Marketing as a Service — a quick read on the funnel and the tools: where results have dipped and where to start
What problem does an Express Funnel Audit solve?
EXPRESS FUNNEL AUDIT ANSWERS A KEY QUESTION:
DO YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR FUNNEL FROM THE FIRST LEAD TO THE DEAL, AND WHICH TOOLS ARE CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN?
When This Question Arises
1
There are fewer inquiries or sales, and it is unclear at which stage and in which channel.
2
Advertising metrics are fine, but revenue is not growing.
3
Acquisition cost has risen, and there is no justification for those costs.
4
You need to establish quickly where to start making improvements, without a deep audit.
5
You need quick actions that can be implemented straight away.
When Do You Need an Audit?
An express audit works best when the data is already there and what is needed is a fast diagnostic with priorities.
You have a CRM and data on at least the main channels
Over recent months there have been noticeable changes in inquiries, sales or acquisition cost
You need a fast diagnostic and quick actions
You are ready to act on the result
Who Is This Service Not For?
Very small teams without distinct roles. There is no meaningful departmental structure to assess.
Companies that need an audit of a single marketing channel. For example, an assessment of PPC alone requires a focused channel audit rather than a full department audit.
Companies that are unwilling to implement changes. An audit without follow-through will not improve departmental performance.
Companies seeking formal validation of a decision already made. The purpose of an audit is to provide an objective diagnosis, not to justify a predetermined conclusion.
What You Get
A clear picture of the current departmental structure — including who is actually responsible for what.
A responsibility comparison map — showing where the company’s expectations of each role align with the employee’s understanding of their responsibilities and where they diverge. These gaps often help explain missed targets: employees may not recognize certain outcomes as part of their remit.
A map of how current marketing activities align with business plans — identifying which activities contribute to the company’s goals and where adjustments are needed.
A target departmental structure designed to support the company’s primary business goal.

Service Limitations
The audit provides a diagnosis, not implementation. Addressing the identified gaps is a separate scope of work based on the audit’s findings.
The audit does not guarantee a specific percentage increase in business metrics. It provides a data-driven action plan, not a promise of particular results.
The quality of the findings depends on the quality of the input data. Incomplete or inaccurate business plans, limited access to information, or unreliable interview responses can affect the accuracy of the alignment maps and the proposed departmental structure.
Аудит не включає розподіл бюджету між етапами та детальний план впровадження — для цього є повний Full-Funnel Audit
The audit reflects the situation at a specific point in time., It is not an ongoing monitoring service. As the business evolves, the departmental structure and KPIs may need to be reassessed.
