Account Audits.

A standalone, written audit of an existing Google Ads account. Delivered as a document. No engagement obligation either way.

What it is

A structured outside read.

An audit is exactly that: a written, structured assessment of an existing Google Ads account, delivered as a document you can read, share internally, or take to any other agency. There's no commitment to work with us afterwards.

We offer audits as a standalone service because two situations come up often. The first: businesses suspect their current setup isn't working but can't put their finger on why. The second: businesses are evaluating a new agency or making an internal vs. agency decision and want an outside opinion before committing.

Where it fits

What an audit covers.

a

Account structure

Campaign types, budget allocation, geographic and language settings. Is the structure designed for current Smart Bidding, or built on legacy patterns?

b

Conversion tracking integrity

Are conversions defined the way the business actually measures success? Are events duplicating? Are primary/secondary conversions distinguished correctly?

c

Bid strategy fit

Is the bid strategy in use appropriate for the volume of data, the business model, and the goal? When was it last reviewed?

d

Creative and asset health

Ad strength, asset coverage, RSA setup, image and video asset rotation. Where are the gaps in coverage?

e

Search terms and negative keywords

Are spend-leaking irrelevant search terms being captured by your negative lists? Are there clusters of intent being missed?

f

Feed health (where relevant)

For Shopping and PMax: Merchant Center diagnostics, title/attribute quality, disapprovals, GTIN coverage.

How we work it

How it works.

01

Read-only access

You add us to your Google Ads account as a read-only manager. We sign an NDA first if needed. No changes are made to anything during an audit.

02

10-14 days of analysis

We work through the account methodically. Where data is missing or unclear, we flag the questions before drawing conclusions.

03

Written document

You receive a written audit document — typically 15 to 25 pages — covering each of the areas above, with specific findings and prioritized recommendations.

04

30-minute walkthrough call

After delivery, a call to walk through findings and answer questions. After that, you decide what you want to do with the document. There's no follow-up sales process.

Honest scope

What an audit isn't.

An audit is an outside read, not a forensic investigation. We work from what's visible in the account: structure, settings, performance data, search terms, asset performance. We don't recreate two years of A/B test history or interview your previous agency.

An audit also isn't a guarantee of improvement. It's a document of findings and recommendations. Acting on those recommendations is a separate step, and whether you do it in-house, with us, or with someone else is genuinely your choice.

What an audit does reliably do is make sure decisions about the account are based on a structured outside read rather than the inside narrative — which, in our experience, is almost always worth the price by itself.
