What the audit covers
Four pillars decide whether marketing drives revenue. The checklist tests all four.
Pillar 1 — Strategy
Is your marketing pointed at revenue, or just running? Four checks on direction and measurability.
Pillar 2 — People & Process
Is the right team working the right way? Four checks on workflow, accountability, and the sales–marketing handoff.
Pillar 3 — Product & Messaging
Is your message doing its job, or talking about you? Four checks on positioning, ICP, and conversion.
Pillar 4 — Platform & Channels
Are you visible where your buyers actually look? Four checks on spend, pipeline, and tracking.

Tally your ticks and the checklist tells you plainly: fix the foundation first, or scale what’s working.
