Assessment Service — Independent Audit & Roadmap

Compass

Know exactly where you stand — before you spend another dollar.

$1,995 One-time engagement · No ongoing commitment required

Compass is for a business owner who doesn’t know where to start — or who has spent on technology and marketing without clear results and wants an independent read before spending more.

We assess your website, technology stack, and visibility across Google and AI-powered search. Everything comes back in a plain-language written report: what’s working, what’s broken, what to fix first, and what not to spend money on. The report is accompanied by a sequenced 12-month roadmap and a 60-minute senior walkthrough.

What’s Included

  • Website and technology audit
    A full review of site speed, structure, and technical health; the current technology stack and how it’s configured; and what the setup can and can’t do for the business.
  • SEO, local search, and AI-search visibility
    How the business appears in traditional search results, Google Maps and local listings, and AI-powered search platforms. Includes a review of structured content — the signals that determine whether AI tools can find and recommend the business.
  • Written plain-language report
    All findings in clear, jargon-free language. The report identifies what’s working, what’s broken, and why — with enough specificity to act on independently or share with any vendor.
  • Prioritized 12-month roadmap
    A sequenced plan that shows what to fix first, what to defer, and what not to spend money on. The roadmap is yours to use as you choose — with Dharne or with anyone else.
  • 60-minute senior walkthrough
    A live session with a Dharne senior advisor to walk through the findings, answer questions, and confirm the roadmap reflects your priorities.

What’s not included

Compass is an assessment and planning service. It does not include implementation, fixes or ongoing management. The roadmap is yours to use independently, with Dharne or with another provider—there is no obligation to continue.

Who Compass is for

  • You’re unsure where to start or what to prioritize
  • You’ve spent money on technology or marketing without seeing results
  • You want an independent second opinion before committing to a vendor
  • You’re evaluating proposals and want to know what you actually need
  • Something feels off with your online presence but you can’t pinpoint it

How It Works

1

Kickoff conversation

A 30-minute kickoff conversation to understand your business, goals and current concerns. This is also where we confirm scope and identify any access or materials needed before the assessment begins.

2

We conduct the full assessment

We audit your website, technology stack, local listings, and visibility in traditional and AI-powered search. Structured, systematic, and independent.

3

You receive the written report and roadmap

Your written report and roadmap are typically delivered within 7–10 business days after the kickoff and receipt of any required access or materials.

4

We walk through it together

A 60-minute session with a senior advisor to review findings, answer questions, and make sure the roadmap reflects your priorities.

“No upsell. No vendor agenda.”

You walk away with a written report in plain language — what’s working, what’s broken, what to fix first, and what to skip. The roadmap is yours. What you do with it is your decision.
