About the index
DDigiLeads, a Bahamian firm, publishes the index from public sources as public research on how businesses in its industries show up online.
DDigiLeads is a Bahamian digital-growth firm. Its founder has spent decades bringing technology to the Bahamas, and in that time he kept meeting the same problem. Capable businesses were losing customers who could not find them online. A Google Business Profile was missing, a website link no longer worked, or a message went unanswered.
The firm read each business from public sources, the way a customer would. Then it asked how many businesses had all their doors open, meaning a customer could find each one.
When a business asks for help after its reading, DDigiLeads can help it act on what the index found.

None of the three needs an account, and each is a click away on this site.
Search any business, your own included, and see which of its Four Digital Doors the index found open. Ask for the full breakdown by email from that reading. If a door is wrong, use “Update your business details” on the reading.
The Index puts every industry side by side, from the strongest online to the weakest. It also shows how often each of the Four Digital Doors is open across the country.
The Four Digital Doors webpage explains what a customer sees at each door and what makes that door count as open. It also says which doors a trade needs, and which one to start with.
Type the business name and see which of its doors the index found open.
