The SME Lead Engine Audit

A Practical Checklist for Owner-Managed Businesses

Most established service businesses don’t have a marketing problem.

They have a structure problem.

They may have:

  • A website
  • Some SEO
  • A LinkedIn page
  • Occasional advertising

But they don’t have a joined-up lead engine.

This short audit will help you identify where enquiries are being lost — quietly and expensively.

It’s designed for owner-managed businesses turning over £500,000–£5 million who rely on steady enquiry flow to grow.

Work through each section honestly.

Tick Yes or No.

    Section 1 – Website Performance




    Commercial reality:
    A professionally built website that does not convert traffic into enquiries is a silent cost centre.

    Section 2 – Local Visibility




    Commercial reality:
    If you are not visible when someone is actively searching, you are funding your competitors.

    Section 3 – Enquiry Tracking




    Commercial reality:
    Marketing without tracking is guesswork. Guesswork wastes budget.

    Section 4 – Paid Lead Generation




    Commercial reality:
    Advertising works — when it is managed commercially.
    Unmanaged campaigns quietly erode margin.

    Section 5 – Follow-Up Systems




    Commercial reality:
    Many businesses focus on new leads while neglecting existing relationships.

    Final Page – Your Score

    Count how many “No” answers you have.
    0–3 → Your lead engine is structured
    4–7 → There are likely hidden enquiry leaks
    8+ → You are probably relying on referrals and goodwill
