This is a sample of exactly what you receive on Day 5. Real structure. Real level of detail. Fictional company, fictional numbers. Yours will be built from your actual data.

Executive Summary

Meridian Analytics runs 7 tools across its GTM stack with 4 critical manual handoffs that cost an estimated 28 hours per week. 40% of paid media leads are unattributed, making every scaling decision a guess.

The top 5 automation wins identified in this audit represent an estimated $312K in recovered pipeline visibility, $50K+ in annual cost savings, and a path from $2,847 CAC to under $2,100 within 90 days. The highest-leverage move is fixing Meta-to-CRM attribution, which can be shipped in 2 weeks.

What I Did Not Find

Honesty builds trust.

CRM pipeline stages are clean and consistently used by the sales team. No change needed.

Google Ads account structure (campaigns, ad groups) is well-organized. The problem is conversion actions, not structure.

Website conversion rate (3.8%) is above industry average. Landing pages are not the bottleneck.

Sales team follow-up cadence is solid once they have the lead. The gap is getting them the lead fast enough.

Every audit includes this section. If something is working, I say so. No invented problems to justify a retainer.

Recommendation

The highest-impact path is a monthly retainer starting with Wins 1 and 2 in the first two weeks. At $4,500/month (with the $3,500 audit fee credited to Month 1), the expected ROI based on Win 1 alone (recovering $312K in invisible pipeline) pays for the first year of the retainer in the first month.

If you prefer to execute internally, the roadmap above gives your team a sequenced plan. Either path works. Win 2 (Google Ads cleanup) is a 3-day project your existing marketing manager can handle without me.

This is a sample. Yours will be built from your actual data.
