Google Ads & Paid Search Audit

Google Ads budgets can grow quickly without performance keeping pace. That is when clarity is needed about which campaigns are profitable, where budget is being lost and whether tracking and attribution really deliver reliable optimisation signals.

OUR APPROACH

A GOOGLE ADS AUDIT MUST GO BEYOND ACCOUNT HINTS

A Google Ads audit is only valuable when it goes beyond individual account hints. What matters is not whether there are optimisation potentials, but which of them genuinely affect budget, leads, revenue and profitability. We analyse Google Ads accounts from a performance and business perspective. We examine structure, search terms, budgets, bidding strategies, conversion tracking, attribution, landing pages and reporting.

WHERE IS YOUR GOOGLE ADS ACCOUNT LOSING BUDGET?

Google Ads accounts grow over time: more campaigns, more keywords, more ad groups. Without regular review, inefficient structures, unnecessary wastage and budget losses emerge that are hard to spot without an external perspective.

GOAL OF THE AUDIT
  • ASSESS BUDGET EFFICIENCY
  • CHECK ACCOUNT AND CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE
  • IDENTIFY WASTAGE
  • ANALYSE KEYWORD STRATEGY AND SEARCH TERMS
WHAT YOU GET

FAQs.

WHEN DOES A GOOGLE ADS AUDIT MAKE SENSE?

A Google Ads audit makes sense when campaign performance is stagnating or declining, before a new budget year starts, when switching to a new agency, or when you want a first professional external view of your account. It is also recommended as a basis for a new paid search strategy or after an account transition.

WHAT IS CHECKED IN THE GOOGLE ADS AUDIT?

We analyze account structure, campaign types, keyword strategy, match types, negative keywords, ad copy, landing page relevance, bidding strategy, budget allocation, quality scores, conversion tracking, and attribution models.

WHAT DO I GET AT THE END OF THE AUDIT?

You receive a structured report with prioritized recommendations, concrete quick wins, and a roadmap for medium-term optimizations. We present the results in a shared call on request.

HOW DOES THE AUDIT DIFFER FROM ONGOING GOOGLE ADS MANAGEMENT?

The audit is a one-off, in-depth analysis. Ongoing Google Ads management continuously implements the recommendations, optimizes campaigns based on current data, and responds to market changes. We offer both — as standalone services or in combination.

DO YOU ALSO CHECK CONVERSION TRACKING AND ATTRIBUTION?

Yes. Missing or faulty conversion tracking is one of the most common causes of poor campaign decisions. We check whether all relevant conversions are tracked, whether there are duplicates, and whether the attribution model matches the buying decision of your target audience.
