What does the $2,000 Guest Journey Sprint include?

It includes a review of one hotel's guest-facing journey across mobile search, the main OTA listing, direct booking, pre-arrival information, and an on-property walkthrough. It also includes comparison with up to three nearby properties, eight evidence-ranked priorities, up to three approved improvements in existing accessible channels, a leadership readout, and one follow-up.

Does the sprint replace hotel management or staff?

No. It gives leadership an outside view of the guest journey and practical priorities. Your team continues to manage and operate the property.

What is outside the scope?

Software development, integrations, and work in channels the hotel cannot provide access to are outside scope. No business or booking outcome is promised. Any work beyond the sprint is discussed and priced separately.

What happens on the first call?

The 20-minute conversation is to understand the property, hear what prompted your interest, and determine whether the sprint may be a fit. It is not a written audit or delivery of findings.

For independent Miami Beach hotel owners and GMs

Does the experience guests find online match the stay they arrive to receive?

SignalTide works directly with independent hotel owners and general managers to trace the guest experience from mobile search and booking through pre-arrival and arrival. In a focused, founder-led sprint, Michael Brady identifies where the guest-facing journey loses clarity and gives leadership a practical, evidence-ranked action plan.

MIAMI BEACH GUEST JOURNEY REVIEW

The details guests weigh before they arrive

Every hotel is different. The sprint checks the details that matter to your property and its guests. These are review questions, not assumptions about every Miami Beach hotel.

REVIEW POINT 01

How the hotel's location and relationship to the beach are described

REVIEW POINT 02

Whether guests can understand the neighborhood and arrival options

REVIEW POINT 03

Where parking, valet, fees, policies, and other practical details appear

REVIEW POINT 04

Whether room, amenity, and service information is clear and consistent

REVIEW POINT 05

Whether the OTA listing, direct-booking path, and pre-arrival messages tell a consistent story

REVIEW POINT 06

Direct-booking economics considered in the context of the property's actual distribution mix and available booking data

HOW CUSTOMERS DECIDE

The stay starts before check-in

Guests form expectations while comparing locations, rooms, rates, reviews, policies, and the practical details of getting to the hotel. When those details are difficult to find or differ between channels, guests are left to fill in the gaps.

The sprint follows that decision path and checks whether the information guests encounter prepares them for the stay your property can deliver.

WHERE GUESTS MAY LOSE CLARITY

Where the journey can lose clarity

A strong in-person experience can still begin with unanswered questions. The sprint looks for issues such as:

Location or beach-access descriptions that may leave guests uncertain

Fees, parking, valet, policies, or arrival instructions that are difficult to find

Room, amenity, or service details that are unclear or inconsistent

Differences between OTA and direct-channel descriptions

Pre-arrival information that does not prepare guests for arrival

Photography or positioning that does not reflect the property's atmosphere

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · MIAMI BEACH

Tracing a guest question from search to arrival

Starting Point

A traveler may see different details about fees, parking, beach access, room features, or arrival across an OTA listing, the hotel website, and pre-arrival information.

SignalTide Approach

SignalTide compares the guest-facing touchpoints in scope and documents specific inconsistencies for leadership to assess.

Intended outcome · A clearer basis for deciding whether information should change · no booking or revenue outcome promised

Illustrative hotel scenario only. This is not a client case study and does not claim these conditions or outcomes occurred for a SignalTide client.

HOW THE SPRINT WORKS

The guest decision is bigger than the website

A website is one part of the decision. The sprint follows the guest journey across mobile discovery, booking, pre-arrival, and arrival, then gives leadership practical priorities to consider. Michael works directly with the owner or GM and observes the property in person. Your team continues to operate the hotel; software development and integrations are outside scope.
