The Growth Check: where you are now, and where you want to go

Not an audit of your website. A conversation about the business, written up afterwards: where you stand today, where you want to be, what it takes to get there — and what keeps it going once you are there.

Request your Growth Check

Two or three lines: what you sell, to whom, and how customers find you today.
As concretely as you can. Revenue, markets, team size, or the thing that is impossible for you today.
Which of these is closest to your ceiling right now?*
Pick the one that hurts most. There is usually one, and it is often not the one people expect.
Optional, and the most useful answer on this form. It stops us proposing something you have already paid for once.
Is there anything that means this has to be sorted before a particular date?*
A date beats a wish. “No, we are orienting” is a real answer and changes nothing about the conversation.
Optional. Only so we can have a look before we speak.
Optional, and the fastest way to plan the conversation.

  • A conversation, not a report card

    We ask about the business, not only the website. What sells, what stalls, where your capacity runs out, and what you actually want two years from now.

  • You leave with a direction

    Written up in plain language: your position today, the gap, and the order we would close it in. Yours to keep, and to use without us.

  • Free, and no prices in the write-up

    We do not quote inside the document. If working together is the logical next step, we say so out loud afterwards.

What we work through

Three questions, answered properly

  • Where you are now

    Honestly, and with numbers where you have them. What the business runs on today, which channels actually bring customers, what you spend time on that does not pay, and which of your assumptions we would test first.

  • Where you want to go

    Your ambition, made specific enough to steer by. Bigger is not a goal; twice the enquiries from two markets with the same team is. We keep asking until the answer is something you could measure a year from now.

  • What it takes — and what keeps it going

    The gap between the two, in the order we would close it: what has to be true first, what can wait, what you can do yourself, and what needs money or people. Plus what has to keep happening, because most growth stalls at maintenance and not at the launch.

The Growth Check is not the scan

These are two different products, and it is worth knowing which one you need.

A website scan or webshop scan examines what you already have. It is technical and editorial work along a fixed set, it produces findings about your site, and you can act on most of it the same week.

The Growth Check looks up from the website. It is a conversation about the business, and it produces direction: where you are, where you want to be, and the order of the work in between. It can very well conclude that your website is not the problem at all.

Want both? Start with the Growth Check. It tells us where to look hardest when we then scan.

What we will ask you

Nothing you need to build a deck for. How you win customers today, which of that you can rely on, what your team can carry, what a good year looks like in your own numbers, and what has been on the list for too long. If you have figures, bring them; if you do not, we work with what you know.

We will also ask what you have already tried and what did not work. That is usually the most useful half hour of the conversation.

Who this is for

Startups past their first traction, and established small and mid-sized companies with a real ambition and a real constraint. If you already know exactly what you want built and only need a price, the Growth Check is not the fastest route — ask us for a quote instead.

How it works

From a form to a direction you can steer by

  • You fill in the form

    Six questions, two of them optional. They exist so the conversation can start in the middle instead of at the beginning.

  • We talk for forty-five minutes

    Video call or at your place. Two of us, so one can listen while the other asks.

  • You get the direction in writing

    Within five working days: where you stand, where you want to be, and the order of the work between the two. No prices in the document.

  • You decide what happens next

    Run it yourself, take it to another party, or talk to us about part of it. All three are fine, and we say honestly which one we think fits.

Want the technical picture too?

Then add a scan

A website or webshop scan goes through your site along a fixed set: your customer, findability, functionality and the rules. Free as well, and just as free of prices.

Questions about the Growth Check

We do not bring a deck and we do not quote in the document. The write-up is useful whether or not you ever work with us, and plenty of companies use it to brief someone else. If we think there is a fit, we say so once at the end of the conversation instead of throughout it.
