I think most will agree that 2020 has taken us all for one wild ride. As the year comes to a close, I can’t stress enough the importance of performing a digital audit for your small business’s marketing efforts. In this blog post, I’ll cover what a digital marketing audit is, why it’s so crucial for your business, and steps you can take to ensure you’re doing it correctly. Let’s get started!
What is a Digital Marketing Audit?
A digital marketing audit is a comprehensive review of your business’s digital marketing efforts and assets over a particular period. This includes investigating your strategies, practices, posts, ads, and other assets to understand how they performed in the digital sphere.
Why Is It Important?
Digital marketing audits are essential because they enable you to see what is and isn’t working for your business – thereby empowering you to make well-informed marketing decisions. They force you to take a step back and gain an eagle’s eye perspective of your efforts. You may then use this knowledge to inform and advance future marketing goals and strategies.
When Should I Audit My Digital Assets?
The best time of year to review your analytics and audit your assets is at the end of the year (end of Q4). We also recommend performing a digital audit at the start of a new quarter or before/after any significant business milestone.
