Journey Based Measurement · Worked example

Where the Fiji journey leaks — and how we'd measure closing it

Tourism Fiji doesn't need a new platform. It needs the one you have — Where Happiness Comes Naturally — to convert. This is what our measurement system would look like pointed at your funnel: the leaks we've already found, and the dashboard you'd track them on, month over month.

Illustrative — built from Data Story's public audit of fiji.travel + your RFP targets. Populates with live data once connected. · Prepared for the Tourism Fiji agency tender.

The operating rhythm

One monthly loop, run against your goals

We start with your target, work backward to the data, find the opportunity, and every month we measure whether we moved the needle. Not every move does — the system finds what works cheaply, then we push it hard.

1

Map

Pull your full digital footprint into one customer-journey model. Baseline every stage.

2

Find

Locate where the journey leaks and which fix moves a commercial target.

3

Act

Test the highest-leverage fix — SEO, GEO, CRO, CRM — smallest bet first.

4

Measure

Attribution shows what worked. Keep it, scale it, or drop it. Repeat.

Your funnel, as we found it

Every finding below is from our public audit of fiji.travel — no access to your analytics needed. Each leak is a measurable target, and the RFP already sets the number.

Stage
What we found
The leak → the target it moves
01 · DiscoverInspiration
Fiji ranks strongly on its own name and place names (Nadi, Mamanuca) and on weather queries. But it's absent from category demand — "best island holiday from Australia" and the equivalent AI answers.Own the answer
Invisible before you're chosen. Fiji owns ~72% of its traffic on branded terms; category/inspiration demand is ~3% of the top footprint. → Sessions 13.4m → 20m
02 · CompareConsideration
"Fiji vs Bali", "Fiji vs Tahiti" answers are assembled by OTAs, a single resort's content marketing (turtlefiji.com), and AI comparison aggregators — rarely by fiji.travel.Own the answer
Someone else narrates Fiji. On high-intent comparison queries fiji.travel is largely absent from the cited sources. → Sentiment shift + consideration ≥3%/market
03 · PlanPlanning
79% of ranking traffic is informational; only ~2% touches accommodation or booking. The deals & offers hub is thin, and the online marketplace isn't live yet.Connect the funnel
The dream has nowhere to convert. Planning intent lands on inspiration pages with no booked-intent capture. → Conversion rate (baseline + lift)
04 · BookConversion
Booking hands off to OTAs. There is no Fiji Airways link on any consumer page we crawled — despite Fiji Airways being named in your leads KPI. Lead paths leave the site untracked.Connect the funnel
Leads leave unmeasured. The single biggest KPI runs through paths the site doesn't instrument. → Leads to operators + Fiji Airways 48,492 → 75,000
05 · AdvocateRetain
Newsletter signup is a 7-field form with no value exchange. No on-site UGC or social proof feeds return visits.Grow & know the audience
Audience not captured or re-engaged. Rich first-party signal is asked for but not incentivised. → Database signups → 80,000

Where we'd start

Lowest-hanging fruit first

Iterative, not rip-and-replace. We'd test these before anything expensive, because each moves a named target and needs no rebuild.

Book

Instrument the lead paths

Add + track operator and Fiji Airways lead journeys so the biggest KPI is finally measurable. Attribution before optimisation.

Plan

Populate deals & bridges

Connect inspiration pages to booked-intent capture and a working offers layer — the dream-to-book bridge.

Discover

Own the category answer

GEO + SEO on the inspiration and comparison demand Fiji ranks zero for, so fiji.travel enters the answer.

Retain

Value-exchange the signup

Trade a seasonal guide or planner for the sign-up; progressive profiling to grow the database toward 80k.

The instrument

Your monthly JBM dashboard

A single view of every RFP target, the channel driving it, and where AI is (or isn't) recommending Fiji. Baselines and targets are your real RFP numbers; progress and the GEO scoreboard are illustrative until connected.

The point of the panel isn't the numbers — it's that every one becomes knowable once the journey is instrumented. Today, most of this is invisible.

Why "illustrative". We've had no access to your GA4, Search Console or CRM — this mock is built from public audit evidence and your RFP targets, on purpose. The GEO scoreboard fills with real 7-engine data from a live measurement run. The dashboard's value is the structure: goal-first, every target owned, every channel attributable.
