What a PPC audit actually finds

You’re running Google Ads. You might be spending £500/month, or £5,000/month. But are you confident that every pound is working? Most business owners aren’t. They see traffic, see conversions, but they don’t know if they’re leaving money on the table. A proper audit finds: keywords that get clicks but never convert, audiences that look good on paper but deliver nothing, landing pages that kill your ROAS, tracking that’s broken so you don’t see the real picture, competitors bidding on your brand, bid strategies that are outdated. Then I tell you exactly what to fix and why.

What I audit

Honest diagnosis

Sometimes I find quick wins: pause 10 keywords, save £200/month. Sometimes the issue is bigger: your landing pages don’t convert, so ads were never going to work. Either way, you get a clear, actionable diagnosis.

Fixed scope, no hidden agenda

A PPC audit is a one-off diagnostic. You get a report with findings and recommendations. No obligation to hire me for ongoing management. No upsell. If the audit finds that your ads are working well, I’ll tell you that too. Many Kirkby Lonsdale businesses have solid ad fundamentals but are missing one or two key optimisations. An audit spots those fast.

The audit process

  1. You send me access (30 mins)I need read access to your Google Ads account, Google Analytics, and your website. Takes 10 minutes to set up.
  2. I dig in (3–5 business days)I audit your campaigns, keywords, tracking, and landing pages. I spot patterns and issues, not just surface metrics.
  3. Report + call (60 mins)You get a detailed written report. We hop on a call to walk through findings, priorities, and your next steps.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a PPC audit cost?

Price depends on account size and complexity. I quote once I know your setup. No charge until you agree. Book a call to discuss scope and pricing.

Will you pressure me to hire you for ongoing management?

No. The audit is a diagnostic. You’ll get recommendations. If you want me to implement them, we can talk about management. But there’s no obligation.

What if my Google Ads are brand new?

An audit makes even more sense. I can spot structural issues before bad habits set in, and give you a strong launch roadmap.

Can you audit Google Shopping, YouTube ads, or Bing?

I specialise in Google Ads Search and Display. YouTube and Bing audits are possible—ask on the call.

How long until I see results from the audit recommendations?

Quick wins can show up in weeks. Bigger changes (restructuring campaigns, rewriting creatives) take 6–8 weeks to show full impact. Depends on your traffic volume.

Is a PPC audit useful for Cumbria businesses small and large?

Yes. I’ve audited £500/month accounts and £50,000/month accounts. The principles are the same. Kirkby Lonsdale businesses waste the same percentage, just at different scales.

Find out where your ad budget goes

A quick audit often finds £200–£1,000 a month in easily fixed waste. No obligation, just a clear diagnostic and actionable roadmap.
