Signs Your Pardot Needs a Second Look

If one of these sounds familiar, the audit shows you why, and what to fix first.

  • Features You Pay For but Don’t Use. Dynamic content, scoring and Engagement Studio sit idle while your team builds everything by hand.
  • A Double Opt-In That Fails Quietly. Confirmation emails don’t go out or don’t record consent, so your list grows without the proof GDPR asks for.
  • A Broken Salesforce Integration. Sync errors and field mappings that overwrite each other, so sales and marketing look at different numbers.

What the Pardot Audit Checks

We go through your Pardot setup piece by piece: tracking, automations, data, the Salesforce sync, forms and emails.

Verdict

A solid base, three fixes first

Pardot runs and the Salesforce sync works. Scoring and two field mappings cost you leads and trust in your reports.

Edition
Pardot Plus, Sales Cloud Enterprise
Prospects
48,000, a fifth inactive
Engagement Studio
23 programs, 9 active
Scoring
One model from 2021, no decay

Fix first, in this order

  1. Fix the two field mappings that overwrite Salesforce. Industry and lead source sync the wrong way, so sales sees older values from Pardot.

  2. Rebuild scoring with decay. Points hardly ever go down, so leads from 2022 still count as hot. Add decay and agree on the threshold with sales.

  3. Archive the 14 programs that don’t run. They still hold prospects in steps nobody watches.

Also found

  • 1,200 prospects without an opt-in record, all from one old import.
  • Three forms that don’t add anyone to a Salesforce campaign.
  • Twelve users with admin rights they don’t need.

Excerpt. Your action plan covers every area we check.

Who the Audit Is For

  • Teams who inherited Pardot and need to know what’s there.
  • Teams before a bigger project, like a rebuild or a move, who want a clear starting point.
  • Teams whose partner left halfway and who need an honest picture.

  • Fully Functional Setup – Fast

    We had Pardot but lacked a clear path and the experience to make the most of it. The package gave us clarity on what we actually needed and best practices for how to do it. Implementation was fast, and we quickly had a fully functional setup.

    ConvertPilot became one of my go-to contacts to discuss actionable marketing strategies and tactics. As the CEO of a venture-backed tech company, growing fast is mandatory. I know they are the right business to reach out to if you need help and advice for fast-paced marketing growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your question isn’t here? Ask us directly.

Is this the same as a Pardot health check?

It goes deeper. Our free Pardot health check gives you a first score in a few minutes; the audit checks your whole setup and ends with a written action plan.

What does the audit cost?

$1,300, fixed. It’s credited in full against any package you book with us within 90 days.

Do you change anything in our Pardot?

No. We work with read-only access, so nothing in your org changes.

Can you fix what you find?

Yes. We quote the fixes as a package or as Pardot consulting, and the audit fee is credited in full within 90 days.

We’re planning Marketing Cloud Next. Do we need the audit?

Usually the Readiness Check fits better: it looks at your licence, Data 360 and what the move takes.

Do you also audit Marketing Cloud Next?

Yes. Few teams run it yet, so we agree on the scope with you first. Get in touch.
