Messaging & Positioning Audit

If a buyer compared you to three other qualified experts, would your positioning make you the clear choice?

Take the free Messaging & Positioning Audit to find out.

Discover where your marketing is communicating the real depth of your expertise, and where it may be making it harder for your ideal buyers to understand why they should choose working with you.

You know you’re good at what you do.

Your clients know it too.

But before someone becomes a client, they don’t get to experience what it’s like to work with you.

They only have what they can see.

Your website.

Your content.

Your messaging.

The way you describe your work.

And whatever else they encounter while comparing you to other credible options.

The question is: does what they see give them a compelling reason to choose you?

For a lot of experienced experts, there’s a much bigger gap than they realize between the depth of what they actually bring to their work and what their marketing communicates.

And that gap can make exceptional expertise look surprisingly similar to everything else in the market.

This audit is for you if:

  • You know you should be getting more opportunities from the expertise and reputation you’ve built.
  • You know your work is powerful, but every attempt to describe it seems to oversimplify what you actually do.
  • People understand what makes your work different once they experience it, but communicating that difference beforehand is much harder.
  • You’ve worked on your messaging, content, positioning, or visibility and still feel like something important isn’t coming through.
  • You know there’s something distinctly yours about the way you think, solve problems, or work with clients — you’re just not sure your market can see it.

See your marketing the way a potential buyer does.

The Messaging & Positioning Audit walks you through twenty questions across five critical areas of your positioning.

01
How interchangeable your messaging sounds
Could another qualified expert put their name on what you’re saying and have most of it still work?
02
How much of your real expertise is visible
Can buyers see the thinking, experience, distinctions, and depth your clients discover after working with you?
03
How distinctly you understand your audience
Does your marketing demonstrate a level of understanding that makes the right person feel accurately diagnosed?
04
Where your thinking separates from the market
Can buyers see what you understand, believe, or do differently from the other credible options they’re considering?
05
What you’re becoming known for
Is your marketing consistently building an association between you and something specific — or are you simply publishing useful content?

When you’re finished, you’ll know:

Where your positioning is already giving buyers strong reasons to choose you.

Where the depth of your expertise is getting lost in your messaging.

Which areas may be making you appear more interchangeable than you actually are.

And where to focus next if you want your marketing to communicate a much clearer reason to choose you.

You may already have a stronger position than your marketing is showing.

After years of doing what you do, some of the most valuable parts of your expertise can become almost invisible to you.

The patterns you recognize immediately.

The questions you know to ask.

The things you would never do anymore.

The connections you make that someone with less experience wouldn’t see.

The convictions you’ve earned.

The way you understand your clients, their problems, and what actually needs to happen for them to get the result they want.

To you, much of this can feel obvious.

To the right buyer, it may be exactly what makes you the person they want.

The first step is finding out how much of it is actually making its way into your marketing.

Find out where you stand.

Bring your website, LinkedIn profile, or your most recent content. Then look at your positioning through the eyes of someone deciding:

“Why should I choose you?”
