The 5-Minute Authority Audit™

Diagnose the hidden gaps quietly costing you influence, trust, and opportunities — in under five minutes.

 

If you’re a founder, expert, coach, nonprofit leader, or academy director, you already know your content matters.
What you probably don’t know is how much authority you’re leaving on the table because your visibility engine isn’t working the way it could.

This quick diagnostic reveals:

  • How your content actually performs as an authority-builder

  • Where your visibility is breaking down

  • Whether your brand looks as premium as your work

  • How close (or far) you are from consistent, scalable authority

What You’ll Walk Away With

  1. By the end of this audit, you’ll know:

    • Your current Authority Level
      Whether you’re operating as an Industry Ghost, Hidden Authority, Emerging Authority, or Authority Architect.

    • Where your authority engine is leaking
      Which of the four pillars — Signal, System, Presence, or Perception — is costing you the most.

    • Why your content isn’t creating the opportunities it should
      And whether the problem is consistency, quality, positioning, or systemization.

    • Exactly what to fix first
      So you can stop guessing and start making strategic, high-leverage changes.

    • How a done-for-you Authority Engine could work for you
      Without turning you into a full-time content manager.

Why This Actually Matters

Content isn’t just about posting more.
For leaders like you, it’s about:

  • Being seen as the safest, most credible choice

  • Building trust at scale

  • Attracting better clients, donors, students, or partners

  • Documenting the work you’re already doing at a higher level

Right now, there’s a good chance:

  • People with less experience than you are getting more attention

  • Your content looks more “DIY” than “industry leader”

  • You’re relying on bursts of motivation instead of a real system

This isn’t about working harder. It’s about finally seeing where your authority engine is breaking — and fixing it with the right system.

What Happens After the Audit?

Once you’ve seen your Authority Level and quadrant scores, you’ll have two choices:

  • Keep trying to fix things piece by piece on your own

  • Or install a proven, done-for-you Authority Engine that turns one 4–6 hour studio day into a full month of authority-building content

The 5-Minute Authority Audit™ is the exact framework we use inside APS (Authority Podcast System) to evaluate and scale our clients’ visibility.
If your results show you’re ready for a system, you’ll have the option to book a short Visibility Strategy Session to see if APS is a fit.

No pressure. No hard pitch. Just clarity and options.
