What a PPC audit actually uncovers

Most Budleigh Salterton businesses running Google Ads have no idea how much money’s leaking. Bad keyword targeting. Conversion tracking that’s completely broken. Ad copy that repels the people who should convert. I audit accounts to find exactly where you’re wasting money and what you’re leaving on the table.

What I review in a PPC audit

Most audits find 15–40% wasted spend. Yours probably will too.

You don’t need more budget. You need to spend smarter on what you’ve already got.

How a PPC audit works

You give me access to your Google Ads account and Google Analytics (or whatever conversion tracking you use). I spend 2–3 hours reviewing the entire setup — campaigns, keywords, audience lists, ad copy, landing pages, and conversion paths. I produce a written report listing every issue I find, the impact (how much it’s costing you), and exactly how to fix it. Prioritised. Clear. Actionable.

The audit process

  1. Scope and accessYou tell me what you want audited (entire account, specific campaigns, or a particular problem area). I get read-only access to your Google Ads and analytics.
  2. Deep reviewI methodically go through every element — structure, keywords, audience targeting, tracking, ad copy, landing pages, and performance data.
  3. Written reportYou get a detailed breakdown of what I found, ranked by impact and cost. Each issue includes the fix. No jargon.
  4. Debrief call (optional)If you want to talk through the findings, we can schedule a 30-minute call. This is where I answer questions and talk through priorities.

No obligation. No sales pitch.

After the audit, you can action it yourself, hire me to fix it, take it to another agency, or do nothing. I honestly don’t care — the goal is for you to understand exactly what’s happening with your ads and where the money’s going. Whether you hire me after is your choice. Businesses in Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Sidmouth, and across Devon get the same honest assessment.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a PPC audit cost?

I quote based on account size and complexity — send me details, and I’ll give you a fixed price. Typical audits for small-to-medium Budleigh Salterton businesses are in the low hundreds. Get in touch for a specific quote.

How long does an audit take?

The review itself takes 2–3 hours. The report usually comes back within a week. If you want a debrief call, we add 30 minutes for that.

Will you find issues in my tracking or analytics setup?

Yes. Conversion tracking is one of the first things I check — and it’s broken more often than not. I’ll flag every tracking gap I find and tell you exactly how to fix it.

What if I don't want to fix everything you find?

That’s fine. The report is prioritised by impact — fix the big wins first. Even implementing half of my recommendations usually saves money and improves performance.

Can you audit a specific campaign or just the whole account?

Either. Some clients want the whole account audited; others just want me to dig into one campaign that’s underperforming. Tell me what matters most, and I’ll focus the audit there.

Do you offer audits for businesses in Devon outside Budleigh Salterton?

Yes. I work UK-wide — Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth, and everywhere else. Remote audits work just as well as in-person, and the insights are the same.
