Exhaustive Diagnostic Scope

The 7 Core Diagnostic Layers

Every layer is analyzed through empirical diagnostics, logs, and account-level permissions—not shallow automated audits.

01

Lead Attribution & Tracking Integrity

We audit Google Tag Manager containers, GA4 custom conversion events, and server-side tracking. We verify offline conversion imports, dynamic phone tracking numbers, and end-to-end CRM lead source tagging.

02

Ad Spend Efficiency & Campaign Waste

Deep forensic dive into Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and Google Local Services Ads (LSA). We uncover burning negative keyword leaks, budget cannibalization, wrong bidding strategies, and ghost impressions.

03

Marketing Tech Stack & CRM Architecture

Auditing your HighLevel, HubSpot, or Salesforce setups along with practice software webhooks. We inspect pipeline automation delays, broken trigger conditions, and silent drop-offs in customer reactivation campaigns.

04

Hosting, Speed & Core Web Vitals

Rigorous inspection of your Kinsta, Cloudflare, or server-level setup. We dissect Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), bloated WordPress plugins, unoptimized database queries, and mobile latency sabotaging your conversion rate.

05

Agency & Vendor Contract Accountability

We audit monthly agency statements of work, invoices, and actual task deliverables. We verify whether their vanity reports match cold revenue metrics or if you are paying for generic boilerplate maintenance.

06

SEO, Schema & AI-Search Visibility

Evaluation of JSON-LD Schema markup, local citation health, and architecture preparedness for generative search engines (SearchGPT, Perplexity, Google SGE). We ensure modern LLMs cite you as the authoritative entity.

07

Funnel Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

We review landing page copy-to-ad message match, form field friction, appointment booking calendar drop-offs, and mobile responsive execution. You learn precisely where high-intent prospects abandon your intake funnels.

Executive Scope Rule
The audit diagnoses. It doesn’t fix.

Every recommendation in your 90-day roadmap identifies the exact problem, the measurable priority, and explicitly names WHO should execute it — your internal team, your existing agency, or specialized contractors. No hidden upsells or hostages.
