The digital landscape is constantly evolving. From best practices to tools, nearly every aspect of the digital realm has shifted in recent months and years. For many businesses, this has created a disconnect between what they should do and what they are doing as they struggle to keep up with the pace of change.

Nonetheless, businesses must stay up to date to serve Clients effectively. By undertaking a Digital Marketing Gap Audit, businesses can have an objective assessment of their digital maturity to make informed decisions on where to focus their efforts in an ever-changing world.

Each Digital Marketing Gap Audit will vary depending on the business and areas of focus, but below is a general breakdown of what we will accomplish as part of your digital maturity assessment.

1. Preliminary Assessment and Goal-Setting

As our first step of a Digital Marketing Gap Audit, we want to gain a deeper understanding of your needs so we can align our activities to them. We’ll have you fill out a preliminary form to share more about your business and goals with our team. Based on those results, we’ll assess whether we believe a Digital Marketing Gap Audit is a good fit for you.

2. Analysis of Current Digital Marketing Activities

Once we have an understanding of your organization and goals, our team will begin analyzing your existing activities. Depending on your needs, we will assess up to three of the following areas of digital marketing: website, search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, content, social media, design, or competitors. Subject matter experts (SMEs) in each area will be responsible for conducting an assessment of the maturity and efficacy of each area of focus.

3. Gap Identification and Prioritization

Based on the findings from the in-depth analysis, our SMEs will identify gaps in your existing strategy, prioritizing them based on your organization’s digital maturity. With all our recommendations, we seek to make suggestions that align with not only your business priorities, but also your capabilities and resources as an organization. 

As part of this digital maturity assessment tool, Br8kthru will provide our recommendations to you and your team, at which point we can discuss next steps. Once you have your recommendations, what to do with them is entirely up to you. However, potential next steps — which Br8kthru is happy to support our Clients with — include creating a roadmap for improvement and to implement the roadmap and recommendations, being sure to track progress over time.
