Marketing &
Brand Checkup

NOT SURE WHAT YOUR MARKETING NEEDS?

Start with a fresh set
of eyes..

You know your marketing could be better. But is the problem your website? Your message? Your brand? Search visibility? Advertising? Social media? Or the way all of those things work together?

The WCG Marketing & Brand Checkup gives you an experienced outside perspective on what’s working, what’s getting in the way and where your marketing dollars and attention can have the greatest impact.

THE PROBLEM

When everything needs attention, where do you start?

That's what we're looking for.

Most businesses aren't doing nothing.

You may already have a website, social media, advertising, email marketing, sales materials, Google visibility and people creating content.

The problem is knowing what’s actually helping — and what isn’t.

Sometimes the most obvious problem isn’t the real problem. More social media won’t fix unclear positioning. More advertising won’t help if the landing experience isn’t converting. And a new website won’t solve a message that doesn’t give customers a reason to choose you.

What we look at.

Depending on your business and what’s relevant, we’ll evaluate:

1 | Brand & Messaging

Positioning, key messages, differentiation, visual consistency, calls to action and how well your brand represents the business today.

2 | Website

Messaging, navigation, user experience, mobile experience, calls to action, visual presentation and conversion opportunities.

3 | Search & SEO

Google visibility, important searches, Google Business Profile, basic on-page SEO, competitor visibility and content opportunities.

4 | Social Media

Content, consistency, messaging, frequency, engagement and how well social supports your larger business objectives.

4 | Advertising

Current advertising, messaging, offers, creative, landing-page alignment and available high-level performance information.

5 | Competitive Position

How key competitors are presenting themselves, what they’re saying and where opportunities for differentiation may exist.

6 | Customer Journey

How prospects discover you, what they encounter, what happens when they inquire and where the experience may be breaking down.

We don't just look at your website.

Before we begin, we’ll ask you to complete a short questionnaire and provide representative examples of marketing and sales materials we can’t see publicly.

Because some of the most important things we need to understand won’t show up in a Google search:

Why do your best customers choose you?

What does your sales team have to explain over and over?

Why do prospects sometimes choose someone else?

What do you wish customers understood about your company?

 

Often, some of a company's strongest selling points are already there.

That's what we're looking for.

What you'll get.

WHERE YOU ARE TODAY

A clear picture of your current marketing environment.

WHAT'S WORKING

Strengths worth protecting and building upon.

WHERE MARKETING IS BREAKING DOWN

The issues we believe matter most.

COMPETITIVE OBSERVATIONS

What we’re seeing in your marketplace.

FIX NOW

The highest-priority problems.

FIX NEXT

Important improvements that should follow.

OPPORTUNITIES

Ideas worth pursuing once the foundation is right.

And importantly:

We’ll tell you what WCG can handle, what your team can handle internally and where another resource may make more sense.

Before you spend more on marketing,
make sure you're solving the right problem.
