STRATEGIC GROWTH AUDITS

See Exactly What Your Growth Engine Is Missing

A forensic analysis of your acquisition, conversion, and retention systems. We'll show you where revenue is leaking, where leverage exists, and what needs to be built. Nothing theoretical. Just data-backed clarity.

Most Service Businesses Don't Know Why They're Stuck

You're generating revenue. But you don't know if your acquisition system is optimized. You can't see where customers are dropping out of your funnel. You have no framework for retention. And you're not sure what you don't know.
​
​That's where growth stalls—not because you lack talent or market opportunity, but because you're operating without visibility into your growth infrastructure.

Most service businesses know their revenue. They don't know why it's what it is. An audit changes that. You'll leave with complete visibility into your growth engine—what's working, what's leaking money, and what you need to build next.

A Complete Systems Diagnostic

We analyze every channel, every touchpoint, every mechanism that drives revenue. You get clarity on what's working, what's broken, and where to invest next.

Acquisition Systems Analysis

We forensically examine every channel driving leads to your business—SEO, paid ads, referrals, partnerships, content. We identify what's performing, what's dead weight, and where untapped leverage exists.

  • Which channels drive qualified leads vs. tire kickers

  • Your true cost-per-acquisition (CAC) by source

  • Which channels have hidden potential

  • Why some channels underperform

Conversion Funnel Audit

Most service businesses lose 40-60% of qualified prospects in their funnel without knowing why. We map your entire sales journey, identify leak points, and show you exactly where revenue is escaping.

  • Where prospects drop out of your funnel

  • Your conversion rate by stage (if data exists)

  • Friction points in your sales process

  • Quick wins that could immediately improve close rates

Retention & Lifetime Value Assessment

Most service businesses obsess over acquisition while their existing customers churn. We analyze your customer lifecycle, identify expansion opportunities, and show you where retention systems are missing.

  • Your true customer lifetime value

  • Churn triggers and retention gaps

  • Expansion and upsell opportunities

  • Referral mechanics (if structured)

What Comes Next Is Entirely Your Call

Done-For-You Build

If you want us to engineer and implement the systems, we offer done-for-you implementation. We build the infrastructure while you focus on running the business. No retainers—just engineered systems you own.

Implement Yourself

You have a complete roadmap and understand your growth engine. Many of our audit clients implement recommendations internally using your team. You own the strategy and the execution.

Most audit clients decide after reviewing recommendations. Whether you proceed with us or implement independently, you'll have absolute clarity on what needs to be built and why.

The Audit Is a No-Risk Investment in Clarity

You're not paying for recommendations that might work. You're paying for forensic analysis of your actual systems, backed by data you own. Either you implement recommendations yourself or you engage us to build the infrastructure. Either way, you've paid for absolute clarity on what needs to happen next.

This isn't a sales pitch disguised as a consultation. It's actual diagnostic work that gives you leverage whether you work with us or not
