we go through everything we found. You know what you are getting before you pay the rest of it.

Do you need access to my analytics?

It helps a great deal, and it is not essential. If you have Google Analytics and Search Console we will ask for view access. If you have neither, that is a finding in itself.

I am outside Canada. Does that matter?

Not at all. The Audit is remote and works anywhere. The funding programs that can support the Transformation are Atlantic Canadian. The Audit exists for operators who cannot qualify for funding support.

What happens after I get the 90 Day Plan?

You implement the plan, step by step.

If you would like a check-in once you are into the work, we offer a 60 day implementation call as an optional add-on. And if the plan makes it clear you need the full build rather than a list of fixes, the Transformation picks up where the audit left off.

Guessing is expensive. Thirty days and you will know exactly where to aim.
