The detail

You grant read-only access to your own account, which takes about a minute, and we analyse the last ninety days properly rather than working from a screenshot or an export. We quantify wasted spend by comparing the search terms you actually paid for against the ones you meant to bid on. We check negative keyword gaps, campaign structure and budget allocation against performance, quality scores and what they cost you, auction insights showing who you are really up against, Performance Max asset groups and shopping feed health where those are running, and whether your landing pages deliver what the adverts promised.

The one that surprises people most is conversion tracking. A large share of accounts record conversions wrongly or not at all, which means every optimisation decision made since has been based on numbers that were not true. We validate it and check the attribution model. What comes back is a prioritised plan, quality checked by our team, with you within 48 hours.

Who this is for

You are spending on Google Ads and you cannot tell whether it is working. Somebody set the account up, perhaps an agency you have left, and nobody has looked at it properly since. You suspect money is going somewhere it should not, or you are considering changing agency and want an independent read on the account before you decide.

When this is not the right answer

If you have no ad account yet, there is nothing to audit and the Google Ads Setup is where you start. If you already know the account is beyond saving and you want it rebuilt rather than diagnosed, go straight to the setup. This finds and explains problems; it does not fix them.

Common questions

Read-only access to your Google Ads account, which takes about a minute to grant and can be removed by you at any time. Read-only means we can see everything and change nothing, so there is no risk of the account being altered while it is being looked at.
A free twenty minute review is a sales call with a screen share, and you keep nothing at the end of it. This is a document with numbers in it that you own, and that your own team or a different agency could act on tomorrow. That is the difference you are paying for.
It often is, and finding that out is one of the most valuable outcomes of the audit. It means the decisions made in the account have been based on numbers that were not real. The report tells you what is wrong and what to fix first so future decisions rest on something true.
No, deliberately. The audit stands on its own so the findings stay honest, and the same applies to our SEO audit. If the right answer for you is to take the plan to your existing team or another agency, that is a perfectly good outcome and the report is written so you can.
