Customers cannot choose a business they do not remember.
Recognition is built through repeated, consistent experiences. Every time someone sees your website, social media, photography, signage, emails or content, they are learning something about your business.
This tool helps you assess whether those moments are working together.
It does not measure whether your branding is trendy.
It does not judge whether your logo is clever.
It measures something more useful:
Is your business becoming easier to recognise, remember and recall?
You'll be guided through five areas that influence recognition:
- Visual Identity
- Consistency
- Visibility
- Distinctiveness
- Recognition
Each section helps you understand where your business is building familiarity and where inconsistency may be making it easier to forget.
There are no perfect scores.
The aim is to discover what your business is repeatedly teaching people to remember.
Ready?
The interactive assessment below takes around 10–15 minutes to complete.
Open your website, social media profiles, Google Business Profile and any recent marketing materials.
Then work through each section honestly.
The assessment begins below.
