Free Destination Marketing Analysis (DMA)
Understand how your hotel, rental, restaurant or venue appears online before deciding where to invest.
What it is
See What Potential Customers See.
Our free analysis examines publicly available information about your business presence and visible competition. You can review the findings without purchasing services or agreeing to a sales conversation.
If you would like a representative to walk through the results or arrange a consultant discussion, you can choose that option separately. The analysis is a starting point for deciding which improvements deserve attention.
Can customers find you?
Where you appear — and where you don't — when someone is choosing between you and the alternatives in your destination.
Does what they find convince them?
Whether your information, presentation and reputation give a stranger enough confidence to commit.
Can they act without friction?
Whether booking, reserving, enquiring or simply reaching you is straightforward from every place they might start.
What the analysis examines
18 categories. 160+ checks. All evidence-based.
The full analysis assesses 18 major online categories and more than 160 individual review points, each one tied to something publicly visible — so every finding is something you can go and check yourself. These are some of the areas we look at.
Discovery & search visibility
Whether people looking for a business like yours — locally, nationally and from abroad — find you at all.
Destination positioning
How well your business is connected to the attractions, events and demand already drawing visitors.
Listings & information consistency
Whether hours, location, contact details and offerings agree everywhere customers check.
Website & customer confidence
Whether your site answers the questions that decide a visit — and builds enough trust to act.
Booking, reservation & enquiry paths
How easily someone can reserve a table, book a room, request an event date or simply reach you.
Reputation & reviews
What prospective customers see, how current it is, and whether it is being managed.
Photography & presentation
Whether your visuals do justice to the space, the offering and the experience.
Social & customer engagement
Presence, consistency, and whether what's happening reaches people planning a visit.
Competitive positioning
How you compare with the alternatives a customer weighs you against in the same destination.
Why destination marketing
Your business isn't chosen in isolation.
Visitors choose a destination first, then what to do once they arrive. Ordinary digital marketing looks only at the business; we look at the business inside its destination.
We factor in the whole picture:
The result
Positioning that borrows the momentum of the destination around you — reaching visitors from local to international, not only the people who already know you exist.
The complete journey
We follow the whole decision, not one moment of it.
Discovery is only the beginning — we look for where confidence, clarity or momentum breaks down.
- 01
Discover
How customers and travelers first find the destination — and you.
- 02

- 03
Trust
Whether your listings, photos, information and reviews build confidence.

The moment they decide on you rather than someone else.
- 05
Book
How easily they can reserve, book, enquire or simply arrive.
- 06
Return
Whether they come back, review, and recommend you.

A prioritized analysis — not a vague audit.
Each area is assessed and ranked so you can see, at a glance, what is working and where the fastest, highest-value opportunities are. Below is an illustrative example.

Common questions
What is a DMA?
DMA stands for Destination Marketing Analysis: a researched review of how your business appears to the market. We follow the public customer journey around your business, your destination and your competitive environment, and organise what we find into visible strengths, weaknesses and opportunities.
Is this software I run myself?
No. There is nothing for you to configure, install or operate. You tell us about the business, and we prepare the analysis.
Do I have to talk to someone to get my results?
No. After you request the DMA we ask whether you would like one of our representatives to go over your results and help schedule a time to speak with a consultant. It is optional: if you say no, you still receive the same free analysis.
What do I need to provide?
As much or as little as you have: your business name and location, your website, listings and social profiles, booking or reservation links, upcoming events, and anything about your customers, seasonality or current marketing concerns. We work with what's available.
What does it cost?
The DMA is free, with no obligation. Going deeper, the Complete Digital Report is a one-time US$600 (Bars, Restaurants & Entertainment), and the Full Report and Consultation — the report plus one hour with our team — is US$1,000. Advanced development and marketing are quoted separately.
Who is it for?
Businesses in two sectors. Hotels, Resorts & Accommodations: hotels, resorts, accommodation-based private clubs, serviced apartments and vacation-rental operators. Bars, Restaurants & Entertainment: restaurants, cafés, bars, nightlife, music, shows and event venues.
Am I obliged to act on the findings?
No. The DMA gives you a ranked picture of the opportunities and you decide what to pursue — and whether we're involved in any of it.
