It finds the places that contradict each other and the places that still tell the story you've moved on from. - The audit only works if there's a clear reference to check against. Kite starts from the positioning, products, pricing, and brand rules in your team's knowledge base, and it compares archived versions of your website to tell your old story apart from the new one. - Kite collects your live surfaces itself. It reads your website page by page, looks up the ads your company is running on Google, Meta, and LinkedIn from your website address, and reads your public social profiles and listings. - Every finding comes with the exact text, where it lives, and a rewrite. Kite ranks the findings by how many people see each one, so the pricing page and the ads with the most spend come before an old blog post. - Kite publishes the website fixes on a site it hosts or through a connected content system such as Webflow, hands your team the ad and profile rewrites ready to use, and can check your surfaces again on a schedule so the story stays consistent. ## What is a messaging consistency audit, and why does messaging drift? A messaging consistency audit is a check of everything your company says about itself in public, held up against what you want it to say now. Most companies never decide to say contradictory things. The homepage gets rewritten after a repositioning, but the pricing page, the ads, and the LinkedIn profile were written by different people at different times, and nobody goes back to update all of them at once. A year later, a buyer can click a Google ad that promises one thing, land on a page that promises another, and then read a third description on your G2 profile. That kind of drift usually shows up in four ways: - **The old story is still live.** You used to sell bookkeeping software to freelancers, and now you sell it to small agencies. The homepage says agencies, but an ad, a landing page, and the About page still say freelancers. - **Two surfaces disagree.** The homepage says you have 2,000 customers, the About page says 1,500, and a sales one-pager says 3,000. None of them says which number is current. - **A fact changed and only some places caught up.** A plan was renamed, a price went up, or a product was retired, and the old name still appears in a pricing table, an FAQ, or a marketplace listing. - **The brand looks different from place to place.** An old logo is still on an ad image, a social banner uses last year's colors, or one listing still uses the previous tagline. Each of these costs you something. A buyer who sees two stories trusts both of them less. An ad that promises the old product sends people to a page that no longer matches what they clicked on. And AI answer engines read your pages and listings too, so an old description that's still public can keep showing up when people ask about you. The hardest part of an audit isn't finding differences. It's knowing which version is right. Without a written reference, an audit turns into a long list of mismatches, and someone has to decide which version wins every single time. A useful audit settles the current story first, then checks every surface against it, then writes the fix for each one. That's a lot of careful reading and rewriting, and it suits an AI agent well, because an agent can read every page, ad, and profile you have, compare each line against the same reference, and write the rewrites in one pass. Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. Here's how it audits your messaging and fixes what it finds. ## How Kite audits your messaging for consistency Kite starts with the reference. When you signed up, it researched your company and wrote down your positioning, products, pricing, brand voice, and visual identity in your team's knowledge base. It uses that as the current version of your story, and it reads archived copies of your website to see what your story used to be, so it can tell an old message from a simple inconsistency. Next, Kite gathers every public place your company describes itself. That includes the pages on your website, the ads you're running, your social profiles, and your listings on marketplaces and review sites. It reads each one and compares every claim against the reference: what you are, who it's for, what it costs, what it's called, and how it looks. Then Kite writes up what it found. Each finding quotes the exact line, names where it lives, says which version is current, and comes with a rewrite. Kite puts the findings in order by how many people see each surface, then publishes the fixes it can make itself and gives your team the rest, ready to use. After the fixes ship, Kite can run the same check again on a schedule, so the next repositioning doesn't leave half your marketing behind. ### Settle what your messaging says now Kite checks your surfaces against one written version of your story, because an audit without a reference can only tell you that two things differ, not which one to fix. That reference lives in your team's knowledge base. It holds your positioning, your products and plan names, your pricing, the way you describe your customers, your brand voice, and your visual identity, including your logo, colors, and fonts. Kite also works out what your old story was. It can read archived versions of your website to see how your homepage, product pages, and positioning have changed over time. If the homepage said "bookkeeping for freelancers" until last spring and "bookkeeping for small agencies" since then, Kite now knows that every remaining mention of freelancers is the old story, not just a different word choice. If you've repositioned recently, tell Kite what changed and why. It records the old and new versions side by side, so the audit and all of Kite's later writing use the new one. If your messaging has never been written down in one place, Kite can build that first. Build a messaging framework for each buyer (coming soon) covers that work, and the audit then checks everything against the framework. ### Collect every place your company describes itself Kite builds the list of surfaces to audit itself, so the audit covers the places your team has forgotten about as well as the ones it remembers. Most outdated messaging hides in pages and ads nobody has opened in a year. Kite gathers: - **Your website.