What a Google Ads audit actually finds

Most Haverhill companies running Google Ads have at least one serious problem they don’t know about. Broken tracking. Bloated audiences. Keyword creep. Bids that don’t match your margins. Campaign structure that wastes budget on low-intent traffic.

An audit is a systematic review of your entire account designed to find those problems and quantify the impact. We read through every campaign, audience, bid strategy, conversion event, and landing page. Then we tell you what’s actually costing you money and what’s working.

What we check in every audit

Why audits matter in a high-CPC market

Haverhill is in the London commuter belt. That means CPCs are high and every click is expensive. A 10% waste in your account structure might be hundreds or thousands of pounds per month disappearing into bad targeting or broken tracking. An audit finds that waste.

How the audit works

You give us read access to your Google Ads account (via a temporary view-only login or your account manager). We spend 4–8 hours digging through the setup, testing the tracking, checking the data quality, and running scenario analysis.

Then we write a report: what we found, why it matters, and what to fix. The report includes screenshots, specific examples, and priority-ranked recommendations. We can present it to you and answer questions, or you can review it independently.

There’s no obligation to hire us after. The audit stands on its own. You own the findings and can share them with your current agency or use them to manage the account yourself.

Typical audit findings

Audit pricing and next steps

Audit pricing depends on account complexity. Simple accounts (single-product, 5–10 campaigns) are at one end of the range. Large, multi-product or multi-service accounts cost more. We’ll give you a quote after a brief conversation about your setup.

After the audit, if you want us to implement recommendations or take over management, we can discuss a proposal. But again, no obligation. The audit is yours to use however you see fit.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an audit take?

Account review takes us 4–8 hours depending on complexity. Report writing takes 2–4 hours more. You’ll have findings within one week of giving us access.

Do you need my Google Ads login?

We can work with a temporary read-only view or a management account login. We won’t change anything — we’re just reading data. If you’re uncomfortable sharing access, we can also work from a CSV export of your campaign structure, but that’s less thorough.

What if nothing's broken?

That happens. If your account is genuinely well-structured and tracking is solid, we’ll tell you that. We’ll still find optimisation opportunities, but if the foundations are good, we’ll say so.

Can you audit a competitor's account?

No. We can only audit accounts you own or have legitimate access to. But we can review your own competitor’s publicly available data (landing pages, ad copy in search results, etc.) as part of competitive analysis.

Will the audit find things my current agency missed?

Often, yes. Not because they’re incompetent, but because an independent review brings fresh eyes. We’re also audit-specific in how we approach accounts, versus day-to-day management where priorities can shift.

How soon after the audit can you implement fixes?

If you want us to implement, we can move fast. Some fixes (negative keywords, bid adjustments, broken conversion events) take days. Structural changes (campaign rebuild) might take weeks. We’ll prioritise the highest-impact changes first.
