Identify the Key Components of a Digital Marketing Assessment
There are several key components of a digital marketing assessment. Because of the many facets of modern digital marketing, innumerable paths can be taken regarding questions and answers.
Here at Lure Agency, we look at both the Science (data) and Soul (creativity).

The Science (Part 1)

Identifying the "nuts and bolts" of your digital marketing is what we consider the Science. This is the part of the assessment where you'll closely examine your website, SEO, and customer relationship management system.
Marketing assessment questions to answer:
- Is our website fully SEO-optimized with targeted keywords?
- Does my organization organically attracts new leads from our website every month?
- Is our conversion rate more than 30% after a lead has been found?
- Does my team have a viable, contactable database?
- Does my company utilize CRM software for sales & marketing activities?
While there are more areas we can dive into, you'll better understand the digital "foundation" your business is built on by answering these questions.
The Soul (Part 2)
Understanding your brand's personality, value proposition, and identity are a few ways to uncover your brand's Soul. We'll explore what makes your brand unique and how you can better communicate this to your target customers.
Marketing assessment questions to answer:
- Are our company values, mission statement, and value proposition strong?
- Is our brand personality clear, concise, and interesting?
- Do we have a tagline that sums up our company in 5 words or less?
- Is our visual identity (logo, color palette, typography) strong, consistent, and aligns with our core identity?
- Are our brand differentiators bold, unique, and distinct?
How customers perceive your brand is often overlooked as important as your digital channels and tools. Establishing a strong brand identity can create a lasting impression with potential guests.
