Know what's working, what's muddled, and exactly what to fix

a Firefly Advising offering


What it is

A diagnostic that surfaces gaps between what you want your messaging to accomplish and what it's actually doing — with a clear roadmap for what to address first.


What's included

📥 Intake

You share your current brand materials, website, sales collateral, and any positioning docs you have. A brief intake call + async questionnaire covers your goals, what feedback you're hearing from prospects, where you're losing deals/customers, and what success looks like for this engagement.

🔎 Competitive/context scan

I review 3–5 direct or adjacent players to understand category language patterns and identify white space for differentiation. Light but focused — vibes, messaging themes, and how they're positioning against each other.

Messaging clarity diagnosis

The heart of the audit. I assess whether your current language is outcome-driven — does it clearly answer WHY THIS, WHY YOU, WHY NOW (more on that philosophy here). I flag where you're being descriptive instead of persuasive, where the hierarchy is unclear, and where language feels generic instead of ownable.

💡 This goes beyond clarity to conversion: is your messaging actually moving people down the funnel?

🗺️ "What to do next" roadmap

A prioritized action plan: quick wins vs. bigger lifts, what to tackle in what order, and where larger work (platform messaging, site revamp, sales enablement) would deliver the highest ROI.


What you get

One comprehensive audit document + a 60-minute readout call to walk through findings and answer questions.

The audit is designed to be immediately actionable — you can use it to improve messaging yourself, brief your team on what needs fixing, or provide clear direction to copywriters, designers, or AI tools for updates.
