Customer experience is how people feel about your business at every touchpoint—from the moment they discover you online to the second they walk out the door (and beyond). It includes everything: your website, Google listing, social media presence, physical environment, team interactions, signage, cleanliness, communication, and more. In short, it’s the full emotional and practical journey your customers take with your brand.
At Neon Compass Consulting, we offer a Full Customer Experience Review that combines both digital and in-person evaluations. We start with an in-depth analysis of your online presence—checking how easily customers can find you, how clearly your offerings are presented, and whether your digital channels inspire trust and action. Then, we visit your location to experience your business the way your customers do. This includes a full walkthrough, touchpoint inspection, service observation, and environment review.
You’ll receive a customized CX Scorecard highlighting strengths, gaps, and actionable steps—organized into short-, medium-, and long-term recommendations that directly impact customer satisfaction, repeat business, and revenue.
We help you design consistent, frictionless, and memorable experiences that not only improve operations but turn casual visitors into loyal customers and brand advocates.
