Where you already show up

Channels we found under your name — the raw material for your authority machine.

GCT — goals · content · targeting

Questions for you, Courtney

Answer these and your audit sharpens from good to precise. These are the gaps where your goals, content focus, or target audience weren’t fully clear to us.

1

My Checklist Marketing — what is it, exactly?

Is My Checklist Marketing an active business or a name you're planning to use? What services do you offer under it, and have you had any paying clients?

2

mychecklistmarketing.com is down

Do you own mychecklistmarketing.com? Is a website in development, or have you not built it yet? What's your website timeline?

3

LinkedIn is non-vanity URL and no About text

Your LinkedIn URL is a default numeric ID. Have you claimed a vanity URL? Do you have an About/summary section written?

4

No social profiles found

Are you active on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok? If so, under what handles? If not, is that intentional or just not started yet?

5

Trinity Sales & Rental vs. freelance

Is your Marketing Manager role at Trinity full-time, part-time, or contract? How does it relate to your freelance work — are you building My Checklist Marketing on the side?

6

Real estate + marketing: synergy or split?

Do you position your marketing expertise as a selling point for real estate clients, or do you keep the two businesses separate? There's a strong personal brand story in "a marketer who sells homes."

7

No certifications listed

Do you hold any marketing certifications (Google, Meta Blueprint, HubSpot, etc.)? These would be easy credibility wins for a marketing practitioner.

8

Checklist / systems niche

The "checklist" branding implies a systems-oriented approach. Is that intentional? What does your marketing system/methodology actually look like? This could be a strong content and IP pillar.
