Social Media Audit Services in Cape Cod
Wondering why your social media isn’t converting? Our audit reveals the answers, and the fix.
Is your social media presence underperforming or feeling unfocused? Social media audit services in Cape Cod from Sandy Neck Media can pinpoint exactly what’s working, and what isn’t, so you stop guessing and start converting likes into real business results. We begin by understanding your goals and current strategy. Then we systematically review each of your social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.) for consistent branding and messaging. Our team identifies the content types (videos, photos, stories, posts) that spark the most engagement and highlights the audience segments most likely to become customers. The result is a clear, data-driven strategy to optimize your organic social efforts, strengthen your brand’s online presence, and drive real connections (and sales) through social media.
What is a Social Media Audit?
A social media audit is a thorough review of your organic social channels to evaluate performance, consistency, and strategy. In practice, we examine your profiles and content on each platform, from page setup and profile information to post quality and frequency. We compare your accounts to industry benchmarks and competitors, analyze key metrics like engagement rates and follower growth, and assess how well each network is aligned with your business goals.
Why Your Business Needs a Social Media Audit
Unlock Growth Opportunities: The audit highlights the types of content and posting habits that resonate most with your audience. You’ll learn where to increase investment (for example, more video content on Instagram) and where to cut back (perhaps an underperforming channel you should deprioritize).
Improve Engagement: By seeing exactly which posts and interactions drive likes and comments, you can refine your content strategy to boost engagement. For example, if stories and live videos on Facebook get the best response, the audit will show that.
Ensure Consistency: We make sure your brand looks and feels uniform across every profile. Consistent branding (logos, fonts, colors, voice) builds trust and helps people instantly recognize your business on Cape Cod’s crowded social scene.
Optimize Resources: Social media takes time. An audit helps you spend your efforts and budget on the right platforms and tactics. If you’re posting daily on a network that yields minimal ROI, we’ll point that out so you can focus on channels that actually generate leads or sales.
Align with Business Goals: Every post should serve a purpose. We tie your social activities back to real business objectives (website visits, inquiries, bookings, etc.) so that your social media isn’t just busywork but a measurable part of your marketing plan.

Social Media Audit Checklist
Profile Optimization
Review bios, profile images, cover photos, and descriptions for each platform. Are they up-to-date and on-brand?
Content Quality & Variety
Evaluate recent posts for relevance and variety. Do you have a good mix of images, videos, stories, and text? Are you missing major content types (like live videos or reels)?
Engagement Analysis
Measure average engagement rates (likes, comments, shares) on recent posts. Identify top-performing posts, and what made them succeed? Also spot underperformers.
Call-to-Action Usage
Check if posts include clear calls-to-action (like “Shop now,” “Learn more,” or link clicks) and track if social channels drive traffic or leads.
Influencer & Partner Activity
If applicable, see if collaborators or influencers are tagging you. Are you leveraging partnerships and mentions?
Compliance & Best Practices
Ensure you’re following platform rules (e.g., no banned content or incorrect usage) and capitalizing on new features (like Stories or Reels) that other brands may be using.
Brand Consistency
Check that your logo, color scheme, and messaging style are uniform across all channels, so your business is instantly recognizable.
Posting Frequency & Schedule
Analyze how often you post on each channel and at what times. Are you posting consistently, or sporadically? Does your schedule align with when your audience is most active?
Audience & Follower Quality
Look at follower counts and growth trends. Are your followers relevant to your business (e.g., local Cape Cod customers) or generic/spam accounts?
Hashtags and Keywords
For platforms like Instagram and TikTok, review hashtag use. Are you using relevant, trending hashtags to increase visibility?
Review Responses & Community
Assess how promptly and authentically you respond to comments and messages. Strong engagement includes active community management.
Platform-Specific Audits
Not all social networks are the same. We perform focused audits for the key platforms your business uses:
Facebook Page Audit
We examine your Facebook Business Page setup, post history, and community engagement. Are your profile and cover images on brand? Do you use Facebook’s features like Events, Services, or Shop? We analyze which types of Facebook posts (images, videos, or text updates) get the most reactions and whether you’re posting at optimal times. We also review your Page’s performance insights: like reach, page likes growth, and comment response rate. Finally, we check your Call-to-Action buttons (e.g., Book Now, Contact Us) to ensure Facebook is driving meaningful actions.
Instagram Profile Audit
For Instagram, we look at your profile aesthetics and bio effectiveness. Is your business profile complete with a clear description and link? We inspect your recent posts, Stories, and Reels to see what visuals and hashtags are generating engagement. We’ll point out if your posts have consistent branding and if you’re tagging locations or using relevant hashtags that local customers search. We also analyze follower growth, story view rates, and engagement-per-post. If applicable, we review Instagram Shopping tags or highlight covers to optimize customer experience on your profile.
LinkedIn & X (Twitter) Audit
For professional networking or B2B contexts, we audit LinkedIn Company Pages and Twitter (now X) accounts. On LinkedIn, we review company profile completeness, content relevance (blogs, articles, industry insights), and engagement (likes, comments from professionals). On X, we analyze tweet frequency, follower quality, and hashtag strategy. We ensure these platforms accurately reflect your business expertise and are reaching the right professional or local community.
TikTok & Emerging Platform Audit
If your brand has a TikTok or is exploring other trending platforms (like Snapchat or Pinterest), we evaluate those too. TikTok Audit focuses on your video content’s creativity and virality. We check if your TikTok content aligns with trending formats or hashtags and whether you are engaging with comments. For any niche or emerging platform you use, we examine presence, consistency, and growth to ensure you’re not missing out on new audiences.
YouTube Channel Audit (if applicable)
If you have a YouTube presence, we examine your channel branding, video SEO (titles, descriptions, tags), and viewer engagement (views, likes, comments). We check if video content is consistent and calls viewers to action (like visiting your website or following other social accounts).
