Your Google Ads audit: one deep look

You’re not ready to hand off management. You might not even want consulting. But you want to know: are my ads wasteful? Am I tracking conversions right? Is my bid strategy sound? A one-off audit answers those. We dig into your account, write findings, you decide what to do.

What an audit covers

Harpenden's high CPCs demand audit discipline

In the London commuter belt, every wasted click stings. A structural gap—bad keyword matching, missing negative keywords, automation set to the wrong target—bleeds money fast. An audit catches that.

When to audit, not manage

You have a team member or partner running ads, but you want validation. Or you’ve been running them yourself and want expert eyes. Or you tried an agency and something felt off. An audit gives you intel, written down, no obligation. You take action, or you don’t.

The audit process

  1. Quick callYou describe your setup, goals, and what concerns you. I scope the audit.
  2. Deep reviewI review your account, check structure, tracking, performance, competitive position.
  3. Written reportFindings, priorities, next steps—clear and honest, whether the news is good or bad.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Google Ads audit cost?

Scope varies. Depends on account size and complexity. I’ll quote on a call after you describe your setup.

Can you audit multiple accounts?

Yes. Multi-account audits happen often. I quote based on total volume.

Do I have to take your recommendations?

No. It’s a report. You decide what to do. Some clients action everything; some cherry-pick.

Will you recommend I hire you for management?

If the audit shows you need it, I’ll say so. If you’re running fine, I’ll tell you that too. Honest.

How long does a typical audit take?

Depends on size. A tight 1-2 account review takes a few days; a multi-account audit with many campaigns might take a week. We’ll agree on turnaround on the call.

Does Harpenden's market affect audit findings?

Yes. I benchmark against local CPCs and competition. Harpenden has London-level ad costs, so I’ll flag if you’re overpaying for clicks or missing targeting tightness.
