Free self-score and printable audit

Find the holes in your guest system

Twenty-one yes/no checks, three for each of the seven stages a guest goes through, from first thinking about a trip to telling a friend about your place. Every "no" is a hole. Each hole leaks one of the four numbers your guest income is made of: Leads, Conversion, Frequency or Margin. You'll see where yours are, which lever they leak, and a rough idea of what they cost you, using your own numbers.

How the audit works

1 · Seven stages

Awareness, Discovery, Evaluation, Booking, Experience, Post-Stay, Advocacy. The same seven stages as our guest-journey map.

2 · Four levers

Leads × Conversion × Frequency × Margin. Because they multiply, a leak in one drags the whole total. The growth math →

3 · What closes it

Each check names the feature that closes the hole and the lowest level that includes it: Fill Your Nights or Book Them Twice.

LLeads How many people ask about a stay or look closely at booking with you.
CConversion The share of those people who actually book.
FFrequency How many times each guest stays with you over the years.
MMargin What you keep from each stay after platform fees.

What the holes could be costing you

Put in rough numbers for one year. This uses the same multiplication as our growth-math calculator, applied only to the levers where you have a hole. Every assumption is listed under the result, and you can change it.

Assumptions behind these numbers
  • Starting point: nights booked × average nightly rate. That is your gross booking revenue before fees and cleaning. The growth-math page starts from what you keep per stay; the multiplication is the same.
  • Which levers move: only levers with at least one unticked check in the seven guest stages. A lever with no holes is left flat. The doors-and-money checks are not counted here.
  • How much they move: the gain you set on the slider (10% to start, the same example gain used on the growth-math page). We do not claim any particular gain; it depends on your market, your property and how you run it.
  • Why it multiplies: income = Leads × Conversion × Frequency × Margin, so two levers each up 10% gives 1.1 × 1.1 = 1.21, or 21% more. That is the growth-math formula.
  • Frequency close-up: past guests × the same gain % × average stay × nightly rate. For example, 10% means one in ten of your past guests books one more stay.
  • Margin close-up: those extra stays × your own platform fee %, i.e. the fee you would not pay if they booked direct. Direct bookings still pay card processing, which this leaves in.
  • This is a calculator, not a forecast or a result. See our earnings disclaimer.
