On-site Mystery Checks
On-site Mystery Checks/Visits allow for a detailed evaluation of customer service at physical locations such as retail stores, hotels, restaurants, or even public institutions. Our Clickworkers act as regular customers to experience and assess the service process – from greeting to departure.
Online Mystery Checks
Online Mystery Checks focus on evaluating your digital channels, including websites, email communication, and social media. Our Clickworkers test usability, service quality, and the effectiveness of online interactions to ensure your online presence meets customer expectations.

What differentiates Mystery Checks, Mystery Visits, and Mystery Shopping?
Mystery Checks and Mystery Visits are designed to assess service quality, adherence to standards, and customer experience in various scenarios. Mystery Visits specifically refer to physical visits to your stores or other locations to provide a detailed on-site evaluation.
Mystery Shopping, on the other hand, is a specialized form of Mystery Check where our Clickworkers go through the entire shopping process – from the initial interaction to purchase and follow-up. This method offers deeper insights into the actual customer shopping experience.
