Mystery shopping for small businesses

We test the complete journey from website visitor to paying customer.

Mystery shopper assessments for small businesses that show you exactly where enquiries, trust and sales are being lost — and what to do about it.

Follow-up

Industry modules

Submit a prospective-client enquiry

Professional services

Accountants, solicitors, financial advisers, consultants and agencies. We test how a prospective client is handled from first enquiry to a booked consultation.

Request a quotation

Trades and home services

Plumbers, electricians, builders, kitchen fitters, decorators, cleaners and gardeners. We test the route from first enquiry to a delivered quotation.

Ask about a service, MOT or a car for sale

Automotive

Dealerships, garages and service centres. We test the phone call chasing an MOT slot, the forecourt enquiry, and the follow-up after a service.

Respond to a fundraising ask (street, door, phone or mail)

Fundraising

Street, doorstep, telephone and direct-mail fundraising. We check the ask itself is being made well, not just the cause behind it.

Contact a charity as a donor, volunteer or shop customer

Charity

Donor care, charity shops, volunteer enquiries and service delivery — everything beyond the fundraising ask itself.

Book, arrive and dine or stay

Hospitality

Hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and event venues. We follow the whole booking-to-departure journey as a genuine guest.

Ask for advice and purchase

Retail

Shops and stores. We test product advice, floor coverage and the checkout experience against a real customer need.

Plan, book or take a journey or delivery

Transport

Bus, rail, taxi, private hire and courier services. We test the journey, and how disruption is handled.

Request a new-patient appointment

Healthcare

Private dental, optical, physio and care providers. A service-only check of the new-patient enquiry — never clinical, never safeguarding-related.

Raise a resident enquiry

Local Government

Councils. We check whether the resident experience matches published service standards across phone, web and in person.

Enquire as a prospective student or parent

Education

Schools, colleges, universities and training providers. An admissions-only check — never involving current pupils or safeguarding-sensitive interactions.

Register as a candidate, or brief a vacancy

Recruitment

Recruitment agencies. We test both sides of the relationship: the candidate journey and the employer briefing process.

Enquire about joining, or book a visit

Leisure

Gyms, health clubs, spas, cinemas and bowling. We test the sales conversation and the day-to-day visit experience.

Find, buy and return a product

Online shop / ecommerce

Online retailers and ecommerce stores. We test the full journey from searching for a product through to checkout, delivery and — if needed — a return or exchange.

Request a quote as a business enquirer

B2B

Business-to-business sales. We test response speed, technical knowledge and follow-up on a quote request.

Book or enquire about a general service

Services

Cleaning, removals, salons, letting agents and other service businesses not covered by a named sector page.

Book and visit as a day-out customer

Attraction

Museums, theme parks, zoos and heritage sites. We follow the whole day out, from booking to leaving.

More industries — restaurants, estate agents, dental practices, garages, retailers, hotels and ecommerce — are added as demand grows. Ask us if yours is not listed.
