Social Media Audit
Posting consistently doesn't mean it's working. A social media audit reviews your content mix, engagement quality, follower authenticity and platform strategy to tell you what's actually building your brand versus just filling a calendar.
What a Social Media Audit Covers
Every Contextread social media audit reviews these six areas in detail.
Content Mix
Balance of formats, topics and content pillars.
Posting Consistency
Cadence, timing and gaps in your publishing schedule.
Engagement Quality
Real engagement versus vanity metrics and bot activity.
Follower Authenticity
Signs of fake or low-quality followers inflating numbers.
Bio & Profile Setup
Whether profiles are optimised for discovery and conversion.
Platform Fit
Whether you're active on the right platforms for your audience.
Do You Actually Need a Social Media Audit?
Followers Growing, Engagement Isn't
Follower count climbs but likes and comments don't.
No Clear Content Strategy
Posts feel reactive rather than planned around goals.
Can't Tell What's Working
No idea which post types actually drive results.
Same Content Across All Platforms
Content isn't tailored to each platform's format or audience.
Inconsistent Posting Schedule
Weeks of silence followed by bursts of activity.
Considering a Social Media Manager
You want a baseline before hiring or briefing a new team.
Social Media Audit Pricing
Based on scope and depth of review. Every audit ends with a call to walk through the findings.

AUDITED
How Long a Social Media Audit Takes
A 1–2 platform audit takes 3 to 4 days. 3–4 platforms take 6 to 9 days. 5 or more platforms/multi-brand audits take 12 to 16 days.
We need viewer access, not admin
Analytics viewer access on each platform is enough for the audit itself.

Industries We Audit
What Happens After the Audit
An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.
Cutting platforms to focus effort
The brand was spreading thin content across five platforms. Focusing effort on the two where the audience actually engaged doubled output quality without adding headcount.
