How is it calculated?

Currently we use the same compset as RGI (Revenue Generation Index)

IHG social media Score/ Comp Set social media Score X 100 = GSI Score

(E.g. (4.2/3.9) x 100 = 107.69)

Like RGI (Revenue Generation Index) the scoring is the same

100+ Out perform compset average.

<100 Under perform compset average.

​GSI & RGI

Having a good score on social media, increases your visibility and opens more opportunities for potential guests to choose you.

This will allow your hotel the chance to position a better price point and driving more revenue.

RGI score is affected by many factors and having an engaged, winning team in Operations and in Commercial will drive your results.

GSI shows much less volatility than RGI at a rolled up level. As a rule of thumb, 1pt of GSI = 4pts of RGI

Guest Love and Social Media

High social media scores = High Guest Love scores

Guest Love and social media scores have extremely strong correlation. If a hotel has a good Guest Love score they will most likely have a good social media score as well.
