How to Know When It’s Time for a Social Media Audit (And What Happens Next)

If your social media feels a little…off lately, you’re not alone. You’re posting, showing up, maybe even trying to follow a plan, but the engagement is low, the content feels a little scattered, and nothing is clicking the way it used to.

You don’t need to throw your whole strategy out the window, you just need a reset.
Cue: the social media audit. 

What’s a Social Media Audit, Anyway?

A social media audit is like a health checkup for your brand’s online presence. It’s a deep dive into your content, performance, audience, and strategy (or lack thereof) to figure out what’s working, what’s not, and where the gaps are.

Think of it as pressing pause, taking a breath, and saying, “Okay, what’s really going on here?”

Signs It’s Time for an Audit:

👀 You’re posting consistently, but the engagement is flat.
📉 Your reach is dropping and you’re not gaining followers.
🧩 Your content feels disconnected from your brand or goals.
🗓 You haven’t looked at your analytics in… a while.
🤷‍♀️ You’re not sure who you’re talking to anymore.
📲 You’re spending way too much time posting and not seeing any ROI.

If you read those and nodded even once, hi, it’s time. 

What Happens During an Audit?

At Goldenbird Marketing, we don’t just skim your feed and tell you to “post more Reels.”
Here’s what we actually do:

Profile Review
We look at your bio, profile pic, highlights, and overall branding. Is it clear? Is it cohesive? Would a stranger know who you are and what you do in 10 seconds or less?

Content + Performance Breakdown
We dig into your posts and look at what’s getting engagement, what’s getting ignored, and why. Are you using the right content types, hooks, calls-to-action, hashtags? Are people actually paying attention?

Audience + Engagement Check
Are you attracting the right people? Is anyone talking back when you post? We evaluate how you’re building (or missing) community.

Strategy Gaps
We’ll tell you where the disconnect is between your content and your business goals, and how to realign.

Loom Walkthrough
You’ll get a video of us walking through everything we found, breaking it down in real human terms. No jargon, just clarity.

Then What?

We don’t leave you hanging. Once the audit is complete, we use what we learned to build a clear direction forward. You’ll walk away with:

✅ A better understanding of where your content stands
✅ Actionable next steps to improve your presence
✅ A plan rooted in your goals, not guesswork
✅ Renewed confidence (and a whole lot less stress)
