The Authority Audit™ from TW3 Marketing
An Authority Audit is an independent look at how much your customers, and the AI tools they now ask, trust your business.
The Authority Audit™ from TW3 Marketing scores that trust across six signals and shows you exactly where it is breaking down.
What Is an Authority Audit?
An Authority Audit is not a financial audit. It does not touch your books.
It measures something most businesses never check. Whether the people you want to serve, and the AI engines they now trust for recommendations, already see you as the obvious expert.
The Authority Audit™ from TW3 Marketing uses the Authority Framework™ to grade six signals of trust and turn them into one number, your Authority Score™. That score tells you where you stand and what is holding you back.
Your Problem Is Probably Not Traffic
Most owners believe they need more traffic. More clicks. More leads.
But look closer at where deals actually stall. The traffic shows up. The leads come in. Then they go quiet, or they pick someone else.
That is rarely a traffic problem. It is a trust problem. When a customer cannot quickly tell that you are the safe choice, they keep looking for someone who feels safer. The Authority Audit finds the exact moments where that doubt creeps in.
The Six Signals an Authority Audit Measures
The Authority Framework™ from TW3 Marketing scores six signals that decide whether customers and AI systems treat you as the trusted expert.
Positioning
Does your site make it obvious what you do, who you help, and why you are different?
Proof
Can a stranger see real evidence of your work through reviews, testimonials, and results?
Expertise
Do you regularly share ideas that show you know your field better than the next option?
Visibility
Engagement
Experience
Do people respond to your content, or does it feel like posting into an empty room?
When someone searches, or asks an AI for a recommendation, do you show up at all?
Does your website and follow-up make people feel confident, or make them hesitate?

Why Authority Beats Persuasion
Most marketing tries to persuade. It pushes harder, louder, and more often.
