Free marketing health check

How hard is your marketing working?

Fifteen questions, about three minutes, and a straight answer. You will get a marketing effectiveness score out of 100, a breakdown across five areas, and three specific things I would do next if this were my business.

Honest answers give better results.

What it looks at

Five areas that decide whether marketing works

Most SMEs are not short of marketing activity. They are short of direction, visibility and ownership. The health check scores all five so you can see which one is holding the rest back.

Direction

Whether your marketing knows who it is for and what it needs to achieve.

Activity

Whether what you are doing is planned and consistent, or reactive and scattered.

Performance

Whether you can see what is generating enquiries, customers and revenue.

Message & Content

Whether your message lands and your content earns its place.

Resource

Whether marketing has the ownership, time and budget to actually work.

The health check

Answer honestly, not optimistically

There are no trick questions and no wrong answers. Pick whichever option is closest to how things actually are right now.

Fifteen questions. About three minutes.

Answer honestly rather than optimistically. You will get a score out of 100, a breakdown across five areas of your marketing, and three specific things I would do next.
