There are plenty of reasons we need to perform quarterly audits of our Pardot (MCAE) accounts. For example:
- To make sure any third-party marketing systems, your CRM, and Pardot are talking to each other correctly and avoid technical mistakes.
- So you can set up the right folder structure for easy access to Campaign reporting and easy implementation of scoring categories.
- To create a visual of your customers’ automated journey including entry and exit points, campaign crossover, and opportunities to improve.
- For reviewing and improving how leads are managed i.e. when they become sales-qualified and the processes for handing over to the sales team.
- To sense check that your scoring and grading models are still robust as your business grows and strategies evolve.
- So you can maintain a clean database that is accurate and healthy i.e. without duplicate prospects or including cold or inaccurate data points.
- To ensure you are GDPR compliant, again this comes back to database management but also how you capture and market to leads.
- To maintain a tidy and organised Pardot account
- To uncover new opportunities to use your Pardot automation tool for improved lead generation and nurture.
