Felinfoel Brewery — Estate Digital Health Report

Pub Health Index v2.0 — 55 Pubs Audited Across 7 Digital Pillars
Prepared August 2026 by PubPostPro
Complimentary Estate Audit

Executive Summary

We audited all 55 Felinfoel Brewery pubs across West Wales using our proprietary Pub Health Index — a 100-point scoring system measuring 6 pillars of digital health using publicly available data only.

The findings are stark: not a single Felinfoel Brewery pub scores above 78/100. Zero pubs reach "Thriving" status. Nearly half the estate (32 pubs, 58%) 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 — The Copper Pot (Cardigan), Champion Brewers (Morriston Swansea), Pembrey Country Inn (Pembrey Llanelli) — show what's possible when individual publicans invest in digital. But these are exceptions. The estate average is 37/100, firmly in "Critical" territory.

This represents a significant untapped opportunity. A coordinated digital programme across the estate could lift 32+ 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 August 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
