Recent Visits

The agency dashboard

A tour of the agency portal dashboard: the setup checklist, the Needs attention list, key figures, the funnel, the daily chart and the Top tours table, with what every item means and where it takes you.

On this page

The Dashboard is the first page of the portal (/partner/dashboard). It tells you what needs doing today and how travellers respond to your tours. Until your agency is live with a published tour it works as a setup guide instead.

Who can open it and how#

Every owner and manager of the agency. Sign in, then choose Dashboard at the top of the sidebar. Owners see one extra item (the profile gap) that managers do not.

Setup mode#

The dashboard shows only the setup checklist (and the Needs attention list, limited to quote requests and tours that need changes) when your agency is not Active or you have no published tour. Demo listings skip setup mode. Statistics and empty charts stay hidden until you are live, so a new agency is not shown rows of zeros.

Key figures#

Shown once you are live. Each large card compares the chosen period with the previous period of the same length and shows the change as an up or down percentage (for Median first reply, lower is better).

Funnel, Getting started, Performance and Top tours#

  • Funnel (when you have a published tour): four bars: Impressions, Clicks, Quote requests, Converted (requests you marked Converted).
  • Getting started (no published tour): the checklist Complete your profile, Create your first tour, Publish a tour, Invite a colleague, each with a button.
  • Performance: a line chart of daily impressions, clicks and quote requests, with the link Full analytics →. With no activity it says "No activity in this range yet" and explains that impressions are recorded when travellers who allowed analytics see your tours, or asks you to publish a tour.
  • Top tours: your published tours ranked by quote requests (then clicks, then impressions), top five, with the columns Tour (link to edit it), Status, Impressions, Clicks, CTR and Quote requests, and the link All tours →. With no published tour: "No published tours" and a New tour button.

How to use the dashboard#

  1. Open Dashboard each working day.
  2. Work the Needs attention list from the top: reply to requests first.
  3. Choose 7, 30 or 90 days to see whether your numbers are moving.
  4. If numbers are low, follow Analytics.

Expected result#

You always know which request is waiting, which tour needs changes and whether your agency is live.

Troubleshooting#

SymptomCause and fix
No numbers, only a checklistSetup mode: your agency is not Active yet, or you have no published tour. Finish the steps.
Impressions look lowVisitors who decline analytics are not counted in impressions. Clicks and quote requests are always counted.
"Public page after review" is greyed outThe agency is not Active. Staff set it live after their checks. See Joining Recent Visits.
I do not see the profile rowThat row is for owners. Ask an owner to complete the profile.
