Raising the Digital Bar

Quick Answer

Raising the Digital Bar is a book by David Esau, founder of Click Track Marketing, about how small and mid-sized businesses get found online and measure whether their marketing actually produces customers. This page holds the companion resources: a free Online Visibility Score that grades your business 0–100, the calculators referenced in the book, the AEO checklist, and a way to reach the author directly.

If you have the book in your hands, start with the visibility score — it turns the chapters into a ranked list of what to fix first, specific to your business.
