Questions about this whitepaper
When should I use the digital due-diligence checklist?
Before you sign. The 12 questions surface gaps in the website, Google Business Profile, tracking and account ownership that affect value and your first-year plan, so you can price them in or plan around them.
What happens in the first 100 days?
You secure every digital asset in your name, fix the listings and tracking that cost leads today, then modernize the website and customer experience. The playbook sequences the work so early wins fund later ones.
Is this legal, tax or investment advice?
No. It is an operational and marketing playbook. Work with your attorney, accountant and advisors on deal terms; we work alongside them on the digital side.
