The Premise

Most B2B paid media problems aren't top-of-funnel. They're middle-of-funnel — warm visitors who never get retargeted, demo pages that bounce at 67%, segments that never get built. More traffic doesn't fix any of it. This audit finds the leaks first.

The Audit

Answer honestly. "No" isn't a judgment — it's a flag. Most B2B marketing teams score between 7 and 10.

Measurement, Attribution & Audience Visibility

Blind spot: Most teams think they have attribution — they actually have platform reporting instead. The highest-intent buyers are often invisible and untouched.

  • Question 1: Do you have a single, unified pixel or tracking framework across all paid channels (not platform-specific silos)?
  • Question 2: Can you clearly attribute conversions across channels, not just within each platform (LinkedIn, Google, Meta)?
  • Question 3: Do you suppress closed-won customers and active pipeline from all paid campaigns using exclusion logic or burn pixels?
  • Question 4: Can you identify which companies are visiting high-intent pages (demo, pricing, contact), not just anonymous traffic?
  • Question 5: Do you build and activate audiences based on actual onsite behavior, not just form fills?
  • Question 6: Are you capturing and segmenting repeat visitors and high-frequency engagement users?

Retargeting, Mid-Funnel & Budget Efficiency

Blind spot: Not top-of-funnel — mid-funnel neglect is where most leakage lives. Platforms optimize for themselves, not your total efficiency.

  • Question 7: Are all high-intent visitors (demo page, pricing page) automatically added to retargeting audiences within 24 hours?
  • Question 8: Do you have different messaging for different stages (awareness vs. consideration vs. decision)?
  • Question 9: Are you actively retargeting non-converting demo page visitors with tailored offers or content?
  • Question 10: Do you have a clear process to prevent spend on low-intent or irrelevant audiences?
  • Question 11: Are you actively measuring cost per qualified pipeline (not just CPL or MQL)?
  • Question 12: Do you audit for audience overlap across platforms to avoid bidding against yourself?

Channel Strategy & Conversion Performance

Blind spot: Most teams are overpaying inside walled gardens and driving traffic to pages they haven't seriously evaluated in months.

  • Question 13: Are you intentionally allocating budget across multiple channels based on performance, not defaulting to LinkedIn/Google?
  • Question 14: Have you tested and validated lower-cost channels (Meta, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) for your ICP?
  • Question 15: Do you regularly analyze conversion friction on high-intent pages (bounce rates, drop-off, time on page) and take action?
