Liquid Insight · Digital Marketing Audit · $800 total, $400 to start

Your digital marketing is telling you something. Find out what.

You post. You send. You pay for ads. And you still can’t say what any of it is doing. Liquid Insight is a one-time, flat-rate audit of up to 13 digital channels, from your website and search results to social, email, ads, loyalty, and your app. You get clarity on what’s working, what isn’t, and what to fix first, in writing, with a 1-on-1 walkthrough from me. And if you want to keep watching the numbers after, there’s a dashboard for that.

Sound familiar?

You’re posting. You’re paying. You’re guessing.

You post most days and can’t say what any of it did for sales. Followers went up. Did anything else? You don’t know, and that’s the problem.
Somebody searched for you last night and you have no idea what they found. Old hours on the Google listing. A website that hasn’t been touched since the redesign. A competitor, maybe.
There’s an email list you’re a little afraid of. It’s the highest-return channel most brands own, and you’re either not sending, or sending and wondering if anyone cares.
Somebody’s running ads. No one knows if they’re converting to customers.
You’re the marketing department. Also the sales department. Also the person who fixes the glycol at 6am.

Am I posting the right things? Can people even find us? Are the emails saying anything? If you’ve asked yourself any of those at 11pm, you don’t need more tactics. You need someone to look at all of it, tell you the truth, and hand you the list.

What you actually get

Clarity. The kind of insight you need every Monday.

Right now your marketing is a pile of maybes. Maybe the posts are landing. Maybe people can find you. Maybe the emails are worth sending. The audit turns every maybe into one of three answers.

It’s working.

Keep doing it, and here’s why it works, so you can do more of it on purpose instead of by accident.

It isn’t.

Stop spending the time and money. Here’s the number that proves it, so nobody on your team has to take it personally.

It’s missing.

The channel or the fix you haven’t touched yet, and where it sits in the order of operations.

No more guessing whether you’re posting the right things, whether people can find you, or whether your messages are landing. You’ll know. In writing. With a list.
What’s included

Up to thirteen channels. One audit. One price.

Every channel gets the same treatment: what’s there, what the numbers say, whether it’s working, and what to do about it. Nothing gets skipped because it’s small, and nothing gets padded because it’s big.

Website

Website review

Speed, mobile, and whether a visitor can find your hours, your location, what’s pouring, and how to book the patio without hunting for it.

Content

Content review

Does it say anything, and does it say it to the customer you actually want.

Social

Social media review

Reach versus followers, engagement, posting rhythm, and which platforms are earning their keep.

Email

Email marketing review

List health, cadence, opens, clicks, and what your sends are doing for the register.

Paid

Paid advertising review

Spend, return, targeting, creative, and whether to keep going at all.

Search

SEO report

Where you rank for the searches that fill a taproom or move a case, plus whether AI answers mention you at all.

Data

Analytics review

Is the tracking set up right, and what is it telling you that nobody has looked at.

Competitors

Competitor analysis

Who shows up next to you online, and where they’re beating you.

Compliance

Compliance and accessibility review

Age gates, responsible-messaging language, platform rules for regulated products, and whether someone on a screen reader or a phone in bright sun can actually use your site. The stuff that gets accounts flagged and customers lost.

Tools

Technology and tools review

What you’re paying for, what you’re not using, and where one tool could replace three.

Loyalty

Loyalty program review

Is it a program, or a punch card nobody scans? Sign-up rate, redemption, whether it actually changes behavior, and whether the rewards are allowed for what you sell in your state.

App

Branded mobile app review

Downloads versus people who actually open it, what it does that your website can’t, push notifications, and whether it’s worth what you pay to keep it alive.

The fix list

Suggested courses of action

Prioritized. What’s working (keep going), what isn’t (stop), what’s missing (start), and the order to do it in. This is the page you’ll actually print.

How it works

Four steps. Four to six weeks. I do the heavy lifting.

1

Start with half down

Pay the $400 deposit right here to kick things off. Within 1 business day you get a short intake form and the list of what I need from you. The other $400 is due when the audit is finished, before we book your results call.

2

Connect me to your channels

This is the longest part, and it’s the only part that’s on you. Don’t panic: I send step-by-step instructions for every platform, access is read-only, and no passwords change hands.

3

I dig

Every channel, every number, every competitor showing up in your searches. Your job during this part is nothing. The whole audit runs 4 to 6 weeks from sign-up to finish.

4

We walk through it together

You get the written audit plus a 1-on-1 call to go through the findings and the order of operations. Then you go fix things.