** It reads the homepage, product and pricing pages, the About page, FAQs, landing pages from past campaigns, and older blog posts. On sites built with JavaScript, it renders each page the way a browser would and takes screenshots, so it sees the copy and images a visitor actually sees. - **Your ads.** Kite's built-in ad research can look up the ads a company is running on Google, Meta, and LinkedIn from its website address alone, with the copy, images, video, landing pages, and run dates. That shows Kite every ad running under your name, including ones your team launched long ago and forgot about. If you connect your Google Ads, Meta Ads, or LinkedIn Ads account, Kite also reads the ads inside it and how much each one spends. - **Your social profiles.** Kite reads the bios, taglines, and descriptions on your public company profiles. - **Your listings.** Marketplace listings, app store pages, and review-site profiles often carry the oldest description of your company, because someone filled them in once at launch. - **Your own documents.** In the Kite web app, you can upload sales decks, one-pagers, and other PDFs, and Kite checks those too. ### Find the contradictions and the old story Kite compares every claim on every surface with the reference, line by line, and records each mismatch with the exact text and where it lives. It checks the claims that matter most to a buyer: - what the product is and what category it belongs to - who it's for - the main promise and the proof behind it, such as customer counts or results - product names, plan names, and prices - the tagline and the call to action - the logo, colors, and fonts on pages, ad images, and profile banners Here's what that looks like for the bookkeeping company that moved from freelancers to small agencies. Kite might come back with findings like these: - The pricing page headline still reads "Simple bookkeeping for freelancers," while the homepage now says "Bookkeeping built for small agencies." This is the old story, and it sits on the page most buyers read right before deciding. - A Google ad that has run for eight months says "Invoicing and taxes for freelancers" and sends people to a 2024 landing page that tells the same old story. Both the ad and the page are out of date. - The homepage says "trusted by 2,000 teams," and the About page says "1,500 customers." This is a contradiction between two current pages, and Kite asks you which number is right before it rewrites either one. - The company's Meta ad image still uses the previous logo. - The G2 profile describes the product as "the freelancer's back office," while the LinkedIn company page uses the new agency positioning. Kite labels each finding by the kind of problem it is, because each kind gets fixed differently. Old-story findings get rewritten to the current story. Contradictions between two current claims need a decision about which is true, so Kite asks you when the evidence doesn't settle it. Outdated facts, such as an old plan name, get corrected to what's in your knowledge base. ### Decide which fixes matter most Kite puts the findings in order by how many people see each one, so your team fixes the pages and ads that shape the most first impressions before anything else. A contradiction on your pricing page reaches far more buyers than one buried in a three-year-old blog post. Kite uses the information it has about each surface to rank them: - **Ad spend and results.** With a connected ad account, Kite sees how much each ad spends and how often it's shown, so an outdated ad that spends every day goes near the top. - **Page traffic.** On a website Kite hosts, it uses its built-in analytics to see which pages get the most visitors. For a site measured elsewhere, it reads traffic through your connected analytics product. - **Where the surface sits in the path to buying.** The homepage, pricing page, and the landing pages your ads point to come before pages a buyer rarely reaches. Some old pages shouldn't be rewritten at all. If a 2023 landing page for a campaign that ended still gets search traffic, Kite might recommend redirecting it to the current page instead. The ranked list tells you what to fix first, and it's short enough to act on this week. ### Rewrite each one and ship the fixes Kite writes a rewrite for every finding, in your brand voice and in the form each surface needs, then ships the fixes it can make and hands your team the rest. A homepage headline, a Google ad headline, and a LinkedIn bio all need different lengths, so Kite writes each rewrite to fit its place. Ad copy for Google, Meta, and LinkedIn is checked against each platform's character limits before you see it. Where each fix goes depends on where the surface lives: - **A website Kite hosts.** Kite makes the changes, shows you a preview, and publishes them together once you approve. It can also set up redirects from old pages to current ones. - **A website on Webflow or another content system.** Kite writes the corrected copy into the content behind each page through your connected Webflow, Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok, or self-hosted Payload account, or into an imported GitHub repository. Changes go live once you approve them. - **Google and Meta ads.** Kite reads your connected accounts and delivers the replacement ads as a reviewed batch, along with the old ad each one replaces. Your team swaps them in through Google Ads or Meta Ads Manager. - **LinkedIn ads.** With a connected LinkedIn Ads account, Kite builds the replacement ads into a new draft campaign. A team owner or admin launches it from Kite, and Kite can pause the old ad on its own, because pausing only stops spending. - **Social profiles and listings.