Success Stories
Alliance Exteriors
"We were spending $3,000/month on SEO without seeing results and hadn't received a single report in six months. Thrive Insights' audit was eye-opening. They flagged the complete lack of KPIs, reporting, or local SEO work from our agency. We immediately put processes in place, and after our contract ended, we switched to a better-fit agency with stronger structure and pricing. We've already started seeing improvements in our organic rankings"
- Gabriel Navarro, CEO
DTC Wellness Brand
"Before working with Thrive Insights, we'd been running Meta ads for months with no real understanding of what was performing or why. The audit surfaced targeting gaps, high frequency, creative fatigue, and missing tracking events etc., things our agency hadn't flagged once. The clarity helped us restructure our ad strategy and hold our team accountable. We saw a noticeable lift in ROAS within weeks."
- DTC Founder
CMY Renovations
"We thought our marketing was fine, until Thrive's audit revealed that our messaging didn't match what our customers actually cared about. They highlighted missed local SEO opportunities, poor retention email sequencing, and budget misalignment across channels. It was the most actionable marketing insight we've had in years."
- Colton Young, CEO

It helps identify gaps and opportunities for improvement, giving you the insights needed to maximize ROI and make data-driven decisions. Unlike typical marketing agencies, our audits are completely independent and unbiased, ensuring you get honest, actionable insights without pressure to buy ongoing services.
Why should I choose an independent audit over an agency report?
Unlike traditional agencies, we don't offer execution services or retainers. Thrive Insights's audits are free from agency affiliations, ensuring you receive clear, objective insights. This makes us fully independent, focused solely on helping you evaluate performance and make informed, data-backed decisions.
How is Thrive Insights different from a consultant or agency?
