When was the last time you did a brand audit?
If you’re like most small business owners, you’ve likely evolved in the last year—maybe you’ve changed your services, expanded your audience, or refined your message. But if your brand hasn’t kept up, you could be missing out on connecting with the right people. This post walks you through a simple brand audit checklist to help you identify what’s working, what needs a refresh, and how to align your brand for the season ahead.
✅ 1: Is Your Logo Still Doing Its Job?
A successful logo should be versatile, modern, and reflect your current brand identity. If your logo doesn’t scale well, looks pixelated online, or feels outdated, it might be time to update it.
💡 Audit Tip: Review your logo across mobile, social, and print. Does it still look sharp and professional?
✅ 2: Are Your Colors and Fonts Consistent?
Color psychology and typography play a huge role in how your audience perceives you. If your palette or fonts feel off-brand, outdated, or inconsistent across platforms, it’s worth reviewing them.
💡 Audit Tip: Use tools like Coolors or Google Fonts to test new combinations that still align with your brand feel.
✅ Step 3: Does Your Messaging Still Reflect Your Purpose?
Your brand voice is just as important as your visuals. If your tagline, about section, or homepage copy doesn’t feel like you anymore—or doesn’t clearly explain what you do—this is your sign to update it.
💡 Audit Tip: Visit your homepage and About page. Ask: “Does this sound like me? Does this speak to the person I’m trying to reach?”

✅ Step 4: Is Your Website User-Friendly and On-Brand?
A proper brand audit includes your website’s design, structure, and content. If it’s cluttered, confusing, or off-brand, visitors will click away. Make sure it reflects your current services and is easy to navigate.
💡 Audit Tip: Use a tool like Hotjar to see how people are using your site and where they’re dropping off.
✅ Step 5: Are Your Touchpoints Consistent?
Your branding doesn’t stop at your website. Your email signature, social profiles, Google Business listing, business cards, and Canva templates should all feel cohesive.
💡 Audit Tip: Create a checklist of all your branded platforms and update one per day or week.
Why a Brand Audit Is Worth Your Time
Your brand is more than a logo—it’s the story people remember about you. Doing a regular brand audit ensures that your visuals, voice, and vibe are all working together to attract and convert the right audience.
And it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Even small updates can make a big impact.
