For institutions · as of April 2026
The national picture, and what moves it
For SBDC, the Chamber, BCCEC, and government partners: the aggregate read of where Bahamian businesses stand digitally, and the concrete, sector-scale programs that close the gap.
The aggregate read
Three numbers that frame the opportunity
623
unclaimed Google profiles
Already listed, just unmanaged: the single most addressable gap nationally.
710
businesses with zero open doors
27.3% of the index, and the priority cohort for from-zero digital-presence programs.
137
websites running without SSL
A quick, high-trust fix. Insecure sites quietly erode customer confidence.

Program-scale interventions
Four programs the data supports
National GBP Claiming Campaign
Goal: reduce unclaimed Google profiles from 623 to under 300 in 12 months.
Workshops (10 owners per session), one-to-one assisted claiming, and a targeted outreach list by industry and island.
Standardized Digital Doors Assessment
Goal: assess 500 additional businesses in 12 months and track score improvement.
A free “Digital Doors Checkup” via SBDC / Chamber advisory; sector measurement for government programs; anonymized industry benchmarks for associations.
Industry-Targeted Interventions
Goal: one new door opened per participant per 90-minute workshop.
Door-first workshops matched to each industry’s priority door: GBP for Home Services, WhatsApp Business for Salons and Auto, and so on.
Annual Refresh: BDRI 2027
Goal: year-over-year trend data to justify continued funding.
Repeat the documented methodology; track unclaimed GBP, SSL adoption, and Facebook abandonment; consider adding Instagram and TikTok.
