Digital Audits
Whilst our digital audits are not strictly compulsory, we urge all clients to carry out one of our complimentary stage one digital audits. Clients who carry out one of our audits are most likely to capitalise most effectively from our services. It also ensures that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet and working towards the same end goal.
Our stage one audits provide an unbiased view; a way of understanding the current state of play within your business. It helps us to identify the areas where your marketing efforts could be generating a better ROI, as well as highlighting quick wins and prioritising the longer term tasks into manageable chunks, ordered and categorised in a way that meets your needs as a growing business.
Following a stage one review, we offer clients a more detailed, deeper analysis of their business, where we detail the areas covered below. Our stage two audit can be tailored to your needs: we can analyse all areas or individual areas depending on your individual requirements.
