Digital Marketing Audit — Essential Insights

Most business owners cite a lack of insights as one of the weakest aspects of their work. They don’t know what works and what doesn’t.  They can’t figure out why their performance is lagging and where the issues really are.

Often, it takes an external, objective view to assess the matter, with a deep dive into where the weaknesses really are to turn things around.

Clients typically have weak insights into their UVP, brand, and why their marketing campaigns don’t work, or why they’re not more successful on Google and why their content isn’t working, or why they can’t convert leads. It’s all about the why’s.

That’s just it. If you have no insights nor a system for creating insights, how can you develop a marketing campaign that will create visibility, make impact, build engagement and generate leads? What’s needed is an unusually thorough review to undercover everything that’s contributing to poor performance.  All nooks and crannies need to have light shed on them. And these details need to be explained in terms of a new big picture strategy that will help you boost performance.

8 Audits in One: A Complete Review

A digital marketing audit as it’s commonly called, is a thorough initial study of a client’s business problems, processes and marketing collateral.  Without an audit of online marketing, CEOs, SMB owners and managers may not be on the right path. You could be making the same errors over and over again.

And you may not be asking the crucial questions needed to make sure you’re on the right path.

The most competent entrepreneurs, investors and SMB owners will look to a comprehensive study for clarity, guidance and actionable ideas.

The ultimate questions to be asked and answered in your audit/performance review are:

  1. what is the value online consumers/B2B buyers want?
  2. What is our main competitor doing that works?
  3. what is actually working and can be improved?
  4. what should we be doing?
  5. what’s broken and what are we doing that is a waste of time?

That’s why a digital marketing performance review is so important. It provides insight, clarity and vital recommendations for your content, website, brand, UVP, SEO, ppc campaigns and much more.

Your audit/performance review is an objective view of your online business with insights that will help you become a market leader.

Knowledge is the biggest factor in success. Managers absolutely must know their customer well and whether their value proposition is what customers are really prepared to pay for.

Unfortunately, SMB managers don’t have the energy, time and resources to study what’s wrong with their business and how it could be improved. That’s okay, because that’s what I do.
