What a PPC audit uncovers

Most businesses running Google Ads have at least one leak in the bucket. Maybe broad match is pulling in the wrong search terms. Maybe your bid strategy isn’t tuned to your actual conversion curve. Maybe your negative keywords are weak. Maybe conversion tracking is broken and you’re making decisions on bad data. Maybe you’re spending on keywords that barely convert, while your winners are under-budgeted.

An audit finds those gaps. It’s a snapshot of your account health, told clearly, with specific recommendations for what to fix.

A typical PPC audit includes

Why audit matters in Haslemere

Haslemere and the West Sussex commuter belt are expensive markets. CPCs are high because of London-level competition. That means every wasted click costs you more. A business here can lose 15–30% of budget to poor targeting and weak negatives. An audit catches that fast. For ecommerce businesses, it’s the difference between profitability and loss. For home services and trades, it’s the difference between healthy margins and thin ones.

Fixed scope, no lock-in

An audit is a one-off project. I deliver a findings report. You decide what to do with it — hire us to implement, take it to your current team, or do it yourself. We’re not trying to sell you ongoing management. This is just diagnostic work.

How the audit works

  1. Scope callWe talk through your account, budget, business model, and what concerns you most — that shapes exactly what I audit and how deep we go.
  2. Audit periodWe dive into your account data, analyse performance, spot gaps, and pull recommendations. This usually takes a few days depending on account complexity.
  3. Findings reportYou get a detailed written report with findings, prioritised recommendations, and (where relevant) specific actions you can take immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a PPC audit cost?

Price varies based on account size and scope. I’ll quote you on a call after we discuss what you want audited.

How long does an audit take?

The audit itself takes a few days. You get the full report within a week, then we can discuss it together.

What if the audit finds nothing wrong?

Then I’ll tell you that. You’ll also get confirmation that your tracking is sound, your negatives are solid, and your strategy is fit. That’s valuable too.

Can the audit include my landing pages or website?

The audit focuses on your Google Ads account — keywords, bidding, targeting, tracking, and ad copy. For broader site or conversion optimisation, that’s a separate conversation.

Do you include implementation in the audit price?

No. The audit is findings and recommendations. If you want us to implement, we’d scope and price that separately.

Is this a free trial to get me to hire you?

No. It’s a diagnostic. You might decide to implement the findings yourself, or bring them to your current agency. We’re not trying to lock you in.
