Prospects ask for discounts
When value isn’t visible, price is the only thing left to discuss.
For founders who sense something is off but can’t name it
You can’t fix what you haven’t diagnosed.
Most brands don’t fail loudly. They leak: enquiries that go quiet, prices that get negotiated, prospects who choose a competitor who looks more established.
Our brand audit services find the leak. Start with a free self-assessment, or commission an expert audit of your positioning, message, identity, website and competitors.
Short answer: a brand audit compares how your brand is perceived with how it should be. Free five-minute version: the Brand Positioning MRI™. Expert version: one week, from $1,200.
Signals
When value isn’t visible, price is the only thing left to discuss.
No agreed message means every conversation starts from zero.
Traffic without conversion is a trust problem, not a traffic problem.
They are not better. They look more certain.
The work evolved; the identity stayed where it started.
Word of mouth carries trust your brand should carry on its own.
The cheapest time to audit is before the change, not after.
Two ways in
| Free: Brand Positioning MRI™ | Paid: The Catalyst™ audit | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | About 5 minutes | 1 week |
| Who does it | You, answering 16 statements | Martina, with market and competitor research |
| What you get | Overall score, four pillar scores, your weakest pillar | Positioning statement, ideal client profile, messaging framework |
| Competitors | Not included | Five competitors reviewed, visual and verbal |
| Search demand | Not included | 20 terms your buyers use, with volume and difficulty |
| Investment | Free | From $1,200 |
Most people should start free. If the MRI shows one weak pillar, you may only need a focused fix. If it shows three, the audit will save you money.
Free diagnostics
Four free tools, each built to answer one question about your brand.
Scores clarity, differentiation, trust and conversion readiness, then shows what to fix first.
Checks the credibility signals visitors judge your homepage on in the first seconds.
Shows the gap between what you charge and what your positioning could support.
Scores six dimensions of readiness for premium clients across borders.
The method
Who you are for, the problem you own, and whether a buyer can tell you apart.
What you say across site, proposals and social, and whether it says the same thing.
Logo, colour, type and imagery, judged against the price you charge.
The path from first visit to enquiry, and where trust drops.
Five competitors, visual and verbal, mapped against your position.
The words your buyers actually search, with volume and difficulty.
Straight answers
A brand audit is a structured review of how your brand is perceived against how you want it to be perceived: positioning, messaging, visual identity, website and competitors. It ends with a prioritised list of what to fix.
You can start free with the Brand Positioning MRI™. A full paid audit is part of The Catalyst™: one week, from $1,200, including a five-competitor scan, positioning, messaging framework and a search-demand snapshot.
The free MRI takes about five minutes. The Catalyst™ audit takes one week, including a 90-minute working session.
The terms are used interchangeably. We use “assessment” for the free self-scored diagnostic and “audit” for the expert review, where we research your market and competitors ourselves.
You keep every finding whether or not you continue. If the audit shows you need new positioning or identity, the next step is The Alchemy Foundation™.
It is a diagnostic, not a strategy. The free MRI scores four pillars and names your weakest one, which is often enough to know where to start.
One step
The free Brand Positioning MRI™ takes five minutes and shows your weakest pillar. No cost, no obligation.
