What a PPC audit actually finds

Most Google Ads accounts are broken. Not completely, but usually in ways that cost money. Missing conversion tracking. Keyword overlap between campaigns. Ads that are barely generating clicks. Bidding strategies that don’t match your margin structure. Audience assumptions that are just wrong.

A proper audit finds these issues and quantifies them. How much budget is probably wasted? Where are the quick wins? What tracking gaps mean you’re flying blind? Where should you invest to scale efficiently?

That’s what we do, and it’s the only consulting work where a fixed price makes sense: scope defined, time-boxed, clear deliverables.

You might not need ongoing management. But you probably need an audit.

Most businesses run ads without realising what’s actually broken. An audit tells you. Then you can decide: fix it yourself, hire an agency, or bring us in for ongoing work. We don’t care. We just want you to have the facts.

What's included in a standard audit

How an audit works

  1. Scope callWe talk through your business, current goals, and what you most want clarity on. This tells us whether an audit is the right tool.
  2. Account accessYou grant us read-only access to your Google Ads account (and Google Analytics if possible). Takes 5 minutes.
  3. Deep dive analysisWe spend 3–5 days pulling data, testing assumptions, and building our findings. No stone left unturned.
  4. Detailed report + callYou get a written report with findings, financials (where possible), and recommendations. We then talk through it, answer questions, and discuss next steps.

Why Launceston businesses benefit from a fresh audit perspective

Launceston’s market is competitive but localised. You’re probably not competing with major national players, but you might be fighting the same regional trades and services from Callington, Bude, or Torpoint. An independent audit tells you where you’re losing ground and where your data is letting you down.

Often the biggest win isn’t a strategy change—it’s fixing tracking. Suddenly you see which ads actually convert. Or which keyword categories are money-losers. That clarity alone is worth the investment.

We’ve audited accounts for businesses at every stage: just starting on Google Ads, running ads for years but flying blind, scaling but unsure about efficiency. Every audit uncovers something—sometimes £1,000+ per month in fixable waste.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an audit cost?

Audit pricing is quoted based on account complexity and depth needed. Book a scope call first. We’ll discuss what you want to learn, and quote accordingly.

How long does an audit take?

Typically 2–3 weeks from start to final report: scope call, analysis period, report write-up, and debrief call. We can sometimes move faster depending on account size.

What if I'm just starting out with Google Ads?

An audit works for beginners too. It sets you up properly from the start—right tracking, right campaign structure, right keyword matching. Prevents years of compounded mistakes.

Do you audit accounts in the Launceston and Cornwall area specifically?

I audit accounts for any UK business, any location, any vertical. Geography doesn’t matter for PPC audits—the mechanics are the same whether you’re in Launceston, London, or Leeds.

After the audit, do we have to hire you for ongoing management?

No obligation. You get the report and recommendations. What you do with them is up to you. If you want help implementing, we can discuss that, but it’s optional.

What if your audit finds something major?

We’ll tell you. And we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s fixable by your team, whether you need ongoing management, or whether it’s a small enough issue you can ignore it. We don’t upsell—we diagnose.
