What it is: A complete diagnosis of your company’s marketing position: digital presence, local visibility, competitive standing, and projected outcomes by platform.
What you receive: A written report and a presentation meeting to walk through the findings and the priority order of what to fix first.
Investment: $1,000, credited toward the first month of any Ad Genius program if you enroll within 30 days of report delivery.
How it starts: The Diagnostic is offered following a discovery conversation, so the work is scoped to your company from day one. The timeline is confirmed during discovery.
Who it’s for: Operators who are ready to invest in a marketing system and want the numbers before choosing where to start.
What the Diagnostic Examines
Everything is assessed from the outside, the same view your market and your competitors have of you. No account connections required.
What You Receive
A written report and a presentation meeting to walk through it together. The report answers three questions:
The presentation meeting is where the findings become a conversation. You’ll leave knowing which program fits your situation and why the numbers support it.
Already Included in Every Program
Here is the part most companies don’t expect: every Ad Genius program begins with this diagnosis. It is how the system works. We don’t deploy channels until we know what’s broken, what’s missing, and what to fix first.
The standalone Diagnostic exists for the operator who wants that clarity before committing to a program. If you move forward within 30 days, the $1,000 applies to your first month, because the work was always part of your program. Nobody pays twice for the same diagnosis.
And if the Diagnostic puts you between two programs, our recommendation is to start at the lower tier. The programs are designed to grow into. Upgrading when the system proves itself and the timing is right is the normal path. You should never buy more program than your stage requires.
It is not an execution playbook. The Diagnostic tells you what’s broken, how you compare, and the priority order of what to fix. It does not itemize the build specifications, page maps, or campaign structures required to fix it. That is execution, and execution lives inside the programs.
It does not connect to your accounts. No access to your ad accounts, Google Search Console, or Google Analytics is required or requested. This is a deliberate scope decision. The Diagnostic assesses your market position from the outside, which is precisely the view your prospects and competitors have of you. Deeper account-level analysis happens inside a program engagement.
It is not a sales presentation with a report stapled to it. You are paying for a diagnosis, and a diagnosis is what you receive. If the findings show that a program is not the right next step for your company, the report will say so.
Investment
The Marketing Diagnostic is $1,000.
It informs one of the more consequential marketing decisions you’ll make: which program to start with, and why. The Diagnostic exists so that your decision is based on evidence.
If you enroll in any Ad Genius program within 30 days of report delivery, the full $1,000 is credited toward your first month. The math resolves one of two ways: you move forward and the Diagnostic costs you nothing, or you don’t, and you own a complete, documented picture of where your company stands. Either way, you decided with clarity.
The Diagnostic is offered following a discovery conversation, so the scope reflects your company, your market, and your goals from the start. The timeline is confirmed during discovery.
FAQ
Why does the Marketing Diagnostic cost money when other audits are free?
A free audit exists to sell you something, and its findings bend toward that purpose. A paid diagnosis exists to tell you the truth. The fee changes the nature of the engagement: you are a client receiving a diagnosis, not a lead receiving a pitch, and the findings answer to your goals rather than to a sales outcome. And because every Ad Genius program begins with this same diagnostic work, the fee is credited toward your program if you move forward within 30 days.
What should a marketing diagnostic for a service company include?
A complete marketing diagnostic examines four areas: digital presence, including website structure, speed, and content coverage; local position, including Google Business Profile performance, local visibility mapping across primary services, and identification of the competitors winning local search; paid landscape, including active campaign review through public ad transparency data and projected outcome ranges by platform; and a priority order of recommendations aligned with the company’s goals. The output should answer where the company stands, how it compares, and what to fix first.
How does the $1,000 credit work?
If you enroll in any Ad Genius program within 30 days of receiving your Diagnostic report, the full $1,000 is applied to your first month. The credit exists because the diagnostic work is already the first phase of every program. Starting with the standalone Diagnostic simply means starting with clarity before commitment. The credit applies once, to your first month, and expires 30 days after report delivery.
Why doesn’t the Diagnostic connect to my ad accounts or analytics?
The Diagnostic is designed to assess your market position from the outside, using the same view your prospects and competitors have of you. That external view is where most positioning problems are visible: local rankings, review signals, content gaps, competitive presence, and ad activity are all measurable without account access. Account-level analysis of campaign settings, conversion tracking, and analytics configuration is deeper work that happens inside a program engagement, where it can be acted on rather than only observed.
Will the Diagnostic tell me which program is right for my company?
Yes. That is one of its primary purposes. The findings, the competitive landscape, and the projected outcome ranges indicate a specific starting point, and the presentation meeting is where we walk through the reasoning together. When the numbers put a company between two programs, our recommendation is to start at the lower tier and upgrade when the system proves itself. You should never buy more program than your stage requires.
Can I take the Diagnostic report and execute it myself or with another provider?
The report is yours. It documents where you stand, how you compare, and the priority order of what needs attention, and you are free to act on it however you choose. What the report does not contain is the execution layer: the page-level specifications, keyword-to-page mapping, campaign architecture, and build details that turn priorities into results. That work is what the programs deliver. The Diagnostic gives you an accurate map. The programs are how the ground gets covered.
Clarity before commitment
Tell us about your company in a discovery call. Most operators leave that conversation knowing exactly which program fits, and the program includes this diagnosis from day one. For those who want the numbers in hand before deciding, the Marketing Diagnostic is the first step you can take with confidence.
