Home AI-Readiness Self-Audit Toolkit
Your toolkit

Find out where you
stand. And where they do.

In about twenty minutes, you’ll know exactly where your marketing ranks against your competitors — and how fast you need to move to catch them, or stay ahead. The prompt scores all of you across the five things that decide modern B2B marketing, then hands you a scoreboard and your priorities. You run it yourself. Below is everything: how to use it, what it measures, the prompt to copy, and how to read your result.

How to use it

Three moves. Then read your score.

1

Open your AI

ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. If it can browse the web, even better.

2

Paste the prompt

Copy the prompt below, drop in your website, your tech stack, and 3–4 competitors, and send it.

3

Read your audit

You’ll get a score per dimension, an overall verdict out of 25, and your top three priorities.

What it measures

Five dimensions of a real operation.

Score honestly. The point is to see clearly, not to feel good.

1

Narrative & positioning

Is there a clear, differentiated category story — or generic “we help businesses grow”? Strong: an AI could write on-brand content straight from your site. Weak: every page sounds like your competitors.

2

Content, SEO & GEO

Is content built on a strategy and structured to be found by search and by AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews)? Strong: you show up where buyers ask. Weak: sporadic posts nobody finds.

3

HubSpot & RevOps

Is your CRM and automation set up so marketing and sales share data, score leads, and measure pipeline? Strong: the system tells you what’s working. Weak: manual, leaky, and nobody trusts the numbers.

4

Outreach

Is there a repeatable, personalized outbound motion across LinkedIn and email? Strong: a steady engine. Weak: occasional blasts when pipeline runs dry.

5

Analytics & OKRs

Can you tie marketing to pipeline and revenue against clear goals? Strong: every activity ladders to a number that matters. Weak: traffic and likes.

The prompt

Copy this into ChatGPT or Claude.

Replace the bracketed parts — your site, your stack, and the competitors you want to measure yourself against — then send. That’s the whole audit.

You are a senior B2B marketing operations strategist with 20+ years building and running marketing departments for global B2B companies. Audit how ready my company is to run an AI-powered marketing operation — a system of AI agents orchestrated by a senior operator — AND benchmark me against my competitors, so I know whether I am ahead or behind and how fast I need to move. MY COMPANY – Website: [paste your URL] – What we sell, and to whom: [one line] – Current stack: [CRM, marketing automation, analytics, content/SEO tools — whatever you use] MY COMPETITORS (name 3-4)[Competitor 1 — website][Competitor 2 — website][Competitor 3 — website][Competitor 4, optional — website] HOW TO WORK If you can browse the web, open every site — mine and each competitor’s — and review the homepage, the main product or solution pages, and the blog or resources. If you cannot browse, ask me to paste the key pages first. Judge competitors only on what is publicly visible, and say clearly when you are inferring. SCORE EVERY COMPANY ON 5 DIMENSIONS (1-5 each) 1. Narrative & positioning — clear, differentiated category story, or generic? Could an AI write on-brand content from the site? 2. Content, SEO & GEO — built on strategy and structured to be found by search AND by AI answer engines? Or sporadic and invisible? 3. HubSpot / RevOps — set up so marketing and sales share data, score leads, and measure pipeline? (For competitors, infer from public signals: forms, live chat, gated content, hiring.) 4. Outreach — a repeatable, personalized outbound motion (LinkedIn + email)? Or one-off blasts? 5. Analytics & OKRs — marketing tied to pipeline and revenue against clear goals? (Mostly inferred for competitors.) GIVE ME BACK 1. A one-line verdict: am I ahead, level, or behind — and how urgently I need to move. 2. A comparison table: dimension | me | each competitor | who leads. 3. Overall scores out of 25 for me and every competitor, ranked, and what my band means: 20-25 ready to scale with AI; 12-19 fix the foundation first; below 12 start with narrative and measurement. 4. The 2-3 places a competitor is clearly ahead of me, and what they are doing that I am not. 5. My top 3 priorities to close the gap, in order, each tagged how fast it matters: now / this quarter / this year. 6. A blunt runway read: if I do nothing, how long before the gap becomes hard to close? 7. Where would a 25-agent marketing operation move the needle fastest for me, given this competition? Be specific and direct. No flattery. Give me the version a sharp operator would tell me over coffee — including the uncomfortable parts.

Tip: if your AI can’t browse, paste your homepage and a key product page when it asks.

What you’ll get back

A scoreboard, not a participation trophy.

When the prompt finishes, you get a ranking like this — you against every competitor you named, dimension by dimension.

Read your number

What your overall score actually means.

20–25 · Ready

The foundation is there. AI agents will compound what’s already working — this is where speed becomes a real advantage.

12–19 · Fix first

Promising, but AI would amplify what’s broken. Repair the weak dimensions before you scale, or you’ll just produce noise faster.

Below 12 · Foundations

Start with narrative and measurement. Until those are solid, no tool — AI or otherwise — will move the number that matters.

Your own number is half the story. The gap is the other half — a 16 is fine until your sharpest competitor is a 22.

Got your score?

Now get the human read.

The prompt scores you. A senior operator can tell you what to do about it — what’s worth fixing first, what to ignore, and whether AI changes your trajectory this year. We take on three new partnerships at a time. If your audit raised the right questions, let’s talk.
