Do Swot analysis and Research (Audit) on any company
A digital-marketing agency to audit any company, produce a SWOT, spot missing points, and deliver a clear, prioritized solution — using free tools + AI.
One-line process
Collect → Auto-audit → Manual review → Synthesize (AI) → Recommend — repeat.
Quick checklist (what to collect from client first)
- Website URL + Google Analytics / Search Console access
- Social handles (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, others)
- Google Business Profile access (or business name + address)
- 2 competitor URLs/handles
- Any past reports/brand assets
Step-by-step audit recipe (free tools + what to check)
-
Website — technical & UX
- Run PageSpeed Insights / Lighthouse → capture Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID) and mobile/desktop scores. Fix priority: mobile speed, image compression, caching, server response.
- Check Search presence with Google Search Console (indexing, top queries, CTR, coverage errors). Look for noindex pages, sitemap, structured data gaps.
- Tech stack & crawl: Screaming Frog (free 500 URLs) or site:crawl + Wappalyzer/BuiltWith for plugins/SSL/robots.txt/sitemap.
- Quick UX checks: donate/contact CTA visible, mobile nav, forms working, clear hero message, privacy/receipt flow.
-
Local / Google Business Profile
- Claim & optimize GBP: NAP consistency, category, photos, services, posts, reply to reviews, Google Q&A. Missing or unverified GBP = huge local discoverability leak.
-
SEO & Visibility
- Check organic keywords & impressions (Search Console), on-page SEO (titles/meta), missing H1s, thin pages. Use Ahrefs Webmaster Tools or Ubersuggest free features for quick backlink snapshot.
- Check schema with Google Rich Results / mobile-friendly test.
-
Social channels (fast checklist per platform)
- Instagram: bio + link, profile photo, consistent handle, highlights, reels usage, engagement per post (likes+comments ÷ followers). Use Instagram Insights + SocialBlade for growth trends.
- Facebook: page completeness, CTA buttons, pinned post, events, reviews, response time (Page Insights).
- LinkedIn: company page filled, employees linked, content cadence, CSR/partnership posts.
- YouTube: channel art, playlists, thumbnails, retention & watch time (YouTube Studio); use SocialBlade for public growth metrics.
-
Reputation & listening
- Set Google Alerts + Talkwalker Free Search for brand mentions; check local review sites (Justdial / Sulekha / local directories).
- Scan for fake or duplicated listings (Google has been cracking down on fakes — watch for warning signs).
-
Competitor benchmarking
- Quick traffic & channel compare: SimilarWeb / Ubersuggest / SocialBlade for follower & view trends (free overviews). Use these to spot content gaps and ad patterns.
-
Data & dashboard
- Pull key metrics into Google Looker Studio (free) to create a one-page executive dashboard (sessions, top pages, GMB views, socials growth, donations).
How to convert audits into a crisp SWOT + solution (use AI)
- Put audit outputs into a simple table (sheet columns: channel, metric, current, ideal, gap, evidence/link).
- Use this ChatGPT prompt (paste full table afterward):
“You are an expert digital marketing consultant. Based on the following audit table (paste), produce: 1) one-paragraph Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats; 2) Top 5 prioritized fixes (action + expected impact); 3) 90-day roadmap in priority order; 4) 3 KPIs to measure success.”
- Ask the model to produce a one-page executive summary + slide bullet points (copy directly into owner presentation).

Quick scoring rules you can use to flag issues (yes/no checks)
- Website loads under 3s on mobile? (fail if >3s) — use PageSpeed.
- Clear Donate/Contact CTA above the fold? (Y/N)
- Google Business Profile claimed & verified? (Y/N)
- Social channels: profile bio + link + 3 recent posts? (Y/N)
- Response to reviews/messages within 72 hrs? (Y/N)
- Tracking installed (GA4 + Search Console)? (Y/N)
Any “No” = immediate priority.
Deliverable you can present to owners (simple, 1-page)
- Top 3 urgent issues (bullet) — e.g., unclaimed GBP, no donate CTA, mobile speed poor.
- Impact if fixed (short): +local discoverability, +donations, +volunteer signups.
- Top 5 recommended actions (with owner ask: access/approval/budget).
- Next steps (who does what — agency vs owner).
If you want, I’ll generate:
- a one-page audit checklist (Google Sheets) you can use live with clients, or
- a ready ChatGPT prompt pack (SWOT → 90-day plan → email to owner).
