What you might have questions about.

How long does this actually take?
10 business days from our kickoff call to delivery. The presentation itself takes maybe 30 minutes to read, but you'll reference it all year.

Do I need to send you stuff?
Just your website, social handles, and any brand materials you have lying around. We'll do all the detective work.

What if my brand is kind of a mess right now?
Perfect! That's exactly who this is for. We'll help you figure out what you actually need.

Is this going to be a PDF I never look at again?
Not if we do our job right. We make these useful, specific, and honest enough that you'll actually want to reference them.

Can you help me do the stuff you recommend?
Yep! At the end, we'll show you a couple options if you want our help implementing. But no pressure—the audit gives you everything you need to tackle it yourself if you prefer.

Alright, let’s do this.
