Video & Social Discovery

Whether visitors see you before they choose.

A visitor deciding between two destinations rarely stops at a written answer. They search video. This module measures whether your destination surfaces there, who owns the subject when you do not, and what to produce next.

What we track

Search-result presence

The questions visitors actually type into YouTube and TikTok, and whether your destination appears in the results at all.

Where you are named

Title, description, hashtags, or transcript. Each one carries different discovery weight, and we separate them rather than counting a mention once.

Creator ownership

Which creators and accounts hold the subject in your market, how large their reach is, and whether any of them are partners you already work with.

Owned versus earned

How much of your video presence comes from your own channels and how much from creators, media, and residents advocating on your behalf.

Competitive video set

The same searches run for your competitive set, so you can see who is winning the visual answer while you win the written one.

Content gaps

Subjects with real search demand and no credible video from your destination. The shortlist for your next production cycle or creator brief.

A live example

Run a search the way a visitor does.

Pick a platform and a search, and read the results the way we read them in a working session: who holds each result, whether your destination is named in the title, description, hashtags, or only the transcript, and the one move that changes it.

Why video belongs in a discovery program

  1. 1

    Video is where the trip gets decided

    Visitors watch before they book, and short-form results now sit inside the same consideration moment as an assistant answer.

  2. 2

    Assistants read video too

    Transcripts, descriptions, and captions feed the models. Absence on video becomes absence in the answer.

  3. 3

    Most destinations have no measurement here

    Channel analytics tell you how your own posts performed. They cannot tell you whether you were found.

What you do with it

A creator brief, not another dashboard tab.

Every gap resolves into a decision your team already knows how to make: a video to produce, a creator to partner with, a partner property to feature, or a caption and transcript practice to fix across the library you already own.

Partner and creator leverage

When a creator already owns a subject you care about, partnership is faster than production. We show you who to call before you brief a shoot.

Tied to campaign reporting

Video presence is tracked through your seasonal campaigns, so the lift shows up in the same reporting your board already reads.
