Pub Health Index v2.0 — 44 Pubs Audited Across 7 Digital Pillars

Prepared April 2026 by PubPostPro

Complimentary Estate Audit

Executive Summary

We audited all 44 Harvey's Brewery pubs across Sussex, Kent, Surrey & London using our proprietary Pub Health Index — a 100-point scoring system measuring 6 pillars of digital health using publicly available data only.

10 pubs reach "Thriving" status (Band A). A significant portion of the estate (6 pubs, 14%) sits in Band D — Critical — meaning they are effectively invisible to the digital-first customer who now drives 70%+ of pub discovery.

The strongest performers — Foresters Arms (East Hoathly), The Bull (Ditchling), Bricklayers Arms (Penshurst) — show what's possible when individual publicans invest in digital. But there is still significant room for improvement. The estate average is 65/100, firmly in "Stable" territory.

This represents a significant untapped opportunity. A coordinated digital programme across the estate could lift 6+ pubs from Critical to Stable within 90 days.

Methodology

Each pub is scored across 6 pillars using publicly available data only — no pub cooperation required. Scores are based on data gathered April 2026.

Review Reputation — real Google star rating/17

Review Volume — real Google review count/17

Social Presence — a real Facebook/Instagram page and website confirmed to exist/16

Website Quality — a real Google Lighthouse audit (performance, SEO, best practices, accessibility)/17

Social Engagement — real posting frequency on Facebook/Instagram in the last 90 days/17

Content Freshness — whether the website has a blog/news/events section and how recently it was updated (a disclosed heuristic, not a hard measurement like the other five pillars)/16

Health Bands: A (80-100) Thriving | B (60-79) Stable | C (40-59) At Risk | D (20-39) Critical | F (0-19) Invisible
