Who is this Google Ads account audit for?

Our Google Ads account audit is ideal if you:

    Manage your own campaigns and want an expert second opinion

    Suspect your tracking or conversion data isn’t accurate

    Are seeing clicks but not enough leads, sales or ROI

    Have taken over an account and need to understand what’s been done (or not done)

    Want a clear action plan before committing to ongoing management

What our Google Ads account audit includes

Our Google Ads account audit is a deep, technical and strategic review of your account. You’ll get clarity on what’s working, what’s wasting budget, and exactly what to fix, with clear priorities and actionable next steps.

Here’s how it works:

1. Brief

After you book, we’ll send you a short questionnaire so we understand:

    Your business model and offer

 Current goals (leads, sales, etc.)

 Historic performance and any problem areas you’ve noticed

 What you specifically want us to dig into

2. Secure access

We’ll request access to:

 your Google Ads account

  Google Analytics

  Google Tag Manager

 Google Merchant Center

No ownership changes, no disruption, just read-only access so we can see what is really happening. 

3. The audit

Within 7 business days of getting access, we’ll complete a full audit and send you:

 Screen recorded video walkthrough of your account

 Structured list of issues, priorities and recommendations

  Clear actions you (or your team) can implement

We will focus on making your Google Ads account more profitable.

 

Here's what we typically cover:

Tech and tracking

Most underperforming accounts have tracking issues. As part of our Google Ads account audit, we will:

  Check that conversion tracking is set up correctly and not duplicated

  Validate that key actions (leads, sales, calls, form fills, etc) are being tracked

  Review GA4 events, attribution and data consistency

  Flag any gaps that are skewing your numbers and decisions

Account and campaign structure

A key part of any Google Ads account audit is assessing whether your current structure is helping or hurting performance:

  Are campaigns aligned with your business goals and margins? 

  Are search terms, match types, and themes organised clearly?

You’ll get specific recommendations on what to change and why.

Optimisation opportunities

We dig into the details that separate profitable accounts from money pits:

  Search term analysis: What are you actually showing up for? Are you paying for irrelevant clicks?

  Negative keywords: Are you blocking waste or letting budget leak?

  Bidding strategy: Is your current approach aligned with your goals and conversion volume?

  Ad copy and assets: Are your ads compelling, relevant, and taking advantage of all available extensions?

  Audience layering: Are you using remarketing, customer match, and in-market audiences effectively?

  Budget allocation: Is spend going to your best-performing campaigns, or spread too thin?

You’ll get a prioritised list of changes that will have the biggest impact on performance.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs about our Google Ads audit

What is a Google Ads account audit?

A  Google Ads audit is a deep, expert review of your existing Google Ads account. We assess everything from structure and targeting to creative, budget use, and tracking. You’ll receive a clear, written report with insights and recommended next steps.

What's included in the audit?

We review:

– Campaign structure

– Keyword and audience targeting

– Ad copy and creative

– Bidding and budget allocation

– Conversion tracking and attribution

– Any automation (like Performance Max or Smart Campaigns)

You’ll get a breakdown of issues, opportunities, and practical improvements.

How do I give you access to my Google Ads account?

We’ll send instructions for safely granting us read-only access. It’s quick, secure, and lets us view everything without making any changes. 

How long does the audit take?

Once we have access and a quick onboarding form completed, the audit is usually delivered within 5 business days. 

Will I understand the audit if I'm not a Google Ads expert?

Yes! We keep our audits as simple as possible, with clear explanations of what’s happening and what needs to change. 

Can I use the audit to make changes myself?

Absolutely. The audit is designed to be actionable. Whether you want to make the changes yourself, hand them over to your team, or ask us to help, the recommendations are clear and practical.

Is the audit just for Search Campaigns?

No, we review all active campaign types, including Search, Display, Performance Max and Shopping.

What if I want you to manage my ads after the audit?

We’d love to! Here is a bonus – if you go on to book our full Google Ads Management service within 30 days, we’ll credit the audit cost towards your first month. 

Google Ads account audit - your concerns answered

“I already look at my Google Ads data. Why do I need an audit?”

“Looking at data is one thing. Interpreting it, identifying gaps, and spotting strategic issues is another. We go beyond the dashboards to show you what’s really working and what’s quietly costing you.”

"I don’t have a huge budget. Is the audit still worth it?"

“Yes. Smaller budgets need even smarter strategies. An audit helps make sure every pound is working as hard as possible and avoids common mistakes that drain budget fast.”

"I’m working with an agency already.”

“That’s totally fine. Our audit can act as an unbiased second opinion, great for peace of mind or uncovering fresh opportunities. Some agencies even refer clients to us for that exact reason.”

“I don’t have time for this right now.”

“No problem, we keep the process quick and simple. Once we have access, you don’t need to lift a finger. We deliver your report within 7 business days.
