Is Your Marketing Holding You Back? Take This 3-Minute Quiz to Find Out

Hans Oliver • June 13, 2025

If your marketing feels stuck, this quiz will tell you why—and what to do next.

You’ve got a business to run.
Customers to serve.
Goals to hit.

And somewhere in the middle of all that—you’re trying to “figure out marketing.” Maybe you’re piecing things together through freelancers, or maybe you’ve got a small team doing their best. Either way, you know something’s not clicking.

Here’s the truth:
Most business owners don't have a marketing problem—they have a leadership gap.

And that’s exactly why we built this quiz.

The Silent Struggle: Marketing Without a Plan

If you’ve ever thought...

  • “We’re spending money, but I’m not sure it’s working.”
  • “Our leads are unpredictable—we can’t count on them.”
  • “I feel like I’m managing marketers instead of leading the business.”
  • “We’re trying different things, but nothing feels strategic.”


...you’re not alone.


These are signs of a common issue: your marketing efforts are operating without true strategic direction.

Not because you’re doing something wrong—because you're doing too much without a clear plan or the right leadership in place.


You Don’t Need Another Marketing Tool. You Need a Map.

Before you pour more money into ads, redesign your website again, or hire another agency, ask yourself one thing:


Do I have a strategy that connects every piece of my marketing to real business growth?


If you're not 100% sure, then this quiz is for you.


Why This Quiz Exists

The “Do You Need a Fractional CMO?” quiz was built to answer one critical question:


Is your business ready for marketing leadership—without the full-time cost?


In just a few minutes, you'll:

  • Uncover blind spots in your current marketing efforts
  • Find out if your business is outgrowing your current setup
  • Discover whether a Fractional CMO is the right next step
  • Walk away with a clear, honest picture of where you stand


It’s not a sales pitch and you don't have to leave of your contact information to get the results.


It’s a reality check—one that many growing businesses need.


Marketing Without Leadership Is Expensive

When no one is steering the ship, you end up wasting time, burning budget, and spinning your wheels.


A good Fractional CMO doesn’t just “do marketing.” They:

  • Align your marketing with business goals
  • Build systems that generate predictable leads
  • Create clarity around messaging, audience, and positioning
  • Give your team direction, accountability, and focus


If any part of your marketing feels messy, reactive, or disconnected—it’s time to find out if you need help at the top.

You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint. So why are you still asking AI for help without giving it a solid plan? Here’s the truth most people haven’t caught onto yet: AI isn’t magic. It’s a mirror. What you put in is what you get out. If your prompts sound like: | “Write me a blog post about SEO” …you’re going to get generic, surface-level fluff. But if your prompt says: | “Write a 500-word blog post targeting small business owners. Make it conversational, use real examples, and end with a CTA to download our free SEO checklist.” Now we’re in business. Literally.
