Is your business ready for Digital Marketing?

No. We don't run campaigns, we're not owned by an agency, and we don't take referral fees for agency introductions. Our only incentive is giving you an accurate verdict — flattering or not.

Especially for you. The point of the assessment is to tell you — before your first retainer — whether your business is set up to get value from a digital marketing agency, and what a good one will expect you to already have in place. It's a lot cheaper to find the gaps now than three months into a paid engagement.

Yes. The assessment isn't about how much you've spent — it's about whether the next amount you spend, on an agency or a hire, has the foundations to work. If you're not ready, you'll get a clear "Not Yet" with the specific, mostly low-cost things to fix first.

You get a "Not Yet" or "Stop" verdict, plus specifically what to fix first — not a guilt trip. Foundations are fixable, and knowing which ones matter first saves you money you'd otherwise hand to an agency that can't succeed yet.

A consultant usually has a stake in you starting a bigger, ongoing engagement with them. This is a fixed-price, one-time assessment — there's no retainer or ongoing engagement to sign up for.

Yes — this is built for exactly that. One of the nine dimensions we assess is specifically about hiring and management readiness (can you write a real job description, who'll manage this person, can you commit to the cost for a year). Every report includes a "Which path fits you" verdict — agency, in-house, hybrid, or neither yet — based on your actual answers, not a coin flip. Detailed reports go further with a full in-house hiring guide (job scope, interview red flags, a first-90-days plan) generated alongside the agency-vetting guide, since plenty of readers are genuinely deciding between the two.

It's a compressed, board-shareable snapshot of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats — built entirely from your own dimension scores and answers, not a templated business SWOT. Every item traces back to something specific in your assessment; if a quadrant would otherwise be thin (say, no real external threat was found), we say that plainly instead of padding it with generic filler. It's the one section most people screenshot and forward to a co-founder or leadership team, since it fits the whole picture into a single image instead of a multi-page report. Included in both Basic and Detailed.

If your report tells you nothing you didn't already know, we'll refund 50% — just request it within 7 days and tell us specifically what fell flat or what you already knew. That keeps the offer honest without turning it into a free read: you get real money back, and we get feedback that makes the next report sharper.

The Basic assessment is about 20 minutes; Detailed is about 40. You can save your progress and resume later.

Yes. Your individual answers and report are yours alone. We use anonymized, aggregated scores — never identifying details — to keep our industry benchmarks accurate over time.

Basic gives you the verdict, top 3 gaps, which path fits you, and the Marketing Readiness SWOT — good for a fast gut check. Detailed adds the full dimension-by-dimension analysis, a 90-day action plan, and both an agency-vetting guide and an in-house hiring guide — worth it if you intend to act on the results.
