Thirty minutes with a founder.Three fixes in writing.

Before we speak we look at your site, what Google and ChatGPT say when your buyers ask who to use, where your firm is talked about, and two competitors. You leave with the three things we would fix first, in writing. It is free, and you can stop there.

Sent the day before: a one-page snapshot of what we found.

What is a Growth Review?

A free 30-minute call with David Adams, co-founder of Fortitude Media, for founder-led B2B firms with £1m to £20m+ revenue, where the founder still decides. Beforehand we score your firm on five lenses: Found, Named by AI, Website, Authority and Pipeline. Afterwards you get the three highest-value fixes in writing. There is no obligation to go further.

The day before we speak

One page. What we found.

If you want the whole list

The Paid Discovery.

Every finding under all five lenses, ranked, with the fix written so your own team could ship it. One week, £499, credited against anything you do with us afterwards, and yours to keep either way. Ten chapters, about twenty-five pages.

Questions founders ask

The short answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no contract, and no obligation to go further.

Who is it for?

Founder-led B2B firms with £1m to £20m+ revenue, where the founder still decides.

What do I need to prepare?

One service you want to grow and two competitors. We do the rest.

How do I book?

Pick a time in David's diary on this page and the invitation lands in your diary at once. If you would rather write than book, send us a note instead and David replies within one working day.

What is the difference between this and the Paid Discovery?

The Growth Review gives you five scores and the three fixes we would make first. The Paid Discovery gives you every finding under all five lenses, ranked, with each fix written out.

Do you work on results?

We will consider it for programmes where we agree the number up front and can measure it ourselves. Ask on the call.

What happens afterwards?

You get three fixes in writing. If you want the whole list, the Paid Discovery is £499. If you want a plan, the Growth Plan is £1,500. Both are credited against a programme. You can stop after any of them.
