The scope

What does the messaging audit measure?

What we measure

Fifteen criteria covering everything that makes a message sell or fail: positioning clarity, value proposition, differentiation, target audience, proof and credibility, calls to action, cross-channel consistency, technical SEO, GEO readiness, lead generation, content marketing, social proof, conversion path, ICP (ideal customer profile) clarity, pricing strategy.

On top of that, five layers of AI visibility: content clarity, semantic HTML, Schema.org structured data, AI crawl directives, agent comprehension. That is the part your competitors are still ignoring.

Where the data comes from

First from everything a prospect sees before calling you: your website, your LinkedIn, your press coverage, your funding announcements. Then from interviews with your CEO, your CPO (Chief Product Officer) and your CMO (Chief Marketing Officer).

That is where the proof, the numbers and the convictions that are written nowhere actually live. The raw material almost always exists. It has simply never left your heads.

That is the difference with our Observatory, which only audits what is public. The audit goes after what you already know and your market does not.

This audit applies the methodology of our Observatory Message-Market Fit study, which measured a sample of 369 French post-funding startups (n = 369): average clarity score 5.3 out of 10.

The deliverable

What do you actually receive?

A report scored criterion by criterion, with your gaps ranked by severity, a benchmark against your direct competitors and an ordered action plan. No generic advice: every finding is illustrated with your own pages, your own sentences.

The process

How does the audit unfold?

1. Interviews

One hour with each relevant executive: CEO, CMO, CPO or CTO. That is where the narrative gaps surface.

2. Analysis

Your website, your content and your presence in AI answers run through our audit technology, then through human review.

3. Report

Delivered 48 hours after the last interview.

4. Debrief

One hour to walk through the findings and decide what comes next.

Who it is for

Who is this audit for?

B2B startups and scale-ups with a strong product and a pipeline that does not follow. Executives who sense that every sales rep tells a different story. And investors who want an objective read on their portfolio companies’ messaging: packaged offers exist for business angel networks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the audit cost and what does the price include?

€3,000, all inclusive: the interviews, the full analysis across 15 criteria and 5 AI layers, the report and the debrief. No strings attached: the report is yours, you do whatever you want with it.

Why does the report arrive in 48 hours?

Because the analysis is industrialised by our own technology, the same one used to audit 369 startups for the Observatory. Human expertise focuses where it matters: interpretation, prioritisation and recommendations.

What happens after the audit?

You can execute the action plan internally. If you would rather be supported, our team rebuilds your positioning and message in 2 days on average, then guides your teams to deploy it across your assets.

Does the audit cover visibility in ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. Five analysis layers measure how citable you are for AI engines: content structure, semantic HTML, Schema.org, crawl directives and agent comprehension. You know whether AI can understand you, extract you and recommend you.

Measure what your market actually understands.
