free work audit

Your retainer buys hours. Somebody should be counting them.

Connect your analytics and your website, and askotter counts the changes that shipped on your account last month. Then it divides your invoice by the hours behind them.

the math

The rate is the number that settles it.

Nobody can prove what your traffic would have done otherwise, so ROI never settles anything. A change either shipped or it did not, and dividing what you paid by the hours behind those changes gives you a rate.

At $3,000 an hour, thirty minutes of work costs you $1,500, and the same $1,500 buys fifteen months of askotter at $99/mo.

Arithmetic on the two numbers you set above, nothing else. It is an estimate until you connect your account.

if you run an agency

A good agency should want this pointed at them.

When effort is invisible, a team shipping thirty changes a month is priced against a team shipping two. A change log is the receipt for the work you already do.

faq

The questions people ask first.

How do you know how much time my agency spent?
We do not claim to. The audit lists every change it can see in your analytics, search data and live site, and gives each one a conservative time estimate. Treat the total as a floor.

What if my agency is doing work the audit cannot see?
Strategy calls, research and reporting are real work and the audit does not count them, nor anything in a tool you have not connected. Ask your agency to fill in the rest; a good one will have an answer ready.

Is this just an anti-agency pitch?
No. Plenty of agencies earn their retainer several times over, and if yours ships steadily the audit says so in writing. askotter also works alongside an agency.

What does it cost and what do you do with the data?
The audit is free, with no card. Access is read-only, nothing in your accounts changes, and we do not sell or share your data.

How long does the first audit take?
Connecting takes about ten minutes. The first audit covers the last thirty days and arrives within two business days, because a person reads it first.
