I second the comments here about wondering what an "audit" does here. I have no idea what it means to "audit" my Google Analytics accounts. The other thing is: I have no idea who you are, so why would I hand over my Google Analytics information to you? You have a client list, but no general "about" page, no information about your team, etc.

I agree. Note that the Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn links are wrong. A bit odd for a company that has been around for 3 years, isn't it? In its current form, I wouldn't trust this one bit. EDIT: I see from an above comment that it's a new product. Fine. Still: work on your credibility if you don't want to be confused for a phishing attempt. EDIT2: For anyone wondering, it's definitely legit, see the added LinkedIn…

You're right, thank you for the feedback. It slipped through since I just made this new site last week. I am a web analyst and not a phisher but I see how it looks suspicious -- I'm editing the links now!

Just tried it, seems legit and gives a couple of good suggestions. @thatsnice why don't you explain the things your tool checks on the home page like it's explained after I connect a GA account?

Thanks, filipm. It's interesting, the intro page does actually list all the things it audits in the box that says Site Settings, Goals and Funnels, Site Search, Campaign Tracking, etc. Did you not see that (perhaps because it's below the fold) or was it just not clear enough?
