Independent Digital Marketing Audits

Know what your digital marketing is actually doing.

Marketing Audit Co. independently reviews digital marketing performance, spend, tracking, attribution, and reporting — and, where the data allows, follows it through to the business results it was supposed to produce.

The problem

Marketing reports do not always tell the whole story.

Most reporting comes from the same accounts and the same team responsible for the performance being reported. That is not evidence of a problem — but it is a reason a second, independent look is often useful.

  • Advertising conversions do not match CRM revenue.
  • Lead volume rises while booked business does not.
  • Multiple platforms claim credit for the same revenue.
  • An agency report looks strong while actual sales decline.
  • SEO traffic increases without meaningful leads.
  • It is unclear which marketing sources actually produce customers.
  • Agency reporting cannot be reconciled with the underlying accounts.
  • Google Ads conversions look strong while revenue does not move.
Business outcomes

Your marketing reports conversions. Your business runs on revenue.

Clicks, conversions, and lead counts can tell part of the story. Where systems allow, Marketing Audit Co. examines whether reported marketing performance reconciles with qualified leads, appointments, sales, and actual revenue — as far through the customer journey as the available data permits.

  1. Marketing spend

    Budget committed across channels

  2. Traffic or interaction

    Clicks, calls, visits, impressions

  3. Lead

    Form fill, call, chat, booking request

  4. Qualified lead

    Appointment or sales-ready opportunity

  5. Sale

    Closed deal or completed transaction

  6. Revenue

    Recognized in the business’s own records

Where tracking is incomplete, this is typically where the trail from marketing activity to business outcome starts to break down.

Independence

We are not here to take over your marketing.

Marketing Audit Co. does not perform an audit in order to win the account. The purpose is an independent assessment. If your current agency or internal team is performing well, the report will say so. You decide what happens next.