** Kite writes the new bio, tagline, or description ready to paste in, with the old text beside it so you can see what changed. Kite shows you each change before it goes live. You approve it with the Publish button or a reply, in the Kite web app or in Slack. ### Keep your messaging consistent after the audit Kite keeps the story consistent after the audit by writing all new work from the same reference and by checking your surfaces again on a schedule. Messaging drifts again every time someone launches a campaign or updates a page in a hurry, so a single audit only holds for a few months. Every piece of work Kite writes afterward, whether it's a landing page, an ad, a social post, or an email, starts from the positioning and brand rules in your knowledge base. That stops new drift at the source. You can also ask Kite to repeat the audit every quarter, or right after your next repositioning, and it reports only what has changed since the last one. If there are a few pages your team edits often, such as the pricing page, Kite can keep a watch on them and tell you in Slack when their wording changes. ## What you get - **A written reference for your current story.** Your positioning, product and plan names, pricing, and brand rules in one place, with your old story recorded beside it so the difference is clear. - **A list of every surface Kite checked.** The pages, ads, social profiles, listings, and documents in the audit, so you can see what was covered. - **A findings report.** For each finding, Kite gives the exact text, where it lives, whether it's the old story, a contradiction, or an outdated fact, and which version is current. - **A ranked fix list.** The findings in order of how many people see each surface, starting with the pages and ads that matter most. - **A rewrite for every finding.** Each one is written in your brand voice and sized for its surface, whether that's a page headline, an ad, or a profile bio. - **The fixes themselves.** Kite publishes the approved website changes and gives your team the ad, profile, and listing rewrites ready to use. ## How to get started Tell Kite what you want in plain language. You might write, "We repositioned in March. Find every page and ad that still tells the old story," or "Check that our website, ads, and social profiles all say the same thing." You can work with Kite in the web app or in Slack. Kite starts from what it already knows about your company. It shows you the current story it will audit against and the old story it found, so you can correct either one before it starts. It then collects your surfaces, runs the audit, and comes back with the ranked findings and a rewrite for each one. You don't need to connect anything for the first audit, because Kite reads your website, your public ads, and your public profiles with its own tools. Connect your Google Ads, Meta Ads, or LinkedIn Ads account when you want Kite to see what each ad spends and include ads it can't find publicly. When you're ready for Kite to publish website fixes, connect the system your website runs on, or let Kite build and host the site for you. ## Integrations used to audit your messaging Kite finds your website pages, public ads, and profiles with its own built-in research, so the audit can run before you connect anything. Connecting your ad accounts shows Kite which ads spend the most and lets it work inside them. Connecting your content system lets Kite publish the website fixes itself. ### Find the ads that still tell the old story - [Google Ads + Kite](/integrations/google-ads.md): Kite reads the ads in each ad group and how much each one spends, so it can find the outdated ones that reach the most people. It delivers the replacement ads as a batch checked against Google's character limits for your team to add. - [Meta Ads + Kite](/integrations/meta-ads.md): Kite reads the primary text, headlines, images, and results of your Facebook and Instagram ads, spots the ones with old copy or an old logo, and writes replacement copy and images for your team to upload. - [LinkedIn Ads + Kite](/integrations/linkedin-ads.md): Kite reads your Sponsored Content ads and their performance, builds the corrected ads into a new draft campaign for a team owner or admin to launch, and can pause the outdated ad on its own. ### Publish the website fixes - [Webflow + Kite](/integrations/webflow.md): Kite writes the corrected copy into the Webflow CMS content behind your pages and blog posts, then publishes the site once you approve the changes. ## Common questions ### How often should I run a brand consistency audit? Run one right after any repositioning, rename, price change, or new product launch, because that's when most drift starts. Between those moments, a check every quarter catches the pages and ads that changed in the meantime. Kite can run the audit on a schedule and report only the new findings, so a quarterly check takes minutes to read. ### How do I know the audit's findings are right? Each finding quotes the exact text and names the page, ad, or profile it came from, so you can open it and check it yourself in a few seconds. Kite also says which version it treated as current and why, such as "your homepage and knowledge base both say small agencies." When two current claims disagree and Kite can't tell which is true, like two different customer counts, it asks you rather than picking one. ### What's the difference between a brand audit and a messaging consistency audit? A full brand audit looks at how your brand is perceived, how it compares with competitors, and whether your positioning is the right one. A messaging consistency audit is narrower. It takes your current positioning as settled and checks whether every surface actually says it. Most teams need the consistency audit more often, because positioning changes a few times a year at most, while pages and ads change every week. For a checklist you can run by hand, see our brand audit template (coming soon). ### Can Kite check sales decks, one-pagers, and other documents? Yes. In the Kite web app, you can upload PDFs such as a sales deck or a product one-pager, and Kite checks them against the same reference as your website and ads. In Slack, you can share the file in a thread with Kite. Kite gives you the rewrites for each slide or section, and your team updates the document. ### How much does a messaging audit cost with Kite? The audit is part of the work Kite does on your plan, not a separate project with its own fee. Kite's pricing is per workspace, so adding teammates doesn't change the price. The free plan includes usage, and the Growth plan costs $100 a month with $100 in AI credits included.
