AI Marketing Audit
The Road to Clarity Starts Here
Most companies aren't struggling because they lack marketing. They're struggling because they can't see which of it is actually working.
That fog isn't a strategy problem you fix by adding more tactics. It's a visibility problem — and visibility is exactly what an audit gives you.
An AI Marketing Audit is a strategic, human-led diagnostic of your entire marketing presence — website, content, SEO, AI/GEO visibility, and paid channels — built to show you exactly where the fastest wins are sitting untouched.
Why This Matters Right Now
Growth-stage companies rarely have a marketing problem you can see on the surface. They have a marketing problem buried under years of accumulated tactics — some working, some quietly wasting spend, most never properly evaluated against each other.
Add AI search into the mix — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews recommending your competitors instead of you — and most leadership teams don't even know where to look first.
An audit isn't another opinion. It's a clear, prioritized map of where you actually stand.
Who This Is For
This audit is built for:
- Companies at $5M+ in revenue with an established marketing function that needs an outside, unbiased evaluation
- Leadership teams who suspect marketing spend isn't being allocated to what's actually working
- Organizations bringing on a new CMO or marketing lead who need a clear baseline before setting strategy
- Businesses that have started exploring AI tools but have no framework for evaluating where they stand
- Any company that wants rigor and a documented roadmap — not another vendor pitching a package before understanding the business
What the AI Marketing Audit Covers
This is a comprehensive, done-for-you diagnostic — not a template checklist. Every audit is built around your specific business, competitive landscape, and goals.
This is not a software-generated report. It is personally conducted by me — Patricia Hughes — with over 40 years of marketing and sales strategy experience across more than 40 industries.
What your Audit includes:
- Full marketing footprint review — website, SEO, content, social, and paid channels
- GEO visibility check — how AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity currently represent your business
- Gap analysis — where you're invisible, where you're inconsistent, and where you're already strong
- Competitive positioning review against others in your category
- A prioritized roadmap — the highest-leverage moves, ranked by effort vs. impact
Delivery: A full written report, plus a live walkthrough call to discuss findings and next steps.
Why Work With Me
I'm Patricia Hughes, founder of ePlus Marketing LLC. I've spent over 40 years in sales and marketing, working across more than 40 industries — from Fortune 500 manufacturers to established regional and national companies.
I'm not the person who hands you a bloated plan built to justify a retainer. I'm the strategist who tells you the truth about what's broken, what's fine as-is, and what to fix first — with the rigor a real budget deserves.
I work with a small number of clients at a time so every engagement gets my full attention. You work directly with me — not a junior account manager.

AI Marketing Audit FAQ
The GEO Readiness Score is a free, automated snapshot focused specifically on your AI search visibility. The AI Marketing Audit is a comprehensive, personally conducted diagnostic covering your entire marketing presence — website, SEO, content, paid channels, and AI/GEO visibility together — with a full written report and prioritized roadmap.
Yes. This engagement is 100% remote, and I work with companies nationally. St. Louis-area companies receive the added benefit of local market knowledge, but location has no bearing on the quality or depth of the audit.
Most audits are completed within 2–3 weeks from kickoff, depending on the complexity of your marketing footprint and how quickly we can gather access to your existing channels and data.
You walk away with a written report and a live call to discuss findings — no obligation to do anything further. Many companies choose to move into the Strategic Roadmap or Advisory Retainer to implement the priorities we identify, but the audit stands on its own as a complete deliverable either way.
This audit is built for established companies, typically $5M+ in annual revenue, with an existing marketing function or budget. If you're an earlier stage, start with the free GEO Readiness Score instead—it'll tell you where you stand at no cost.

I have been with ePlus Marketing for a long time and one word that really stands out in my mind to describe this firm is "professionalism". They will bring you a complete project plan that is laid out step by step and the time and money that it will take to produce the project. But their efforts don't stop there..even after the project is completed, they will continuously work with you to bring new ideas to the table to produce even more results for your internet marketing. I believe that ePlus goes above and beyond and that is why I would never consider working with another firm. I can't recommend them highly enough. I know for a fact that I will be with ePlus Marketing for a very long time to come. I love this firm!
