The Brand & Website Audit: How it works and what you get

Book your Brand & Website Audit here.

Lots of consultants and service providers I work with have poured hours into their DIY websites already, piecing together the tech, trying to make the visuals work and doing their best to communicate their expertise to potential clients.

But here’s something missing.

You might have a sense that something isn’t quite right when people land on your site, that maybe your professionalism and depth of experience aren’t coming across the way they should, but pinpointing exactly what needs to change is a different challenge entirely.

That’s where a brand and website audit becomes genuinely useful, because it gives you specific answers instead of more guesswork.

What I’m going to walk you through in this post is exactly how my audit works, what you’ll have in your hands by the end of it, and how the whole process is designed to give you clarity you can actually use rather than a generic checklist that sits in a folder somewhere.

I’m Amy, and I design brands and websites that help B2B consultants and service providers get taken seriously by corporate clients.

If you want to stop second-guessing what’s working and get direct answers about your brand and website, you can book your audit here whenever you’re ready.

What the Brand & Website Audit actually is and why I call it the Mini Brand Breakthrough

The Brand & Website Audit is exactly what it sounds like, a detailed review of your brand presence and website with specific feedback on what needs to change and why it matters.

I call it the Mini Brand Breakthrough because that is genuinely what happens for the consultants and service providers who go through it. They arrive with a vague sense that something is off, maybe their website feels dated or their visuals don’t match the calibre of work they deliver, and they leave with a clear understanding of exactly what is creating that disconnect.

The audit is not a surface level look at fonts and colours.

I go deep into how your brand and website are positioned, whether your expertise is coming through clearly, and what a potential corporate client would actually think when they land on your site for the first time.

Because that first impression happens fast, and if your professionalism and depth of experience aren’t obvious within seconds, serious clients move on to someone whose online presence matches the level they expect.

Most DIY websites suffer from the same core problem, which is that the person who built it was too close to their own business to see what was missing or unclear.

You know your expertise inside and out, but translating that into a website that communicates the right things to the right people is a completely different skill. The audit gives you that outside perspective from someone who has spent years helping B2B consultants and service providers get taken seriously by corporate clients.

The breakthrough part comes from finally having answers instead of questions. Instead of wondering whether your homepage is working or whether your services page explains things clearly, you will know exactly what is holding you back and have a concrete path to fix it.

The live Zoom call lets you ask questions and get answers in real time

The audit happens live on Zoom, which is a deliberate choice because I want you to be able to ask questions as we go rather than receiving a document full of feedback and then wondering what I actually meant by certain points.

I will have done all my preparation beforehand, diving deep into your brand and website with everything you share with me, so when we get on the call together I already have specific observations and recommendations ready to walk through with you. The live format means I can break things down in a way that makes sense for how you think and communicate, because we all process information differently and I want to make sure nothing gets lost in translation.

Your hour is focused entirely on your brand and website

I am not reading from a generic checklist or applying the same feedback I would give to any business. Everything I bring to the call is tailored to what I have seen in your specific situation, which means the advice is immediately relevant rather than theoretical.

Maybe you are thinking that a pre-recorded video or written report would give you the same information without needing to schedule a call. The difference is that when something comes up during the audit that you want to dig into further, we can do that on the spot. If I point out that your services page is creating confusion for potential clients, you can ask exactly what needs to change and why it matters, and I can show you specific examples right there rather than leaving you to figure it out later.

This back and forth is what turns the audit from information into understanding, because by the end of our call you will know not just what needs to change but why those changes will make a difference for the corporate clients you want to attract.

What you walk away with (Including the call recording, PDF and one week of email support)

By the end of our hour together you will have a clear picture of what needs to change, but I also want to make sure that clarity stays with you after the call ends.

So you receive the full recording of our Zoom session, which means you can revisit any part of the audit whenever you are ready to start implementing. I have found that clients often pick up on different details the second or third time they watch back, because once the initial overwhelm of receiving feedback settles, the specific recommendations start to sink in differently.

You also receive the PDF of the presentation I use during the call, which includes all the screenshots, examples and notes I have prepared specifically for your brand and website. This gives you something concrete to reference rather than trying to remember what I said about a particular page or visual element. When you sit down to make changes, you will have the exact images and explanations right in front of you.

The follow up

The one week of email support is where things often get really practical. Maybe you start updating your services page and want to double check that the new version addresses what I pointed out, or you have a follow-up question about something I mentioned during the call that you want to dig into further. That week of support means you are not left on your own trying to interpret the feedback, because I know from experience that questions tend to surface once you actually start doing the work.

Everything I provide after the audit is designed to make sure the insights actually get used, because a folder full of advice that never gets implemented helps no one.

How the audit fee works as a credit toward future design work together

One thing I want to make sure you understand is how the audit fee works if you ever decide to take the next step and have me handle your brand or website design.

The full fee you pay for the audit gets deducted from any custom or semi-custom design work we do together in the future, which means you are not paying twice for the same insights. If we go through the audit and you realise that you want to hand over the actual design work to someone who already understands exactly what needs to change and why, that investment you made in the audit becomes a credit toward the bigger project.

This matters because the audit gives me a deep understanding of your business, your positioning and what is currently holding your website back from attracting the corporate clients you want. All of that knowledge carries directly into any design work we do together, which means we are not starting from scratch if you decide to move forward.

Implement the advice yourself

Maybe you are thinking that you want to try implementing the audit recommendations yourself first before deciding whether to invest in professional design work. That approach makes complete sense, and many of my clients do exactly that. The credit does not expire, so whether you come back in a few months or a year from now, the audit fee still applies toward your project.

How to Book Your Audit and What Information I Need From You to Start

Booking your audit is straightforward and happens through the Calendly link here where you can choose a time that works for you.

When you book, there is a short form asking for information about your business, your website, your brand and your social media presence. This is the information I use to do my deep dive before our call, so the more context you give me upfront the more specific and useful my feedback will be during our session together.

Seeing what your ideal clients see

I need to see what a potential corporate client would see when they come across you online, which means I look at your website pages, your visual brand elements, how you describe your services and how everything connects across your online presence. If you have specific pages or areas you already know feel off, you can mention those too and I will make sure to address them directly.

Once you have submitted your information and booked your time slot, I get to work reviewing everything before our call. You do not need to prepare anything else or send additional materials unless you want to, because the form captures what I need to give you genuinely useful feedback rather than generic observations that could apply to anyone.

The consultants and service providers who get the most from this audit are the ones who have that nagging feeling that their website is not doing them justice, and who are ready to finally understand what needs to change instead of continuing to guess.

If that sounds like where you are right now, booking your audit is the step that moves you from uncertainty to clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

All your questions about the audit answered.

Do I need to prepare anything before the audit call?

You don’t need to do any extra preparation beyond filling out the booking form with your business and website details. I use that information to do all my research beforehand, so by the time we get on the call together I’ve already done the deep dive into your brand and website and have specific feedback ready to share with you.

What if I want to implement some changes myself before deciding whether to work with you on the design?

That approach makes complete sense and many of my clients do exactly that. The audit is designed to give you everything you need to start making improvements on your own, and the fee still applies as a credit toward any future design work whenever you decide that’s the right step for your business.

What if my website needs more work than I can realistically handle on my own?

That realisation often comes up during or after the audit, and it’s completely valid. The audit gives you clarity on what needs to change, and from there you can decide whether you want to tackle it yourself or have me handle the design work for you. Either way you’ll know exactly what the path forward looks like rather than staying stuck in that uncertain space.
