FAQ
Questions about digital customer journey audit services
Independent review of digital scenarios in which an evaluator completes the agreed customer journey and evidences clarity, response time, continuity and channel handoff.
Websites, mobile applications, forms, live chat, email and messaging, within the scope agreed for the audit.
Yes. Fields, error handling, guidance, confirmations and response timing are assessed end to end.
Yes. Context, ownership and case status are checked as the customer moves between channels and teams.
The device and browser list is agreed before testing, based on the client's priority segments and audit objectives.
No. The audit assesses the customer experience of the digital journey and does not constitute accessibility certification. Formal conformance assessment is carried out separately.
No. Security testing and penetration testing are not part of this service. Enquiries are submitted within the agreed boundaries, with no action outside the defined scope.
Yes. A pilot wave validates scenarios, evidence requirements and issue classification before the full scope runs.
Capacity is planned from touchpoint count, device coverage, scenario count and check frequency.
No. A managed mystery-shopping or CX-audit program can provide independent observations, structured evidence, calibrated scoring and recurring insight, but sales, NPS, CSAT and employee-performance outcomes also depend on leadership, staffing, training, product, pricing, systems, market conditions and corrective actions outside the audit team’s control.
