For winery owners

Is your website quietly turning away tasting guests?

BrixSiteScore checks your winery's website against 13 things that affect bookings, wine club signups and how you show up in search. You get a plain-English report with a score out of 100.

Small website gaps, real lost business

Lost tasting bookings

If reservations are hard to find, slow to load on a phone, or lead to a broken page, visitors may give up before they book.

Missed wine club signups

Your club is a key source of repeat revenue. If it's buried or hard to reach on mobile, fewer people join.

Weaker search visibility

Missing page titles, descriptions and business data make it harder for Google to show your winery clearly.

How the score works

Example winery (fictional) — results modeled on our real scan of 57 Lodi winery websites

Only 3 of 57 Lodi winery homepages have all four basics Google and phone visitors look for

  • 3 of 4 Lodi wineries are missing the business details Google uses to show their hours, address and winery info (43 of 57).
  • More than half have no tap-to-call phone link on the homepage (31 of 57).
  • More than half have no Google Maps or reviews link (31 of 57).
  • 15 of 57 have none of those three.
FICTIONAL SAMPLE WINERY — Vine & Barrel Cellars is not a real winery. It's made up to show what a typical Lodi winery report looks like.

What you get

A free report

Your score out of 100, the problems we found, and what each one may be costing you in tasting bookings, wine club signups and search visibility, explained in plain English.

Your whole site checked

We look beyond the homepage, including phone speed on key pages.

Help with the fixes

When you're ready, fixing is a paid service, offered two ways. On most platforms we can make the changes directly with your permission. Where a web designer manages your site, we work alongside them. Either way, a follow-up scan shows the improvement.

Example only, fictional winery

Vine & Barrel Cellars (fictional winery, California)

Our assumption: 10 would-be visitors a month give up because they can't book, find directions or tap to call.

Published California averages: $86 spent per tasting room visitor, 5.4% of visitors join the wine club, $1,093 a year per club member (Community Benchmark, 2025).

  • Tasting room sales: 10 visitors × $86 = $860 a month ($10,320 a year)
  • Wine club: 120 lost visitors a year × 5.4% ≈ 6.5 members × $1,093 = about $7,100 a year
  • Possible total: about $17,400 a year (roughly $1,450 a month)

Club members often stay for years, so the long-term cost can be higher: the average member is worth about $2,635 over their membership (SVB/First Citizens DTC Report, 2025).

This is an example, not a promise. Your free report uses your own visitor numbers and shows a range, with every assumption listed.
