Bendigo, Victoria. Bendigo Graphics today introduced a free brand check for local businesses. Send us your business name and website, and our team will look over your Google listing, your website and your brand, then send back a plain-English report with the first things worth fixing.
It costs nothing and there is no catch in the fine print. It is a way to see your business the way a new customer does, from a team that looks at local businesses every day. Most owners know their own business too well to see it fresh, and a second look from outside is often the quickest way to find what a customer trips over.
What we look at
A new customer usually meets your business in one of three places before they ever walk in or call, and the brand check covers all three:
Your Google listing. The Google profile that shows up when someone searches your name or your trade.
Your website. Whether it tells people what you do and how to reach you. Our small business website checklist explains what we mean.
Your brand. How your name, logo and colours hold together from one place to the next.
We look at each one the way a customer would: on a phone, often in a hurry, deciding whether to call you or the next business on the list.
A plain-English report
The report is written for a business owner, not a marketing manager. No jargon and no long list of everything that could ever be improved. It starts with the first things worth fixing, so you know where to spend your time and money first.
Good to know: our staff review every report before it is sent. A person in Bendigo reads what we are about to tell you, the same way a person checks every proof before anything is printed.
A free customer portal account to read it in
Your report arrives in a free customer portal account, the same place our Marketing Plan clients see their marketing. You can read it on your phone and come back to it whenever you are ready to make a start.

Why it matters
City agencies often charge for an audit, and they write it for a business with a marketing department. Most businesses in Central Victoria do not have one. They have an owner who suspects something is off with their listing or their website but has never had the time to check. Because the report comes from a local team, it is about your business and your town, not a generic score.
The brand check is the first step we can offer that owner for free. If the report shows work worth doing, you can do it yourself with our guides, such as the Google Business Profile checklist, or talk to us about Marketing Plans. Either way, you will know where you stand.
Availability
The free brand check is open now to local businesses. Start from our marketing page with your business name and website, and see what your report will look like on the customer portal page.
