Client journey
Audit what clients experience, not just what the business sends.
A client journey audit shows where people gain confidence, where they wait, and where important relationships become dependent on memory.

The objective
Document the experience from first impression through referral, then identify the first meaningful point where clarity, ownership, or follow-through breaks down.
The audit is not a list of marketing channels. It connects the promises prospects see with the operational experience that follows.
Seven moments to examine
- VisibilityWhere do the right prospects encounter you, and can you identify which sources produce relevant attention?
- RecognitionCan they tell who you help, what situation you understand, and what makes the approach credible?
- InquiryIs the next step obvious on every important profile, page, and message?
- ResponseWho owns the first response, how quickly does it happen, and where is it recorded?
- DecisionWhat questions, proof, and expectations help a prospect confidently choose the next step?
- ServiceHow are updates, milestones, responsibilities, and changes communicated during the relationship?
- ContinuationWhat happens after closing to support reviews, useful contact, repeat business, and referrals?
Evidence worth collecting
- The three most important places prospects find you
- The inquiry path on each source
- A sample of recent response times
- Active opportunities without a dated next action
- Client-facing milestones and update routines
- Review requests and completed reviews
- Past clients contacted through a planned, useful interaction
A missing document or system is itself useful evidence. Do not create polished material solely to make the audit look complete.
