Keep every Google, Meta and Amazon campaign in order and operating at maximum efficiency with regular audits of your paid search accounts.

Auditing your PPC ads without auditing the overall account assumes that the foundations are strong.

Why do I need a PPC account audit?

God is in the detail, as the saying goes - and this is especially true for PPC account management. You need to keep a close eye on all your paid ads to avoid wasting money and to ensure more sales come your way. Stay sharp, stay effective, stay successful.

Are you seeing a drop in ad performance at the moment? Are costs on the rise, yet your results aren’t what you’d expect to see? Sounds like a full account audit and review could be in order.

Regular analysis of your accounts allows you to evaluate performance and reveal vulnerable areas ripe for improvement, taking into account short and long-term outcomes for costs, performance and returns across all your campaigns.

Once this forms part of your overarching strategy, you’ll be able to identify areas of wasted ad spend and inefficiencies, so resources can be redirected towards more profitable keywords.

You’ll also be able to see which devices, demographics and geo-locations are the most lucrative, allowing you to refine targeting and bid management to reach relevant audiences to drive engagement and conversions.

From a technical perspective, auditing allows you to spot tracking errors and issues with page load times and mobile responsiveness, all of which can seriously hinder performance over time.

Sounds complicated? It can be. Is it worth doing? Absolutely! Real-time data and in-depth insight are invaluable when it comes to digital marketing… so let’s start digging deep.

Our PPC Account Audit services

Full account settings reviews

This is our first step, checking network selections, automation rules, location parameters, audience segments, device modifiers and legacy single keyword ad groups that aren’t up to date with algorithm changes.

Cementing data integrity needs to come first.

Keyword performance

Keyword hygiene reviews involve looking for negative keyword gaps and zero-conversion incidence rates, as well as cannibalisation between ad groups and different campaigns.

Minimise wasted ad spend, one of the biggest issues you face, with regular auditing.

Ad copy & assets

Active creatives need to be highly relevant, engaging and enjoying maximum visibility… which can be easier said than done to maintain!

Keep everything working hard over time with message match, asset coverage and responsive search ad strength reviews.

Landing page alignment

Web pages need to match ad text, target words and user search intent. If you’re seeing high bounce rates, this could well be a good area of focus for your account.

We’ll assess all core elements, as well as technical and user experience checks, to ensure campaign integrity.

Conversion tracking

We carry out full technical setup health checks to ensure that your conversion tracking is accurate, including verifying action statuses, checking counting settings and confirming attribution models.

Achieve your marketing goals more effectively by making decisions based on real user behaviour.

Budget allocation

Who could benefit from a PPC account audit?

High-spend organisations

If you have a big budget for digital marketing, that’s fantastic! But if you’re spending a lot without seeing a proportional increase in sales or leads, then it’s simply going to waste. It doesn’t have to be this way, however, and an audit will reveal what’s happening behind the scenes.

Big budgets deserve zero leaks.

Brands seeing stagnant results

It’s certainly not uncommon for brands to see a significant uptick in conversions when campaigns first begin. But after a while, stagnation occurs and results plateau. Can’t work out why? Considering throwing in the towel? Book a full review before making any decisions.

Plateaus have causes. Find yours.

Evolving brands

Whenever significant changes take place, internally or externally, a full account audit can be beneficial to establish immediate baselines and compile effective growth roadmaps, based on new datasets and business insights.

New chapter, new baseline.

Got any questions?

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?

How often should you do a PPC account audit?

For mature accounts, a quarterly review would be our recommended approach so you can make sure that you’re operating in line with algorithm updates. For bigger budgets, monthly audits can ensure that you catch potential issues quickly.

And if you undergo any major platform changes, or if you see any significant drops in performance, a full review would also be advisable.

How do I identify wasted ad spend?

We’ll look at all your search term reports, audit your tracking setup and check for zero-conversion keywords to see if there are areas where ad spend isn’t worth it anymore.

We also audit your account settings to check for broken conversion tracking, any out-of-stock products that are being targeted by active ads, audience overlap and more. We work to make sure that your entire budget is working as hard as possible for your campaign.

What are the most common mistakes found in PPC accounts?

In our experience, the most common mistakes we identify while carrying out PPC audits are a lack of negative keywords, poor conversion tracking and poor match type selection.

Problems like these waste your budget and impact performance… but they’re relatively simple to resolve. You just need to know that they’re getting in the way and that’s why regular audits prove invaluable.

How to tell if my PPC agency is doing a good job?

Auditing our performance is just as important as us auditing your PPC accounts!

We prioritise business profits, clear communication and driving return on ad spend, demonstrable through the provision of clear reports on real sales, proactive updates, clean account ownership and transparent evaluation.

Can a marketing audit be done internally?

Yes, of course digital marketing audits can be done internally - as long as you have the skills and experience in-house to ensure that you get the insights you need, as well as being able to take appropriate technical action based on incoming results.

Being objective is key when it comes to auditing processes, which is why it’s so beneficial to outsource this aspect of your PPC campaign.

We keep up to date on all new industry trends, use fresh data tools and follow advanced SEO practices, ensuring that our clients grow as time goes on.
