Not because the people running them are incompetent — but because Google Ads is designed to spend your budget broadly, and the defaults favour Google's revenue over your return. Without someone actively pulling back that spend and redirecting it toward what works, the account drifts. An audit is a diagnostic. It looks at your account as it stands right now — the structure, the settings, the bidding strategy, the search terms your ads have actually shown for, the conversion tracking, the landing pages — and tells you honestly what is working, what is wasted, and what is missing. I have 12 years of Google Ads experience and £2M+ in personal ad spend management behind me. I know what a well-structured account looks like, and I know how to spot the patterns that indicate money going to waste. ## What the audit covers - **Account structure** — are campaigns and ad groups set up in a way that gives you control over where spend goes? - **Keyword and match type analysis** — what terms are you actually paying for, and are they relevant to your business? - **Search term waste** — identifying irrelevant or low-intent queries draining budget that should be blocked. - **Bidding strategy review** — is your bidding approach appropriate for your current data volume and campaign goals? - **Conversion tracking audit** — are conversions being counted correctly, are there duplicates, and is the data Google is using to optimise your campaigns actually accurate? - **Ad copy and quality score** — are your ads relevant to what people are searching for and to what is on the landing page? - **Campaign settings** — checking for common default settings that hurt performance: search partners, display expansion, broad match without smart bidding controls. - **Geographic targeting** — are you showing ads to the right areas across Hampshire and beyond, or paying for clicks from locations that never convert? ## The conversion tracking problem most audits find Broken or inaccurate conversion tracking is one of the most common findings in any Google Ads audit. When the data flowing back into Google is wrong — duplicate conversions, missing phone call tracking, form submissions firing twice — Smart Bidding strategies optimise toward the wrong signals. You end up paying more for leads that are harder to convert, and cutting budget on the campaigns that are actually driving your best customers. For Hampshire home services businesses — trades, installation companies, local service providers — phone calls are often the primary conversion. If those are not tracked correctly, your account is flying blind. For ecommerce businesses based in Hampshire, purchase values and micro-conversion data both need to be feeding in cleanly for Performance Max and Shopping campaigns to work properly. *Getting the tracking right is not optional — it is the foundation everything else sits on.* ### No obligation to continue after the audit > The audit is a standalone piece of work. You get a clear written report, a walkthrough call, and honest recommendations. What you do with those recommendations is entirely up to you — take them to your current agency, implement them yourself, or explore whether we should work together on an ongoing basis. There is no pressure, no upsell script. ## How the audit process works 1. **Request and scoping call** — You get in touch and we have a brief call to understand your account, your business, and what you most want to find out. I confirm scope and what access I need. 2. **Account access** — You grant me read access to your Google Ads account. This is straightforward to set up and you remain in full control — I cannot make changes without explicit permission. 3. **Audit and analysis** — I work through the account systematically — structure, search terms, tracking, settings, bidding, copy. This is manual, senior-level review, not an automated tool generating a traffic-light report. 4. **Written report and walkthrough** — You receive a clear written report covering findings, priorities, and specific recommendations. We then walk through it on a call so you can ask questions and understand exactly what each recommendation means. ## Hampshire businesses this audit is built for The audit is most valuable if you are an established Hampshire business spending a meaningful amount on Google Ads and not confident the account is being managed as well as it could be. Home services businesses across Hampshire — covering the county from Basingstoke and Andover in the north to Southampton and Portsmouth on the coast, and across to the borders with West Sussex and Surrey — are a strong fit if you rely on local search to generate enquiries. Getting campaign structure, location targeting, and call tracking right makes a significant difference to cost per lead in competitive local markets. Ecommerce businesses based in Hampshire — selling to customers across the UK or internationally — benefit from an audit focused on Shopping feed quality, Performance Max campaign structure, and the accuracy of purchase event tracking. These are areas where the gap between a well-managed account and a poorly managed one directly translates into margin. Pricing for the audit is based on account complexity — book a call and I will give you a clear, specific figure with no ambiguity about what is included. ### Other PPC help in Hampshire - [PPC Agency in Hampshire](/ppc-agency/hampshire/) - [PPC Consultant in Hampshire](/ppc-consultant/hampshire/) ### Neighbouring counties - [Isle of Wight](/ppc-audits/isle-of-wight/) - [Berkshire](/ppc-audits/berkshire/) - [Wiltshire](/ppc-audits/wiltshire/) - [West Sussex](/ppc-audits/west-sussex/) - [Surrey](/ppc-audits/surrey/) ### Towns I cover across Hampshire - [Southampton](/ppc-audits/southampton/) - [Fareham](/ppc-audits/fareham/) - [Winchester](/ppc-audits/winchester/) - [Petersfield](/ppc-audits/petersfield/) - [Andover](/ppc-audits/andover/) - [Romsey](/ppc-audits/romsey/) - [Alton](/ppc-audits/alton/) - [Havant](/ppc-audits/havant/) - [New Alresford](/ppc-audits/new-alresford/) - [Eastleigh](/ppc-audits/eastleigh/) - [Bordon](/ppc-audits/bordon/) - [Hythe](/ppc-audits/hythe/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does a Google Ads audit take? The audit itself typically takes several working days depending on account size and complexity. I will give you a realistic timeline when we discuss scope on the initial call. ### Do you offer audits for Hampshire businesses across different sectors? My primary focus is ecommerce and home services — the sectors where I have the deepest experience. If your Hampshire business is in a different sector, I will tell you honestly on the initial call whether I think I can add meaningful value. ### Can I share your audit findings with my current agency? Absolutely. The audit is yours. Many clients use it as a structured brief to take back to their existing agency — or as an objective basis for a conversation about performance. You can do whatever you want with the report. ### What if the audit finds my Hampshire campaigns are already performing well? Then I will tell you that, and explain why. I am not going to manufacture recommendations to justify the audit fee. If the account is in good shape, you leave with confidence and a clear explanation of what is working and why. ### How is this different from a free audit offered by a Google Ads agency? A free audit from an agency is a sales tool — the output is designed to make you want to hire them. My audit is a paid, independent diagnostic with no agenda other than giving you an honest picture of your account. I have no interest in finding problems that do not exist. ### Do I need to be spending a certain amount to make an audit worthwhile? An audit makes most sense when you are spending enough that inefficiency has a meaningful cost. Book a call and we can quickly assess whether your Hampshire account is at a stage where a structured audit would deliver clear value. ## Find out where your Hampshire Google Ads budget is going Request a PPC audit.
