    Coaching teaches you. A tech build does it for you.

    A coaching session puts you in the driver's seat. Your coach walks you through what needs to change, explains why it matters, and shows you how to do it yourself. You leave with skills you can use again and again.

    If you need someone to make the changes for you (website builds, technical fixes, integrations), that's our Tourism Tech Development service. Both have a place. Coaching is right when you want to understand your digital presence and be confident managing it yourself.

    Real sessions

    What coaching looks like in practice

    Every session is different. Here are five real examples.

    Eco-cabin owner. AI content and SEO. 60 min

    The operator was spending hours writing social posts and blog content. In the first 10 minutes, we understood her goals: more direct bookings and less time on marketing. We set up ChatGPT with a custom prompt for her business, showed her how to generate a month's worth of social content in 15 minutes, and optimised her three most important landing pages for search. We also checked how her property appeared in AI search tools like Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and made changes to improve her visibility there.

    3-star motel. Website review and quick wins. 60 min

    The client had planned to spend thousands on a new website because they "couldn't edit their existing one". After a few minutes, Fabienne showed the client how to log into their WordPress site and discovered it was fully featured. They spent the rest of the session making improvements together: fixing page titles for SEO, adding a booking widget to the homepage, and setting up Google Business Profile posts. The session saved the client thousands in unnecessary rebuilds.

    Tour operator. Bookings and AI productivity. 60 min

    The operator was losing bookings to OTAs and drowning in admin. We started with their goals: reduce OTA commission costs and free up time. Liz reviewed their direct booking funnel and found three conversion blockers on their website. Then we set up an AI-assisted email template system for responding to enquiries faster, and showed them how to use Google Calendar with automated booking confirmations. They left with a direct booking strategy and two hours of admin time saved per week.

    Regional attraction. Back-office and email automation. 60 min

    This destination marketing organisation needed help with internal efficiency. The session focused on setting up automated email workflows to nurture leads into bookings, using AI to draft and categorise email responses, and organising their Google Workspace so the team could find documents without searching through hundreds of folders. We also built a simple Zapier automation that sends new website enquiries straight into their booking pipeline.

    B&B owner. Google Business Profile and reviews. 60 min

    The operator had a good property but barely any Google reviews. We spent the session optimising their Google Business Profile (photos, description, categories, Q&A), setting up a simple post-stay email that asks guests for a review, and showing them how to use AI to draft professional responses to both positive and negative feedback. Within a month, their review count doubled and they started appearing in the local map pack.

    How long is a session?

    Every coaching session is 60 minutes. That is enough time to cover two or three topics in depth, or go deep on one area. If you need more time, you can book additional sessions.

    Can I get a recording of my session?

    Yes. Every session is recorded via Google Meet. After the session, you receive the full video recording, a written summary with action items, and the complete transcript. You can rewatch or search the transcript any time.

    What topics can coaching cover?

    Almost anything digital. Your coach tailors the session to whatever your business needs most. You set the agenda, and we work through it together.

    Common coaching topics

    • SEO and Google visibility including keyword research, on-page optimisation, and technical fixes
    • Google Business Profile setup, optimisation, and review management
    • Social media strategy for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn
    • AI tools including ChatGPT, Canva AI, and our own Robin AI
    • Website improvements including page speed, mobile usability, and conversion rate
    • Booking systems and channel manager integration
    • Email marketing and list building
    • Content planning including blog strategy and video
    • AI search readiness and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)

    If you are not sure what to focus on, start with a Health Check and bring the report to your coaching session. That way, your coach can prioritise the areas with the biggest impact.

    How do I book a session?

    Booking a coaching session takes three simple steps:

    • Step 1: Purchase your session on the coaching page ($275 for 60 minutes)
    • Step 2: Choose a time from the calendar link in your confirmation email. Sessions are typically available within a few business days
    • Step 3: You will receive a Google Meet link before your session. Just click to join at the scheduled time

    If you would like to combine your coaching session with a full review of your digital presence, the Health Check + Coaching bundle at $495 saves you $55 compared to buying them separately. For any questions before booking, get in touch.
