Marketing Audit

You’re spending money on marketing. Maybe it’s a website built a few years ago, an ad campaign someone set up and never revisited, or a social feed posting project photos without a plan behind them.

The harder question is whether you actually know which of those efforts brings in qualified inquiries and which just costs you money.

A marketing audit answers that. It’s a structured review of everything you currently run, measured against what works for construction firms competing in New York.

Why Construction Firms Need an Audit

You wouldn’t start a renovation without a site survey. Marketing is the same.

Before you invest in a new website, a rebrand, or a content push, you need to know where you stand right now.

We see the pattern often: a firm spends heavily on a website redesign but never fixes the fact that it doesn’t appear in local search for its core services. Or it runs paid ads that send traffic to a homepage with no clear way to make contact. The money leaves, and the results don’t come back.

An audit also surfaces what’s already working. The point is a full, honest picture before you spend another dollar.

An audit identifies the gaps before you throw budget at the wrong problems.

What We Audit

We review the areas that matter most for construction firms competing in New York:

  1. Website performance: load speed, mobile experience, and whether visitors can find your services and actually reach you. We check whether your portfolio is organized so an architect or property manager can judge your capability quickly.
  2. Search visibility: whether you appear when someone searches for the services you offer in your market, including your rankings, your Google Business profile, and local presence across the boroughs you work in.
  3. Content: whether what’s on your site speaks to the clients you want and sets you apart, across your service pages and project descriptions.
  4. Online presence: your profiles on directories, review platforms, and professional networks, and whether they’re complete, consistent, and working in your favor.
  5. Paid spend: if you run ads, whether the targeting and budget actually convert into inquiries rather than just clicks.

The audit gives you a factual baseline. No guessing, no assumptions - just data about where your marketing stands today.

What You Get From the Audit

You receive a clear, prioritized assessment tied to your business, with each finding placed in the context of your market and your kind of work. It gives you a factual baseline, so the next decisions have a reason behind them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is an audit different from competitor research?

An audit examines your own marketing. Competitor research examines the market around you. Most firms benefit from both, in that order.

What do we actually receive?

A prioritized written assessment of your website, search presence, content, online profiles, and paid spend, with specific findings and the issues worth fixing first.

Do we have to act on everything at once?

No. The audit ranks findings by impact, so you can sequence the work, usually through a custom action plan.
