Digital Engagement Health Checks ™

Tourism Tribe’s Digital Engagement Health Check™ is an in-depth analysis designed to help tourism businesses enhance their digital presence. Our expert team conducts a detailed ‘secret-shopper’ style review of tourism operators’ online assets, including your website, Google Business Profile, social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram), TripAdvisor, and online reviews. The assessment culminates in a comprehensive 57-point report written in plain English, highlighting areas where your digital presence may be falling short and providing actionable steps for improvement.

When conducted for regions or industry associations, the Digital Engagement Health Check™ provides a full overarching view of where the operators in the area stand in terms of their digital engagement. This comprehensive analysis helps identify common strengths and weaknesses across the sector, allowing associations to tailor their training programs to address the specific needs of their members.
