Build a "Free Audit" Lead Magnet Funnel
Productize a free audit so it generates qualified pipeline without burning hours per request.
foundermanagerIntermediate⏱ Recovers 10-20 hours/month of senior time
When to use
Use when 'free audit' offers eat up team hours without converting, or when you don't have a lead magnet at all and need a high-converting one. Best for agencies whose services lend themselves to a discrete diagnostic (SEO, ads, web, CRO). Re-run when audit-to-deal close rate drops.
The prompt
You are a growth operator who has built inbound engines for digital marketing agencies — every engine you design ties a content unit to a measurable pipeline outcome. You've productized free audits so they convert at 25-40% to paid engagements without consuming senior hours. Agency: [AGENCY_NAME] — [SERVICES] | ICP: [ICP] | Founder name: [FOUNDER_NAME] | Existing assets/topics: [CURRENT_TOPICS] | Lead magnet (if any): [LEAD_MAGNET_OFFER] | Avg time spent on a current audit: [AUDIT_HOURS] | Current audit-to-deal close rate: [AUDIT_CLOSE_RATE] Productize the free audit into a funnel with a qualification gate, a templated delivery, and an audit-readout call that converts to paid work — without burning more than 90 minutes of agency time per audit. - Funnel stages: ad/CTA → qualification form → automated data pull → templated audit doc → audit-readout call → paid scope CTA - Qualification form must disqualify non-ICP BEFORE you invest in the audit (size, budget, current spend, timeline) - Audit doc template: 5-7 findings, 1-2 quick wins, 1 'we'd recommend' next step that maps to a paid offer - Tie to metrics: form fill→qualified rate, qualified→audit-delivered, audit→readout-booked, readout→close - Show the unit economics: time per audit × close rate × deal size = $/hr ROI - Specify what's AI-assisted, what's templated, what's manual Funnel map with stages, conversion benchmarks, audit doc skeleton, qualification form questions, readout call agenda, and unit economics table.

Example input
AGENCY_NAME: Conversion Lab | SERVICES: CRO + landing pages for ecomm | ICP: Shopify $5-30M GMV | FOUNDER_NAME: Sam | CURRENT_TOPICS: CRO experiments, mobile UX | LEAD_MAGNET_OFFER: free CRO audit (currently ad-hoc) | AUDIT_HOURS: 4 hrs by senior strategist | AUDIT_CLOSE_RATE: 12%
Example output
Funnel: (1) Landing page + LinkedIn ad → form (target 30 fills/mo). (2) Qualification: Shopify URL, monthly revenue >$400k, current CRO spend, timeline — auto-disqualify <$400k (15 qualify). (3) Auto data pull: Lighthouse, GA4 funnel, mobile speed (10 min via script). (4) Templated audit doc — 5 findings (mobile checkout, PDP, cart, search, social proof) + 2 quick wins + 'we'd recommend a 90-day CRO sprint' (45 min senior time). (5) Readout call (30 min) — walk doc + scope. (6) CTA: $9k sprint. Conversion: 15 audits → 11 readouts (75%) → 4 closes (35%). Unit Economics: 90 min × 15 = 22.5 hrs/mo; 4 × $9k = $36k MRR added; $/hr = $1,600/hr of agency time.
Pro tips
- The qualification form is the most important step — under-qualify and you burn hours on tire-kickers; the form should kill 50% of fills
- Always book the readout call BEFORE delivering the audit — sending the PDF without a call kills your close rate
- Use AI to draft the audit findings from raw data, then have a strategist red-line — cuts audit time by 60%
