Advance Your Online Presence With A Digital Marketing Discovery

Marketing trends are always on the move: Google introduces an algorithm update that impacts search rankings. Audiences seek out their favorite brands on new social media channels. Web users anticipate a simplified user experience—and the list goes on. Consequently, marketers must be ready to pivot at a moment’s notice, which we know is easier said than done. Investing time and team effort into the ever-evolving digital landscape doesn’t always lead to the results you’re looking for. That’s why Blue Compass offers our comprehensive Digital Marketing Discovery process to do a deep dive on best practices and provide actionable steps to be more competitive in your industry.

SEO Audit

With the SEO audit serving as our starting point in the Discovery process, we take the time to uncover any cracks in the foundation of your site before we move on to other areas. This includes an exhaustive error check, where we use our digital tools to crawl the site and compile a complete list of errors found, including technical errors, on-page errors and image errors. We also review site content for potential optimizations like linking opportunities, navigation structure, content length and structured data.

Visitor Behavior Audit

With the end goal of ensuring your site is set up to maximize conversion opportunities, the visitor behavior audit outlines user actions to help prioritize what’s most valuable to them. Our team evaluates traffic sources and channels to discover how users are finding your site and what’s bringing them in. We also detail user behavior like which pages they visit on your site, how long they remain engaged with your site content, the types of events they’re interacting with and which conversions receive the most action.

Competitor Audit

To get started with the competitor audit, Blue Compass asks that you provide two competitors you’d like us to take a closer look at. Our team will select a third competitor to analyze based on who else is appearing prominently in search results. We explore what social platforms your competitors are active on, whether they’re ranking for any rich results in search and how their keywords overlap with keywords your brand is ranking for. The end goal is to beat competitors at their own game with a clear action plan to take over positions in search results through relevant keywords and content optimized for rich results.

Social Media Audit

To help you find more opportunities to amplify your brand, Blue Compass asks you to select up to three social media channels you want to prioritize for our review. We then dive in, scrolling our way through your posts, analyzing performance and checking what settings you have in place. Our team also dives further into your competitors’ social channels to discover areas of opportunity based on what they are or aren’t doing successfully. Our social media audit provides tips to gain more visibility, target more valuable audiences and create strategic campaign ideas for clickable content.

SEM Audit

Through our search engine marketing (SEM) best practices, Blue Compass identifies efficiencies you can implement by updating your Google Ads account to the optimal settings we know will be effective. A Google Ads SEM audit sets you up for paid search success so long as your account is continually monitored for more improvements on a regular basis. If your company is interested in getting started with paid search, we can customize our audit with recommendations to set up your account and utilize key features based on best practices for your industry.

Discuss Digital Best Practices & Takeaways With Our Experts

Our Digital Marketing Discoveries aren’t built for one-and-done solutions you can implement today for immediate results tomorrow. The aim of progressing through each audit—beginning with our SEO audit—is to build a priority list of action items while taking stock of growth areas that will generate long-term success for your business. Using our custom automated grading scale for SEO health, we show you where your site currently lies on a scale from A to F based on the amount of errors per page. Before we’re through, we talk over how to resolve each error type, where to find them and how patching up these holes in your site helps Google to recognize and rank your content.

By helping you to remove the roadblocks we identify early on, we’re able to point your team’s marketing strategy in the right direction, solve problems together and facilitate a future of continued growth for your site.

Social Media Audit

Increase Understanding Of Which Solutions Gear You Up For Growth

Having a social media presence only pays off if engaging content captures the right audience.

SEM Audit

Maximize Marketing Efforts With Data-Driven Solutions

Throughout each stage of our Digital Marketing Discovery process, we present what the data reveals about your current marketing efforts. We know how much time, work and money goes into taking up a large presence on the web. Uncovering your main areas of opportunity allows us to help you focus your efforts so you can strategically use marketing dollars and invest your time where it will make the biggest impact.

The stakes are especially high for a Google Ads search engine marketing (SEM) audit because the settings you currently rely on in your account dictate whether you get a return on your ad spend investment. Because Google Ads are ever-changing, it’s easy to fall behind on SEM optimizations and end up overspending without the results to show for it. To ensure your dollars do the most, an audit can uncover settings, campaigns, keywords and ad copy improvements to increase conversions while lowering cost-per-click. Ad reach is important, but generating leads through those clicks by targeting the right user is the ultimate goal.
