Contentful Health Check

Where Does Your Contentful Actually Stand?

Book a 30-minute call. Tell us roughly how many content types you have, which tier you are on, and which question is the one keeping you up. We will tell you which package fits - and if we think you need neither, we will tell you that instead.

  • 2-3 hrs

    per interviewee. Typically 3-5 people across editorial, marketing and IT.

  • 1 map

    Every content type in your space, mapped: live, orphaned, duplicated - with a proposed target model.

  • A report that is written in two layers - a management layer your board reads in ten minutes, and a technical annex your developers and your implementation partner can argue with.

    • The Scorecard

      Six dimensions, each scored with the evidence behind it. One page that tells you where you stand, with every score traceable to a specific finding.

    • The Content Model Report

      The heart of it. Every content type mapped - what is live, what is orphaned, what duplicates something else, where reference chains run too deep. With a proposed target model and the path to it.

    • The Entitlement and Cost Picture

      Your consumption against your tier - API calls, records, users, locales, environments - with headroom, overage exposure and an honest view on tier fit. A realistic annual saving as a figure, not a percentage.

    • The Prioritised Action List

      Quick wins you can start without us, structural items that need a project, and the things that genuinely do not matter. Sorted by impact and effort.

    • Three Costed Paths (Roadmap)

      Stay and remodel - rebuilt properly, in place. Evolve - re-architect spaces, environments and delivery. Move - what migration would genuinely cost. Each with a budget estimate and an honest recommendation.

    Six Dimensions. Specific to Contentful.

    Not a generic CMS audit with your platform's name on the cover. Every dimension is scored against how Contentful is actually built, priced and used.

    • Content Model Health

      Will this model still work when your content doubles? Content type inventory - live, orphaned, duplicated. Reference depth and circularity. Field-level bloat. Whether components are genuinely reusable. Above all: whether a monolithic page tree has been reproduced inside a headless system.

    • Architecture, Environments & Locales

      Is your setup designed, or did it accumulate? Single versus multi-space and whether that choice still fits. Environment strategy and aliases, whether model changes are scripted and versioned or applied by hand, locale architecture and fallbacks.

    • Integration & Data Flow

      Does your data flow safely, or is your website hostage to another system? Webhook architecture and error handling, synchronisation from CRM, ERP, PIM and commerce, and coupling risk - whether a slow source system can degrade your site.

    • Delivery & Performance

      How long from an editor pressing publish to it being live? Frontend architecture and rendering strategy, CDA versus GraphQL usage and query efficiency, caching and CDN, preview infrastructure, build and revalidation times, Core Web Vitals.

    • Editorial Effectiveness

      Can your team actually work in this? Roles and permissions against how people really work. Whether workflows, tasks and scheduled publishing are used or ignored. Which Marketplace apps and UI extensions are installed and maintained - and what marketing has quietly started building outside the platform.

    • Cost & Future Options

      Are you on the right tier - and is Contentful still the right centre of your stack? Consumption against entitlement across API calls, records, users, locales and environments. Headroom, overage exposure, tier fit. (Roadmap tier) Your next three years against realistic alternatives, including doing nothing.

    Five Questions We Hear from Contentful Customers

    If any of these is a conversation you have had internally in the last six months, you are in the right place.

    "Are we getting our money's worth?"

    You are on a tier with defined limits - API calls, records, users, locales, environments. Nobody is quite sure how close you are to any of them, whether you are paying for headroom you will never use, or whether next quarter brings an overage invoice.

    "Is our implementation partner still the right one?"

    Simple content changes need a developer. New page types take weeks. Nobody in-house can tell you whether that is Contentful, the way it was modelled, or the agency. You want an independent read before you have an awkward conversation.

    "Do we stay, or do we go?"

    A renewal is coming, or the platform feels like it is fighting you, and the question behind it is bigger: is Contentful still the right centre of this stack - and if not, what does moving actually cost?

    "Where do we actually stand?"

    You inherited this instance, or the people who modelled it have gone. Two hundred content types, nobody knows which are live, and every plan you might make depends on an honest picture you do not currently have. Nobody in-house has time to produce it, and nobody outside has looked at it in years.

    "Can this cost less - or at least work faster?"

    Licence tier, hosting, build times, agency retainer, internal effort. The total is uncomfortable and nobody can tell you which parts of it are necessary.

    Other Contentful Partners Use Our App

    Contentful has no native sitemap view, so editors on large sites have no visual overview of their own content structure. We hit that on client projects and built Arboretum - a popular Contentful app that puts a full visual page hierarchy inside the Contentful UI, with an open-source SDK. It is now used by major Contentful partners and Contentful showcase clients, including agencies we compete with.

    When other implementation teams reach for your tooling to solve their own problem, that is a harder credential to acquire than a badge - and a more relevant one when the question is do these people actually understand this platform.

    Contentful, at Both Ends of the Scale

    One of the most complex Contentful platforms in production, and one that a small team runs daily without a developer.

    On the Partner Question, Specifically

    The question about your existing partner is delicate, and we handle it in a particular way. We assess the work, not the agency. We measure your content model against documented Contentful practice and against what we would expect from an instance of its age and scale, then show you the evidence and the reasoning.

    You draw the conclusion - we do not deliver a verdict on another firm. We also implement Contentful, so you should know our interest. That is exactly why the finding is evidence-based rather than an opinion: an opinion from us here would be worth nothing, and we know it.

    If your current partner wants to respond to the technical annex, we think that is a good outcome - and we are happy to be in that conversation.

    Two Depths. Both Fixed Price.

    Fixed price, fixed timebox, fixed deliverables. The scope is agreed at kickoff and does not move.
