What we look at

  • Ad account structure, search terms and wasted spend, line by line
  • Conversion tracking — whether what you're counting is real
  • Technical SEO: crawl, index coverage, architecture, speed
  • Content and keyword coverage against your actual market
  • The conversion path from click to enquiry, on mobile and desktop
  • Competitor positioning in your specific searches
  • Your Google Business Profile and local visibility, where relevant

What you get

  • A written document, not a dashboard export
  • Findings ranked by expected impact against cost to fix
  • Specific instructions, at the level a developer or marketer can act on
  • An honest estimate of what each fix is worth
  • A ninety-day sequence, in order
  • A walkthrough call to argue with it
  • Full ownership — use it with us, your team, or another agency

Why we charge for it

Free audits are free because they cost nothing to produce. An automated tool generates a report, someone adds a logo, and the real purpose is the sales call. You can tell because the recommendations are the same regardless of who receives them.

Doing this properly takes a senior person the better part of two weeks. Charging for it means we can be specific instead of general, and it means we're not writing findings designed to sell a retainer. It also filters — the businesses that pay for a plan tend to be the ones who intend to act on one.

The fee is fixed and quoted up front, once we know the size of your accounts and site. It comes off your first month if you go on to work with us.

What happens if we don't like each other

You keep the document and go and execute it. That's a legitimate outcome and it happens often enough that we've priced for it. We'd rather sell a one-off audit to someone who then walks away than a monthly retainer to someone who shouldn't have signed one.

When an audit is the wrong purchase

If you're spending very little on media and your site is small, there probably isn't enough to find to justify the work — book the free session instead and we'll tell you the two or three things that matter. If you already know what's wrong and just need it built, skip the audit and go straight to the relevant service.

Common questions

Why would I pay for an audit when you offer a free session?

They're different things. The free session is thirty minutes and tells you whether there's a problem worth solving. The audit is ten days of actual work inside your accounts and produces a document your own team could execute without us. Most people who book the audit are deciding between agencies, or want the plan without the retainer.

What does it cost?

A fixed fee, quoted after a short call once we know the size of your accounts and site. It is a one-off, there is no retainer attached, and if you go on to work with us within ninety days the fee comes off your first month.

What if you find nothing wrong?

Then you've bought certainty, and we'll tell you plainly that your setup is in good shape and where the remaining upside is. It happens. It's a better outcome than being sold a retainer you didn't need.

Do I have to work with you afterwards?

No, and the document is written so you don't have to. If you do go on to a retainer within ninety days, the audit fee comes off your first month.

What access do you need?

Read access to your ad accounts, analytics and Search Console, and a look at your website and CRM if relevant. You keep ownership of everything and can revoke access the moment the audit is delivered.

How is this different from the free audits other agencies offer?

Most free audits are automated reports with a sales call attached, and they're free because they cost nothing to produce. This is manual work by a senior person, and the deliverable is specific enough to act on — which is only possible because it's paid for.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. We'd rather earn the next month than trap you in the current one. Thirty days' notice, and your accounts stay in your name throughout.

Who actually does the work?

The team you meet. We're a small, senior team — you won't be handed to a junior after the sale.
