Information is often harder to find than expected. Journeys can feel unclear, next steps may not be obvious and small points of friction can reduce conversion without being immediately visible.
Many companies recognise that their website could perform better, but struggle to see where the biggest opportunities are. Internal teams know the website, products and processes well. That knowledge is valuable, but it can also make it difficult to experience the journey as a new customer would.
As a result, unclear messaging, unnecessary steps or unmet expectations can easily become part of the normal experience without being questioned.
That is where our CX Audit can help. We assess your customer journey from an outside perspective, identify where friction occurs and show which improvements deserve attention first.
A CX Audit provides a structured review of the customer experience across your website or digital journey.
By assessing the experience against established CX principles and, where relevant, comparing it with competitors, we help reveal what is working, what is missing and where expectations are not being met.
We look beyond individual pages and consider the full context of the journey. This can include the clarity of the proposition, navigation, content, calls to action, trust signals, forms and the consistency between different steps.
Each finding is reviewed in context, prioritised and translated into clear, practical recommendations. Rather than providing a long list of disconnected observations, we focus on the issues that are most likely to affect customer understanding, confidence and progression.
This creates a more focused view of the journey and helps teams move from assumptions to clear optimisation priorities.
Where behavioural data is available, we can also include funnel analysis.
This helps connect potential experience issues to what users actually do. Drop-off points, repeated actions, hesitation and incomplete journeys can provide a clearer indication of where customers are struggling and where improvements may have the greatest impact.
For example, an expert review may identify that a page contains too much information or that the next step is unclear. Behavioural data can then help show whether users are leaving the page, returning to previous steps or abandoning the journey altogether.
By combining expert review with behavioural data, we create a stronger basis for informed optimisation decisions. It helps teams understand not only what could be improved, but also why it matters.
For companies that have not yet invested heavily in customer research, experimentation or conversion optimisation, a CX Audit can offer a focused and accessible first step.
It can help identify the most important opportunities before committing to larger research, redesign or A/B testing programmes. This allows teams to invest time and budget more deliberately, based on a clearer understanding of the current experience.
The scope can range from a few key pages or a specific funnel to the full customer journey. Depending on the objective, the audit can focus on areas such as acquisition, onboarding, lead generation, checkout or self-service.
The result is a clearer view of what could be improved, why it matters and what a logical next step could be. It gives teams a practical starting point for creating a smoother, clearer and more effective customer experience.
