Find out if your social media is actually working.

A professional social media channel audit with clear, actionable recommendations

Are your social media channels set up correctly? Is your content approach working? Do you know how your performance compares to competitors? Our social media audit service gives you an objective, expert assessment of your current social media presence – and a clear plan to improve it.

Our expert social media auditors analyse your profiles, content, engagement, analytics and competitive landscape across all relevant platforms – providing a detailed report with prioritised recommendations that you can implement yourself or have us implement for you.

 

What’s included in our social media audit

Profile optimisation review We assess how your social media profiles are set up – page type, about sections, imagery, cover photos, action buttons, contact details and overall professional presentation.

Content review We evaluate your recent posts, stories and reels – looking at content quality, consistency, relevance, format mix and how well your content is resonating with your audience based on engagement data.

Analytics and benchmarking We analyse your social media metrics to provide data-driven insights and recommendations – looking at engagement rates, reach, follower growth and performance over time. We take benchmarks of your current situation as a basis to measure future growth against.

Competitive analysis We review your competitors’ social media presence to identify what’s working in your industry and where the opportunities are for you to differentiate.

Website review from a social media perspective We assess how well your website supports your social media activity – including tracking, social proof, links and conversion pathways from social channels.

What happens after the audit?

If you find the audit insightful and want ongoing support, you may like to continue working with us – through a regular marketing consult, one-off projects (social media template setup, channel creation) or full social media management. We’ll outline the options and provide pricing as part of the debrief.

Note: is this what you need, or a social media ads audit?

The social media channel audit reviews your organic social media presence – your profiles, content strategy, community management and channel performance. If you’re running paid social advertising (Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, LinkedIn Ads etc.) and want those reviewed, see our separate Social Media Ads Audit. Many clients find value in both.
