You've paid an agency before. The reports said everything was improving. Enquiries said otherwise, and you had no way to check which one was lying.
Here's a different first step: a fixed-scope diagnosis with one banded money number across everything that's wrong, banded like an accountant would band it, and a do-this-first list. It speaks P&L, not strategy.
The work is good. The referrals prove it. But a stranger landing on your site can't tell you apart from the competitor who ranks above you, and you can't explain why they rank above you.
You've spent on SEO or a rebrand and saw nothing change. The reports said everything was improving. Enquiries said otherwise. You want someone who speaks in specifics.
No benchmark, no baseline. Decisions get made on gut feel because gut feel is the only instrument you've been given.
Something changed in the last year. You don't know if it's the market, the site, or a competitor. Each explanation points to a different fix, and guessing wrong is expensive.
The Marketing Intelligence Brief scores your digital presence, puts one banded annual figure across everything it finds, and orders the fixes quick-wins first. Where a number can't be verified, it says so. No fake precision.
If you already have someone who handles the website, good. The Brief arms them with a prioritised list; it doesn't audition to replace them.
You'll know what it costs before we start, and what you get. Fixed scope, fixed price.

Banded estimate across all findings. Deliberately rounded: the value is the relative size of each gap.
Fifteen minutes. You describe what changed, I tell you what I'd look at first and what it would cost to find out properly. No pitch.
