Marketing Audit.

Clarity and insight into what’s really driving revenue.

Marketing Audit & ROI Review

Clarity, accountability, and measurable insight into what’s really driving revenue.

Most SMEs are doing marketing – but very few can confidently answer one question:

Is our marketing actually working?

The Marketing Audit & ROI Review is designed to give you a clear, unbiased answer.

This is not a surface-level audit or a report full of generic recommendations. It’s a practical, commercially focused review of how your marketing and sales efforts perform together, and where revenue is being lost, wasted, or under-optimised.

Who This Is For

This service is built specifically for South African SMEs who:

  • Are spending money on marketing but can’t see clear ROI
  • Have leads coming in, but sales results are inconsistent
  • Work with agencies or freelancers but lack accountability
  • Suspect conversion and follow-up are costing them revenue
  • Want clarity before increasing marketing spend

If you want more activity, this is not for you.
If you want better outcomes, it is.

What a Marketing Audit.

What a Marketing Audit & ROI Review Really Is.

At its core, this review answers three critical questions:

  • What is currently happening in your marketing and sales system?
  • What impact is this having on revenue?
  • What should be fixed first to improve results without overspending?

We evaluate marketing in context, not in isolation – because leads don’t create revenue, conversion does.

What We Review

1. Marketing Strategy & Focus

We assess whether your marketing activity aligns with real business objectives or is driven by habit, opinion, or agency recommendations.

  • Clarity of goals and KPIs
  • Channel prioritisation
  • Strategic focus vs scattered activity

2. Messaging & Positioning

We review how clearly your business communicates value and differentiation.

  • Website and core messaging
  • Value proposition clarity
  • Consistency across platforms

Unclear messaging doesn’t just reduce leads – it attracts the wrong ones.

3. Lead Generation Channels

We examine where leads are coming from and whether those channels are working as expected.

  • Paid vs organic performance
  • Lead quality, not just volume
  • Channel efficiency and waste

4. Sales & Conversion Process

This is where most revenue is lost.

We assess:

  • Response times to enquiries
  • Lead handling consistency
  • Follow-up discipline
  • Sales ownership and accountability

Most SMEs don’t have a traffic problem – they have a conversion problem.

5. Tracking, Reporting & ROI Visibility

We evaluate how well marketing performance is measured and linked to revenue.

  • What’s tracked vs what’s guessed
  • CRM usage and pipeline visibility
  • Ability to calculate return on spend

If ROI isn’t visible, decision-making becomes expensive.

What This Audit Is Not.

To be clear, this audit is not:

  • A free strategy session
  • A list of tools to buy
  • A guarantee of overnight results
  • A disguised ad pitch

It is an independent, professional assessment intended to give you clarity and control.
