### The plan to act on

Give your team a practical sequence for the next 90 days.

Illustrative sample engagement, not a forecast for your business. The sample totals 23 findings from one audit; it is not the typical case result.

ONE SET OF FINDINGS

### Three leaders. A shared financial case.

- CEO

#### Know what to stop, fix and fund next.

- Choose your next move with a prioritized view of waste, margin loss and the work that deserves investment.

- CFO

#### Challenge the number. Follow the evidence.

- Review the quantified impact, assumptions and supporting data. Keep identified opportunity separate from money actually recovered.

- CMO

#### Make the case for the work that matters.

- Give your team and agency clear priorities to investigate, defend worthwhile investment and align with finance.

**See your own numbers next.** Fixed fees from $1,450. No payment taken when you submit a request.

03 / THE PROBLEM

## Before you increase the budget, check what growth is costing you.

More revenue can still leave less margin. Cheap leads can turn into expensive sales. A strong campaign report can leave out the costs that change the decision.

Whether you are increasing spend, cutting costs or reallocating budget, give finance and marketing a shared set of findings to work from.

Budgets are not growing to cover it. [Gartner’s 2026 CMO Spend Survey](https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2026-05-11-gartner-2026-cmo-spend-survey-finds-cmos-allocate-15-point-3-percent-of-marketing-budgets-to-ai-but-only-30-percent-are-ready-to-scale-ai-capabilities) (May 11, 2026) puts marketing budgets at 7.8% of company revenue, and 56% of CMOs say they lack the budget to deliver their 2026 strategy. “CMOs are being asked to deliver growth, efficiency and transformation without meaningful budget expansion,” said Ewan McIntyre, VP Analyst and Chief of Research in the Gartner Marketing practice.

**A strategic decision:** Get an outside view before committing budget.

**An existing agency:** Give your partners clear findings to investigate and act on.

**A busy internal team:** Focus attention on the changes that deserve it most.

**Conflicting reports:** Review marketing performance alongside revenue and costs.

01 / ACQUISITION

### Are you buying customers or expensive activity?

Paid search, paid social, retargeting, marketplaces, affiliates and events, checked against what each sale actually earned.

02 / ECONOMICS

### What is left after the sale?

Pricing, discounting, retention, lifetime value, fees and contracts.

THE METHOD BEHIND THE ANSWERS

### From your data to a decision you can defend.

[How it works](/how-it-works/)

See what supports each finding, what it could be worth and what your team should do next.

#### Check the evidence.

1. AI helps surface potential issues. A senior auditor reviews the source data and challenges each finding before it reaches your report.

2. A finding grounded in your data.

#### Quantify the impact.

3. See the estimated financial impact, supporting assumptions and rationale. Identified opportunity is kept separate from money actually recovered.

4. A financial case you can scrutinize.

#### Rank the next moves.

5. Prioritize findings by contribution margin impact and implementation effort, so your team can decide what to stop, fix and fund first.

6. Clear priorities for your team and partners.

AI supports the analysis. A senior auditor reviews and approves every finding.

On your audit: 1.5 h writing your brief

DAYS 2 & 3
Diagnostic analysis

24 agents sweep channels, funnel, retention & unit economics against your brief. Interim findings call on day 3.

Typical allocation. Your auditor flexes these hours to where your audit needs them; the 14 hours are the commitment.

The brief isn’t homework. We don’t send your team a questionnaire. Your auditor sits with the people who feel the problem and writes the brief from what they hear. The machine starts from what your team actually said.

08 / BEFORE YOU DECIDE

## A few questions. Clear answers.

#### How much does a marketing audit cost?

A small business marketing audit costs $500 to $10,000 from an outside provider, depending on the channels in scope and who does the work. MarginFix charges a fixed $1,450, $2,950 or $5,950, agreed before kickoff, with $10,000 to $50,000 of findings, or your money back. [The market ranges, with sources.](/marketing-audit-cost/)

#### What will this help us decide?

Where the evidence points to wasted spend or lost margin, which fixes deserve attention first, and what your team should investigate before changing the budget. Your selected tier defines the scope. A senior auditor reviews and approves every finding.

#### How long does it take?

Your report is delivered in 5 to 7 working days after kickoff and receipt of all agreed access and inputs. We confirm your delivery date in writing.

#### Which audit fits our business?

Diagnostic Check is $1,450, Strategic Audit is $2,950, and Audit + Sprint is $5,950. Published spend bands start at $15,000 a month. If you spend $10,000 to $15,000 a month, start with a [fit call.](/book/call/) [Compare the scope and deliverables](/pricing/#tiers) before choosing.

#### What if the findings fall below the guarantee?

If your report identifies less than your tier's written minimum, request a full fee refund within 14 days of your readout, or of report delivery if your tier has no readout. You keep the report. The guarantee covers identification, not implementation results. [Access conditions and full terms apply.](/terms/#guarantee)

#### What will our team need to do?

We agree the required inputs and access, then hold a 30 minute kickoff. Additional conversations and your team's time depend on the selected scope. The audit gives your team findings and priorities. Audit + Sprint adds implementation planning, not completed implementation. [Compare the tiers.](/pricing/#tiers)

#### We already have an agency. Is this awkward?

It is common, and healthy. The audit is an independent second opinion, not a pitch to replace anyone. Many agencies use the findings as their next quarter's roadmap. We never sell media management, so there is no conflict of interest.

#### Is there a call before we pay?

Yes. A 15 minute fit call with one auditor, no pitch. Bring the numbers you have and leave with the next step, whether that is a tier or a reason we are not the right fit. [Book the fit call →](/book/call/)
