I'll find wasted spend, tracking gaps, and structural problems. No long commitment. You get a report and recommendations. ## What a real PPC audit finds Most Google Ads accounts are bleeding money invisibly. Keywords with zero conversions get renewed every month. Your audience targeting is too broad. Your landing pages have friction nobody told you about. Your tracking is broken, so you're optimizing toward the wrong metrics. A solid audit surfaces all of it. I'll pull 90 days of data, review your structure, test your tracking, and hand you a clear report: here's what's working, here's what's wasting money, and here's what to fix first. ## The audit covers - **Campaign structure** — Are you organized by product, audience, or intent? Is your structure helping or hurting your ROAS? - **Keyword performance** — Which keywords are dead weight? Which are underbudgeted? What's your true cost-per-conversion by keyword? - **Bid strategy and automation** — Is your bid strategy aligned with your LTV? Are you using the right bidding method for your goal? - **Landing page friction** — I check the page someone lands on after clicking. Bad form design or vague copy tanks conversion rate fast. - **Tracking and attribution** — Google Tag Manager working? Conversion values accurate? Are you actually measuring what matters? - **Ad copy and creative** — Are your ads honest and specific, or generic fluff? Do they match the landing page? ## You get a written report Not a 40-minute call where I talk at you. A written report, organized by priority: what to stop, what to change immediately, what to test in month two. The goal is actionability — you hand it to your team (or an agency) and they execute. Or I can discuss findings with you on a call if you want clarification. ### Honest is the default > Some audits conclude 'your account is fine.' That's possible, and I'll tell you. More often, accounts have 2–4 big problems dragging down ROAS. I'll show you exactly what they are and why they matter. ## For Preston and the North West I've audited accounts across e-commerce, D2C, and home services. Local competition in Greater Manchester is fierce — your ad spend has to count. This audit will tell you if it is. ## How the audit works 1. **You grant access** — I need read access to Google Ads and Google Analytics (or whatever conversion data you track). Takes 5 minutes to set up. 2. **I dig in** — I spend 4–6 hours pulling data, reviewing structure, checking landing pages, and testing conversion tracking. No rush; I'll be thorough. 3. **I send the report** — Written findings, prioritized by impact. You can read it, share it, or schedule a call to discuss. ### Other PPC help in Preston - [PPC Agency in Preston](/ppc-agency/preston/) - [PPC Consultant in Preston](/ppc-consultant/preston/) ### Nearby areas I cover - [Bamber Bridge](/ppc-audits/bamber-bridge/) - [Chorley](/ppc-audits/chorley/) - [Blackburn](/ppc-audits/blackburn/) - [Garstang](/ppc-audits/garstang/) - [Darwen](/ppc-audits/darwen/) - [Lytham St Annes](/ppc-audits/lytham-st-annes/) ### Regional coverage - [PPC Audit across Greater Manchester](/ppc-audits/greater-manchester/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does an audit cost? I quote based on your account size and scope. Call or email, and I'll give you a fixed price. Usually a few hundred pounds for the work. ### What if the audit shows everything's broken? Then you'll know. And you'll have a clear roadmap to fix it. Some clients then hire me for ongoing management; others fix it themselves or bring it in-house. Either way, you're no longer flying blind. ### Can you audit an account with very low spend? Yes. If you're spending £500/month and want to know if you're on the right track, an audit is worth it. The problems are the same at any spend level — they just scale differently. ### Do you look at accounts in Preston specifically? Yes. I've audited home services and e-commerce accounts across Greater Manchester and the North West. I know the local competitive landscape. ### What if I'm in the middle of a campaign refresh? Good timing. An audit before a major refresh is perfect — you'll know whether to keep what's working or blow it up and start fresh. ### After the audit, are you obligated to hire you for ongoing work? No. The audit is standalone. You pay once, get the report, and that's it. If you want follow-up help, we'll discuss it. No pressure. ## See what's really happening with your ads Request an audit.
