Two owners can each spend $330 at MehyarSoft this week and receive completely different things — and both can be right. That is the honest core of business audit vs consultation: on this site the phrase covers two separate $330 offers that happen to share a price. Audit My Business is a measured, whole-business audit delivered as a written report. The founder-led tech audit is a human review of your website, booking path, and follow-up, built around an intake call with the founder. Same $330, different jobs — compared below exactly as the live site describes each one.
Most sellers use "audit" and "consultation" as loose synonyms for a sales conversation. Here they are two distinct deliverables with different inputs, scope, and clocks — and the /audit/ page itself draws the line in plain words: the measured audit "is NOT the founder-led $330 tech audit."
Business audit vs consultation: the side-by-side
The measured audit — Audit My Business, $330 one-time. You paste your business URL, and the audit runs measured checks of your public site — load, contact paths, trust signals, content — then assesses that evidence together with an optional walkthrough video you record (2–30 minutes, transcribed and assessed; the video and audio are deleted 90 days after report delivery, per the page's video terms). What you receive, by email within 3–5 business days with a permanent link, is a visual report: an overall score, money leaks ranked by dollar impact, the flaws behind them, fixes in priority order, and a map of where better tooling fits. It reads the whole business as your site and walkthrough reveal it — how you sell, book, and follow up included. Payment is by card through Stripe checkout when checkout is open.
The founder-led review — the $330 tech audit, invoiced by email. This one starts with a conversation: an intake call with the founder, then a human review of three things end to end — your website, your booking path, and your follow-up. The published checklist covers your homepage and service message, call-to-action, mobile path, and trust gaps; the booking and contact path (form fields, call and email handoff, confirmations, next-step clarity); and a follow-up and systems map (missed calls, inboxes, customer lists and spreadsheets, reminders, manual retyping). The deliverable is one practical written action plan — the smallest first fix, the next automation worth doing, and whether a larger build is worth scoping — delivered about 3 business days after the intake call. There is no checkout, and no build commitment follows; the plan is yours to use with anyone.
The shortest version: the audit measures and ranks; the consultation-style review walks your intake path with a person and names the smallest next move.
What each one needs from you
The measured audit needs almost nothing scheduled. You run the free scan first (below), decide whether to record the optional walkthrough — two minutes of you narrating how the business runs unlocks the transcript-based findings — and that is the whole input. No call to book, nothing to prepare.
The founder-led review needs your time on one intake call, because its findings depend on how your booking and follow-up actually work behind the website — the parts no outside check can see. Its scope stays deliberately narrow in return: it will not score your whole business or price every leak on every page; that is the other offer's job.
The $0 and $5 steps sit under only one of them
The measured audit has a ladder under it. The free scan is $0, no card: an instant, signal-based analysis that scores your public site from measured checks and names the top money leaks. The Full Report is $5 one-time: the complete written breakdown of that scan — every leak found, priced and ranked. And a $5 Full Report bought first is credited toward the $330 audit when you check out with the same email, so you pay $325 at checkout, with the credit shown before payment. (The ladder math is worked end to end in how much a business audit costs.)
The founder-led review has no ladder — it starts at the intake call. So the free scan is the shared starting point either way: its named leaks are exactly what an intake call will ask about.
Where things stand today, honestly: paid checkouts for both paid audit reports are currently paused while the report engine is restored — no charge can be taken, and a $5 credit already bought stays yours and applies when checkouts reopen. The free scan runs as always — and it is also how you join the queue: at the paused checkout step, "Notify me when checkout opens" saves your email for a single notification when paid reports reopen, and the notify list hears it first. The founder-led review is invoiced by email rather than sold through that checkout.
A worked example: two owners, two right answers
Picture a two-chair barbershop whose owner cannot tell why online bookings stall (a fictional example, in the shape of what these offers examine). The measured route fits him: the free scan names his top leaks, the $5 report prices them — say a booking button that fails on mobile and a confirmation step that never fires — and the $330 audit ranks every leak by dollar impact so he fixes in order, not by guesswork.
Now picture a small clinic whose phones ring out at lunch and whose front desk retypes intake forms by hand. Her problem lives behind the website, in handoffs no outside check can watch. The founder-led review fits her: the intake call surfaces the missed-call pattern, the review maps the follow-up gaps, and the written plan names the smallest first fix before anyone proposes a bigger build. Neither owner bought the wrong $330 — they bought the one pointed at their question. For what the measured audit examines section by section, see what a business audit checks.
Which one fits your question?
Choose the measured audit if your question sounds like: Where is my business losing money, and how much is each leak worth? You want a score, priced leaks, and a priority order across the whole business, and you would rather record a short walkthrough than sit on a call.
Choose the founder-led review if your question sounds like: Something in my website, booking, or follow-up is losing customers — what is the smallest fix I should make first? You want a senior operator to walk the path with you, and a plan that tells you what to defer.
Choose neither yet if you have not run the free scan. It costs $0, takes about a minute, and names your top leaks — enough to tell which $330 question is yours.
Frequently asked questions
Are the two $330 offers the same product at the same price?
No. They are separate offers that share a price: a measured, whole-business audit delivered as a report by email within 3–5 business days, and a founder-led review of website, booking path, and follow-up delivered about 3 business days after an intake call, invoiced by email.
Can I start free before choosing?
Yes. The free scan is $0 with no card, and it runs today even while paid checkouts are paused. Its findings feed either decision — and if you later buy the $5 Full Report and then the $330 measured audit with the same email, the $5 is credited, so the audit checks out at $325.
Which one looks at missed calls and follow-up?
Both touch follow-up, differently. The measured audit assesses how you sell, book, and follow up as revealed by your site and walkthrough. The founder-led review maps follow-up directly — missed calls, inboxes, reminders, manual retyping — as one of its three named areas.
Do I have to commit to a build after either one?
No. The founder-led page says so outright: the plan is a standalone deliverable you own. The measured audit is likewise a report, not a contract.
Start with the scan that costs nothing
Run the free scan at Audit My Business — $0, no card, about a minute — and read your top leaks with names and prices attached. Paid checkouts are paused while the report engine is restored, so no one will take your $330 today; when they reopen, you will already know which $330 question is yours — and your $5 credit, if you bought the Full Report, will be waiting. Then hold your place in line: at the checkout step, join the notify list, and you will be first to hear when paid reports reopen.
