What Is the 1015 Audit?

Traffic reports tell you visits are up. They don't tell you your contact form has been broken for four months. That's the gap the 1015 Audit closes.

Every edition.

Why we write this.

Honest version: most “marketing newsletters” are content marketing.

Agencies pump out blog posts to feed their SEO and try to look smart. We didn’t want to do that.

Editions exists for two reasons. First, we like writing — both of us, separately, find ourselves opinionated about this stuff and the audit process surfaces enough material to keep a monthly going indefinitely. Second, it’s the closest thing we have to letting prospects sample our brains before they hire us. The audit is a sample of how we look at sites. Editions is a sample of how we think.

If both feel like the right fit, you’ll know. If they don’t, no harm done — unsubscribe in one click and we both move on.

One a month. On the 15th.

Or just request the audit — subscribers and audit recipients are the same list.
