Why Essex businesses get audits

Essex is a high-CPC environment. The London commuter belt effect means advertisers across the county — from Chelmsford to Colchester, Basildon to Brentwood — often pay London-level prices for clicks. When CPCs are high, the cost of a poorly structured account or a tracking problem is amplified. Wasted spend compounds fast.

A Google Ads audit gives you a clear picture of what’s actually happening in your account. Not the polished version your current agency sends — the real version, including what’s being wasted, what isn’t being tracked, and what a more efficient structure would look like.

What the audit covers

No obligation — and honest findings

If your account is well-run, I’ll tell you that. An audit isn’t a sales tool — it’s a diagnostic. Some accounts need a full rebuild. Some just need a few tweaks. I’ll give you the honest view either way.

Who benefits most from a PPC audit

Audits are most valuable when you have a specific concern — performance has dropped, spend has increased without a clear reason, you’ve taken on a new account and want to understand what you’ve inherited, or you suspect your tracking is off.

I work across ecommerce and home services primarily — both well-represented in Essex. But the fundamentals of a good Google Ads audit apply to any account: structure, tracking, targeting, and spend efficiency.

How the audit process works

  1. Request and briefTell me about your account, your goals, and what’s worrying you. I’ll ask for read access to your Google Ads account.
  2. Diagnostic reviewI go through the account systematically — structure, tracking, search terms, bids, ads, and landing pages.
  3. Written findingsYou get a clear written report — what’s working, what’s wasteful, what’s broken, and a prioritised list of fixes.
  4. Debrief callWe walk through the findings together. I answer your questions and help you understand what to act on first.

Independent — not tied to management

An audit from me is fully independent. I have 12 years of Google Ads experience and £2M+ in directly managed spend. My approach is the same whether you plan to implement changes yourself, give them to your current agency, or eventually move to managed service.

Pricing is tailored to account size and complexity — book a call and I’ll give you a quote. No vague day-rate estimates, no surprise scope creep.

Frequently asked questions

How is a PPC audit different from the free audit my current agency offered?

Agency audits are designed to win your business — they’ll find problems because finding problems justifies switching. An independent audit from me has no such agenda. I’m not trying to take over your account. I’m giving you an honest read.

We're in Essex and our account has been running for years — is an audit still useful?

Often more useful. Long-running accounts accumulate bad habits — negative keyword lists that were never built, match types that have drifted, tracking that was set up once and never validated. The older the account, the more there is to find.

Do I need to pause my campaigns while you audit?

No. The audit is read-only. I review what’s there without touching the account. You keep running as normal.

What do I get at the end?

A written findings document — clear, prioritised, jargon-free — and a debrief call to walk through it. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong, why it matters, and what to do about it.

Can you audit an account I've just taken over from another agency?

Yes — this is one of the most common audit scenarios. Understanding what you’ve inherited before you change anything is exactly the right move. I’ll give you a clear baseline.
