Marketing Operations Audit
I diagnose the tools, workflows, and data behind your marketing, then implement an agreed set of practical fixes. You get both a clear picture of what is broken and focused help putting the priority changes in place.
What is a Marketing Ops Audit?
A Marketing Operations Audit examines your marketing technology stack, workflows, data flows, and documentation. It identifies inefficiencies, redundant tools, and process gaps that slow down your team. I can then implement agreed priority changes, including intake and triage workflows, documented operating procedures, and the supporting project-management conventions.
Best for
- Teams with too many marketing tools and unclear workflows
- Organizations with manual processes that could be automated
- Companies preparing to scale marketing operations
Who this is for
- Small businesses with multiple marketing tools that do not talk to each other
- Solo operators spending too much time on manual data entry
- Growing teams who suspect they are paying for tools they do not use
Typical symptoms
What I review
- Current Marketing Technology (MarTech) stack and tool inventory
- Data flow between systems (Customer Relationship Management, email, analytics, ads)
- Workflow bottlenecks and manual handoffs
- Reporting and measurement infrastructure
- Tracking and attribution setup
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for agreed recurring workflows
- Request intake, triage rules, ownership, approvals, and the visible work queue
What you get
- Tool-by-tool assessment
Keep, consolidate, or replace recommendations for every tool
- Workflow map with bottleneck analysis
Visual documentation of how data moves through your systems
- Prioritized fix list
Ordered by impact and effort so you know what to tackle first
- Focused implementation sprint
I implement agreed priority fixes, such as documenting repeatable workflows, clarifying ownership, and establishing a usable intake and triage process.
From diagnosis to a working system
I map where requests and work stall, identify duplicate or underused tools, and agree on the changes worth making now. For intake, that can mean capturing the goal, audience, deadline, definition of done, constraints, and approver in one brief. I define a short recurring triage, one clear owner and approver, and a visible queue so the process is usable rather than just documented.
I document the agreed recurring workflows in the format you already use, including project-management conventions, folder and naming rules, and review governance suited to your team. Work outside the implementation scope stays in the prioritized roadmap.
Timelines vary. Scope and sequencing affect delivery.
Pricing is shared after a short scoping message, based on scope.

Common questions
How long does a marketing operations audit take?▼
Timing depends on the number of systems and workflows. I confirm a diagnostic and implementation sequence after a short scoping message.
What access do you need?▼
View-only access to your marketing tools (CRM, email platform, analytics) is ideal. I can work with screenshots and documentation if access is not possible.
Will you help implement the recommendations?▼
The engagement starts with diagnosis, then moves into a focused implementation sprint for the agreed highest-priority fixes. I document anything outside that scope as a sequenced next step.
What if I use tools you have not worked with before?▼
Marketing operations principles are consistent across tools. I focus on workflow, data flow, and integration patterns that apply universally.
Do you work with B2C businesses?▼
Yes. Marketing operations audits are available for B2B, B2C, and hybrid business models.
