BrandUnder vs traditional brand audits
A traditional brand audit is a broad strategic review, often including interviews, market research and workshops. BrandUnder focuses on one question: how clearly is the brand understood through its digital presence?
| Aspect | BrandUnder | Traditional brand audit |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | The public digital presence: website, structure, search and AI readiness. | Often broader: internal culture, customers, competitors, offline touchpoints. |
| Speed | About a minute for the free analysis. | Typically weeks. |
| Evidence | Every finding tied to the exact words or code it came from. | Depends on the method and the auditor. |
| Repeatability | Re-analyze any time and compare before and after. | Usually a one-off project. |
| Strategic judgement | Does not replace it. Interpretation stays with you or your advisors. | Central to the work. |
