FAQs
-
A brand audit is a deep evaluation of how your brand performs across messaging, design, digital presence, social proof, and competitive positioning. At DLB Creative, we use an AI-powered framework that gives you a clear score, shows where you stand against competitors, and delivers a practical roadmap to grow with confidence.
Think of it like a health check-up for your brand — only smarter and more actionable.
-
Most businesses look fine on the surface but leak opportunities because their brand isn’t aligned with growth. An audit helps you:
Spot blind spots holding you back.
Benchmark against competitors.
Build confidence for investors, partners, or buyers.
Simplify decisions so your team knows what to focus on first.
If you’ve ever wondered “Why aren’t we standing out?” — that’s where a brand audit pays off.
-
Every audit includes:
A Brand Health Score across key categories (messaging, design, web, content, digital).
A competitive benchmark (local, national, and global).
Clear, color-coded recommendations (Red / Yellow / Green).
Higher tiers also include:
Investor Readiness Score (are you fund/exit-ready?).
AI Visibility Index (how well you show up in AI-driven search).
Cognitive Fluency Analysis (is your brand easy to process + recall?).
Distinctive Asset Review (logos, icons, sonic cues, mascots).
-
A stronger brand means:
Higher trust with investors, clients, and employees.
Better conversion from marketing + sales efforts.
Competitive advantage in crowded markets.
Confidence for high-stakes moments (fundraising, M&A, launches).
Many clients recover the cost of an audit with one improved client win or investor pitch.
-
Yes. We offer a White-Label Audit Program where agencies, PR firms, and consultants can offer our audits under their own brand. You pay a flat subscription + per-audit fee, and we deliver the insights for your clients.
