Transform Your Expertise Into Lead-Generating Assessment Tools
Your agency has frameworks, methodologies, and evaluation processes that consistently deliver results for clients. WithSeismic helps you package that expertise into interactive assessment tools that work 24/7—qualifying prospects, demonstrating value, and generating leads while you sleep.What Are Agency Assessment Tools?
Assessment tools are interactive products that guide prospects through your evaluation frameworks, providing them with valuable insights while showcasing your expertise. Instead of manually conducting the same discovery process with every prospect, your assessment tool does it automatically. Common Assessment Tool Types:- Business Maturity Assessments - Evaluate where companies stand in their growth journey
- Digital Readiness Audits - Assess a company’s technology stack and digital capabilities
- Marketing Performance Reviews - Analyze current marketing efforts and identify opportunities
- Security Vulnerability Scans - Evaluate cybersecurity posture and compliance gaps
- Process Efficiency Evaluations - Identify operational bottlenecks and improvement areas
- Strategy Alignment Checks - Assess how well current initiatives align with business goals
How WithSeismic Builds Assessment Tools
Step 1: Framework Analysis We work with your team to document the questions, criteria, and decision trees you use when evaluating client situations. What makes a good prospect? What red flags do you look for? How do you prioritize recommendations? Step 2: Interactive Design We transform your framework into an engaging, multi-step experience. Users answer questions, receive immediate feedback, and get progressively more invested in the process as they move through your assessment. Step 3: Intelligent Scoring We build sophisticated scoring algorithms that mirror your expert judgment. The tool doesn’t just collect answers—it interprets them using your methodology to provide meaningful insights and recommendations. Step 4: Value-Driven Results Every assessment concludes with a comprehensive report that demonstrates your expertise while identifying specific opportunities for improvement. Users receive genuine value while you capture qualified leads.Key Features We Build Into Every Assessment Tool
