You heard of KonMari?
For those who haven’t, it’s a Japanese method of simplifying and organizing your home by getting rid of physical items that do not spark joy.

The concept to include things in your life that works for you and discard the rest that doesn’t, isn’t only a novel idea but an amazing template to make important life choices as well. How about if you apply the same theory to work or business? And, which surely includes the digital presence of your business.

Today, it goes without saying that a business with no social media presence is a dud. Yes, you can pick examples to prove us right. Moving on, it happens that you are in a position where you are pulling all the right strings, yet you are unable to get the desired results! It has happened to all of us.

In that case, what we do is stick to the things that reap results and chuck out the rest. Simple! Otherwise, as we know, it becomes a sheer waste of time, effort and money even if you employ the best audit and optimization techniques. The ‘one-size-fits-all’ mentality must be discarded. We can’t rely on the tried-and-tested methods and expect miracles to happen.

How do you know if you are on the right path?

A periodic Digital Marketing Audit, by an independent digital marketing agency is the only way out. It can tell you which strategy worked, and which didn’t. Then, you just know where to put your money on.

A digital marketing audit is also a stepping stone for a formidable content strategy. A digital marketing audit isn’t a luxury but a necessity in 2019. It will make you aware of the content that performed well and why, which channel is suitable for your business, whether your business goal and digital marketing strategies are aligned, is your team adept to manage it internally or you need to hire an agency for better reach and engagement and so much more.
