What the Marketing Audit Covers

Most marketing audits produce a PowerPoint with observations. This one produces a working document you can act on immediately: specific recommendations, explicit reasoning for each, and a prioritized list of what to address first.

Over four weeks I'll interview your founder, sales team, and key customers. I'll evaluate your messaging across every customer-facing surface, analyze your funnel data, and assess how well your team structure matches your B2B SaaS GTM motion.

You'll leave with clarity on three things: what's actually broken (not just what feels broken), what to fix first and why, and whether you're spending your limited marketing budget in the right places.

No ongoing commitment required. This is a standalone engagement built for B2B SaaS companies. Many clients use it as the foundation for the Audit + Sprint or Embedded CMO.

  • Founder interview covering goals, constraints, timeline, and board expectations
  • Sales team interviews: ICP pressure test, common objections, and messaging feedback
  • Two to three customer interviews: why they bought, what they value, what they'd change
  • Messaging audit across website, sales deck, outbound, and content
  • Funnel health review across pipeline sources, conversion rates, and CAC by channel
  • Team structure and resourcing assessment
  • Written report with ranked recommendations, explicit reasoning, and an executive summary

How the Audit Works

Four weeks to a clear picture

01
Discovery

Founder session, sales team interviews, and access to funnel data, messaging assets, and any existing research.

02
Customer Research

Two or three customer conversations. Why they bought, what they actually use, and what your positioning sounds like from the outside.

03
Analysis

Competitive landscape, full messaging audit, funnel modeling, team structure review. Findings get pressure-tested before they become recommendations.

04
Report & Debrief

Written report delivered 48 hours before the call. Ranked findings, explicit reasoning, clear priorities. Then a live walkthrough for questions.

What the audit turns up

Three patterns that show up more than anything else

Most common
The ICP is right. The message is wrong.

Most founders have found the right customer. The failure is describing that customer in terms that mean something internally but land flat externally. The gap between how your team talks about the product and how your best customers actually talk about it is almost always where the diagnosis starts.

Second most common
The channel isn't the problem.

You're probably not in the wrong channels. You're in the right ones with the wrong message or a mismatched offer. Switching channels is expensive and slow. Fixing what you say in the channels you're already in is faster and compounds across every surface at once.

Third most common
The team is capable. The direction isn't there.

When output is weak, the root cause is usually not the people. It's the absence of a strategic layer: no clear ICP priority, no positioning brief, no defined criteria for what a good lead actually looks like. The audit surfaces what's structurally missing so execution can actually work.

Common questions

About the audit and what comes next

What format is the final report?

A written document, not slides. Ranked findings with explicit reasoning for each one, an executive summary your board can read in five minutes, and a prioritized action list ordered by impact and feasibility.

You get it 48 hours before the debrief call, not the morning of. You should have read it and formed your own reactions before we talk.

Can I share it with my board or investors?

Yes. It's written with that in mind. The executive summary is designed to be readable by someone who wasn't in the room for any of the interviews.

Founders use it as context before board meetings and as a due diligence artifact when investors ask marketing questions. It reads like a business document, not a consulting output.

What happens after the audit?

Nothing is required. The audit stands on its own. Some clients take the findings and execute internally. Others use it as the foundation for the Audit + Sprint or move into the Embedded CMO engagement.

All three work. The goal of the audit is a clear picture, not a dependency on what comes next.

Who This Works For

Right fit. And not the right fit.

Good fit
  • Seed to Series B, $500K–$20M ARR, real PMF
  • Something feels off but you can't pinpoint what
  • Pipeline is slow and you're not sure if it's messaging, ICP, funnel, or team
  • About to make a bigger decision: a first hire, a new channel, a board presentation
  • Want a clear picture before committing to ongoing engagement
  • B2B SaaS with a direct or inside sales motion
Not the right fit
  • Pre-PMF. Marketing can't fix a product problem
  • You already know what's broken and need execution, not diagnosis
  • B2C, consumer subscription, or marketplace model
  • Looking for a deliverable to check a box, not act on
