How Do I Start My First Audit?
Learn how to begin your first MarketingStride audit from your workspace or getting-started flow.
You can start your first audit from the getting-started flow or from an available audit action in your workspace.
The exact starting point depends on your plan and which audit types are available to your account.
Quick answer
Choose the audit action available for your plan, enter the requested website or page details, and start the analysis.
MarketingStride will show progress while the audit runs, so you can see that the evaluation is underway.
What you may be asked to enter
Depending on the audit type, MarketingStride may ask for:
- your website;
- a page on your website;
- a competitor page;
- a competitor website.
For page audits, MarketingStride checks that the final page URL belongs to your current website.
What happens after you start
After you start an audit, MarketingStride opens an analysis activity view so you can see the current status.
You do not need to keep watching the page the whole time.
Your result will appear in the appropriate workspace or results area when that analysis is ready.
If an audit option is not available
Some audit types depend on your plan, your remaining allowance, or your property history.
If an audit option is not available, MarketingStride may show why it cannot be started right now.
That usually means the option depends on your plan, a required allowance, or prior property history that is not yet in place.
