Mystery shopping and brand audit services in Columbus Ohio — find out what your customers actually experience

Most mystery shopping programs tell you whether your staff smiled and offered the loyalty program. PSI’s mystery shopping service goes significantly further — because our investigators are trained to identify unauthorized product sales, policy violations, theft indicators, and compliance failures that standard shoppers miss entirely.
We work with Ohio retailers, hospitality operators, financial services companies, and franchise businesses to design brand-specific audit programs that document the real customer experience. When illegal activity is identified — theft, kickbacks, side transactions — PSI’s Investigators gather video-documented, admissible evidence that supports disciplinary action, termination, and if necessary, prosecution. This is not a survey. It is a real investigation.
