What It Checks

What Does the Found-and-Chosen Assessment Check?

A speaker can have valuable expertise and still be difficult to discover or evaluate when their public signals are vague, scattered, or incomplete. This free assessment reviews four parts of the journey from being found to moving toward chosen.

  • Stage 1

    Be Discovered

    Can planners, search engines, and AI search tools reach a current public speaker presence connected to your name, audience, and topic?

  • Stage 2

    Be Understood

    Can someone quickly tell who you serve, what you speak about, and the outcomes your talks support?

  • Stage 3

    Be Considered

    Do your video, proof, bio, talk descriptions, and digital speaker materials help a planner evaluate your fit?

  • Stage 4

    Move Toward Chosen

    Is there a clear inquiry path and a repeatable system for pursuing, following up on, and tracking suitable opportunities?

Questions Speakers Ask About Being Found and Chosen

Speaker discoverability is how easily someone researching a particular audience, topic, problem, or outcome can reach and understand your public speaker presence. It involves more than adding keywords or installing an SEO plugin. Your message, content, speaker page, proof, and public profiles must communicate clearly and consistently.

AI search tools can help planners begin their research by asking for speakers who match a specific audience, topic, problem, location, or desired outcome. The results may provide names and sources to investigate, but human planners and committees still evaluate credibility, fit, proof, and readiness.

No. The assessment provides a practical snapshot of your current speaker presence. It identifies strengths and possible gaps, but it does not guarantee discovery, shortlisting, selection, or bookings.

Yes. Speakers do not need to be famous or highly experienced to begin building a bookable foundation. New speakers can use the results to focus on clarity, useful assets, appropriate proof, and the next practical step.

The assessment contains 12 questions and usually takes about three minutes. Your results identify your strongest stage, your weakest stage, and practical next moves.

Your overall score provides a snapshot of your current readiness. Your lowest-scoring stage identifies the area where focused attention may make the biggest practical difference next. If your scores are strong across all four stages, your recommendation focuses on consistent booking action.
