You Can’t Build What You Don’t Understand
Before a single design mock-up or PPC campaign is created, one thing must come first: discovery.
At Websi, we believe that discovery and research aren’t optional — they’re essential. Without it, you risk building a website or launching marketing campaigns based on assumptions, not insight.
We combine data, conversation, and competitor research to ensure every project is informed, aligned, and set up for success.
What Websi Covers in Discovery & Research
Our research phase is built to uncover opportunities, clarify direction, and guide our design and marketing decisions.
Key components of our process:
- Industry Research
We explore your space, trends, and language — identifying what your audience expects and where your competitors are investing. - Competitor Analysis
We audit competitor websites, ads, SEO tactics and brand positioning to uncover gaps and advantages. - Analytics Deep-Dive
If you have Google Analytics or other tools installed, we’ll study what’s working, what isn’t, and what to optimise first. - Audience & Persona Development
We help you define who your ideal customers are, what they care about, and how your brand should speak to them. - Internal Stakeholder Interviews
We talk to you and your team — the people who know the business best — to gather insight into real-world goals and challenges.
What Happens Without Discovery?
Skipping this step leads to costly misfires and missed opportunities:
- Websites built without a clear value proposition
- Targeting the wrong keywords or audiences
- Marketing campaigns based on hunches
- Design decisions made for aesthetics, not users
- Inefficient spend on SEO or PPC with no data to back it up
It’s like building a house without checking the ground first.
Top 5 Reasons Discovery Saves Time and Money
- Prevents Wrong Turns
Catching misalignment early avoids expensive rework later in the project. - Reveals Audience Insight
Understanding what your customers need makes your content, design and messaging far more effective.