New · Keep the numbers coming

The audit is a snapshot. The dashboard is the movie.

The audit tells you where everything stands today. Add the Liquid Insight dashboard and your marketing metrics keep updating monthly on your own live dashboard, so you can watch what your fixes actually do instead of wondering whether the needle moved.

Updated monthly

Your website, search, social, email, and ad numbers, refreshed every month in one place.

Yours to check anytime

Log in before a marketing meeting, after a campaign, or any 11pm you please. The numbers are always where you left them.

No commitment theater

$349/month, cancel anytime. When you stop, it stops. No contracts, no exit interviews.

$349/month, available with any audit. You don’t have to decide now. Every audit client gets the option when their audit wraps, and the dashboard picks up right where the audit left off.

Where this fits

Three ways in. Pick your depth.

Proof

Priced by size

Your whole business in one live dashboard: sales, taproom, distribution, financials, and marketing, with a written read from me on what to do next.

See Proof
Liquid Insight looks at your marketing. Proof looks at your whole business.

If marketing is the leak, start here. If you’re guessing across the whole business, start there. Not sure which? Book a call and I’ll tell you straight, even if the answer is “neither, go listen to the podcast.”

Fit check

Who this is for, and who should save their money.

Liquid Insight is for you if

  • You have customers, a website, at least one social account, and a Google listing.
  • You’ve been doing “some marketing” for a year or more and can’t say what it’s done.
  • You’re about to spend real money on ads, a redesign, or an agency and want a second set of eyes first.
  • You’re hiring a marketing coordinator and want them to start with a map instead of a blank page.
  • You run a brewery, cidery, winery, distillery, NA or THC brand, restaurant, hospitality group, special event, festival, service business, vendor company, or industry guild. If you market to drinkers, or to the people who serve them, you’re in.

Save your money if

  • Nothing is live yet. Take the free Brand Archetype Quiz first, build the basics, then come back.
  • You want somebody to run your marketing for you. This is a diagnosis. Once you have the fix list, a Consulting Punch Card or my consulting services cover the hands-on part.
  • You want the whole business read, sales and financials included. That’s Proof.
Fair questions

Ask me anything. Here’s a head start.

Is this the same thing as Proof?
No. Proof is your whole business (sales, taproom, distribution, financials, marketing) pulled into a live dashboard with a written read, one-time or monthly. Liquid Insight is your digital marketing, once, top to bottom, with a fix list. If the marketing side is where the leak is, start here. If you’re guessing across the whole business, start with Proof.
What’s the $349/month dashboard?
An optional add-on for audit clients. After your audit, your marketing metrics keep updating monthly on your own live dashboard, so you can watch the fix list work instead of wondering. $349/month, cancel anytime, and when you stop, it stops. It tracks marketing only; if you want your whole business on a dashboard with my written read on top, that’s Proof.
How does billing work?
Half down, half on delivery. You pay $400 at checkout to start the audit. When the audit is finished, you get an invoice for the remaining $400, and once that clears we book your 1-on-1 results call. If you add the dashboard, that bills separately at $349/month starting after your audit wraps, and you can cancel it anytime.
Will you fix the things you find?
Not as part of the audit. You get the findings, a prioritized list, and a call where we go through the order of operations. You or your team run it from there. If you want a hand running it, a Consulting Punch Card is 4 hours for $500 and never expires, and my consulting services go deeper than that.
Do I have to hand over passwords?
No. You get one private link and authorize each channel yourself with read-only access. I can see the numbers. I can’t post, spend, delete, or change a thing. Revoke it whenever you like once we’re done.
What do you need from me?
About ten minutes on an intake form, a few clicks to grant access, and a short list of who you think your competitors are. That’s the whole homework. I do the rest.
We only have Instagram and a website. Still worth it?
Yes. Fewer channels means the audit goes deeper on what you have, and the fix list usually includes the one or two channels you should add before anything else. Same price either way.
How long does it take?
About 4 to 6 weeks from sign-up to finished audit. The longest stretch is getting me connected to all of your channels, which is the one part on your side. You get step-by-step instructions for each platform, so the faster that happens, the faster the audit lands.
Is this beer-only?
Nope. Beer, cider, wine, spirits, RTDs, NA, and THC brands, plus restaurants, hospitality groups, special events, festivals, service providers, vendors, and industry guilds. If you market to drinkers, or to the people who serve them, the channels are the same and so are the mistakes.
