Digital Marketing Audit
Most businesses find out something is broken in their marketing only after they've spent months of budget on it. A digital marketing audit finds the leaks first — across SEO, paid ads, social, content, email and your website — so you know exactly what to fix and in what order.
What a Digital Marketing Audit Covers
Every Contextread digital marketing audit reviews these six areas in detail.
SEO & Technical
Rankings, crawlability, site speed, metadata, and content gaps against competitors.
Paid Ads (PPC)
Wasted spend, targeting accuracy, ad relevance, and conversion tracking across platforms.
Social Media
Content mix, posting consistency, engagement quality, and organic vs. paid balance.
Content Marketing
Funnel coverage, topic relevance, publishing cadence, and content driving no traffic.
Email Marketing
List health, automation flows, open and click rates, and revenue attribution.
Website & CRO
Landing page performance, load speed, mobile experience, and conversion friction points.

Traffic Has Plateaued
Growth has stalled for two or more quarters with no clear reason why.
Ad Spend Is Rising, Leads Aren't
You're spending more on ads each month but lead volume stays flat.
No Clear ROI Tracking
You can't say with confidence which channel is actually driving revenue.

AUDITED
How Long a Digital Marketing Audit Takes
A quick single-channel audit takes 2 to 3 days. A standard multi-channel audit takes 5 to 7 days. A full enterprise audit with competitor benchmarking takes 10 to 15 days, depending on how many ad accounts and properties we need access to.
Access is the biggest delay
Most delays come from waiting on analytics or ad account access, not the audit work itself. We send an access checklist on day one to keep things moving.

What Happens After the Audit
An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.
Fixing tracking and landing pages first
The audit found broken conversion tracking and slow product pages were the two biggest leaks. Both were fixed inside the first 30 days of the action plan.
