What gets checked

The 36-point audit

This is the actual checklist, not a summary of one. Most accounts fail somewhere in the first two sections, and most of those failures are invisible from inside the Google Ads dashboard.

SECTION 01

Conversion tracking & measurement

  • Primary conversion actions verified as firing once, and only on real completions
  • Duplicate or double-counted conversions across Google Ads, GA4 and GTM
  • Conversion values populated, and matched against actual revenue
  • Attribution model and lookback window suited to your sales cycle
  • Enhanced conversions status and consent-mode configuration
  • Imported GA4 goals silently inflating reported performance
SECTION 02

Account structure & settings

  • Campaign and ad group architecture against real search intent
  • Search Partners and Display Network expansion draining Search budgets
  • Location targeting set to presence rather than interest
  • Ad rotation, delivery method and schedule settings
  • Overlapping campaigns competing in the same auction
SECTION 03

Search terms & negatives

  • Search terms report mined across the full available window
  • Spend sitting behind zero-conversion queries
  • Negative keyword lists, coverage gaps and conflicts blocking valid traffic
  • Match type distribution and broad match spend leakage
  • Brand and competitor terms separated from generic demand
SECTION 04

Bidding & budget

  • Bid strategy appropriate to conversion volume — the most common structural error
  • Target CPA and ROAS values against what the account can actually achieve
  • Budget-limited campaigns capping profitable demand
  • Budget distribution across campaigns versus their contribution
  • Bid adjustments by device, location, hour and audience
SECTION 05

Performance Max & Shopping

  • Performance Max cannibalising Search and Brand campaigns
  • Asset group structure and listing group segmentation
  • Merchant Centre feed quality, disapprovals and missing attributes
  • Brand exclusions and account-level negatives applied to PMax
  • Channel-level reporting visibility within PMax
SECTION 06

Ads, assets & landing pages

  • Responsive search ad strength, pinning and asset coverage
  • Sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets and image assets in place
  • Ad copy alignment with the query and the landing page promise
  • Landing page load speed and mobile experience
  • Form friction and conversion path drop-off
  • Disapproved or limited ads quietly suppressing volume
SECTION 07

Audiences & competitive position

  • Remarketing and customer-match lists — present, populated, and applied
  • Audience signals and observation-versus-targeting settings
  • Auction insights: who is taking your impression share, and where
  • Impression share lost to rank versus lost to budget

What audits usually surface

The same three problems, again and again

Across accounts audited so far, these are the findings that repeat most often — and they are usually worth more than any bid adjustment.

#1

Conversion tracking that isn't telling the truth

Double-counted conversions, thank-you pages firing on refresh, or GA4 goals imported on top of native tracking. Every optimisation decision after that point is made on bad data — and the algorithm is optimising toward it.

#2

Spend behind queries that never convert

Search terms accumulating cost across months with zero conversions, usually because negative keyword lists were built once at launch and never revisited. This is the fastest money to recover in most accounts.

#3

Performance Max eating the brand campaign

PMax absorbing branded searches that would have converted anyway, then reporting them as its own success. Without brand exclusions, the reported ROAS looks excellent while incremental revenue stays flat.

How it works

Three steps, one business day

Send the request

Fill in the form with your platforms and your main problem. Then grant read-only access from Admin → Access and security using the customer ID that comes back in the confirmation email.

The account gets reviewed

All 36 checks, worked through personally against your account and your search terms data. No automated scanner, no generic template report.

You get the findings

A written report within 2–4 business hours: what is wrong, what it is costing, and what to do about it, ordered by impact. Yours to keep and act on.

Beyond Google

The same audit, for every platform you run

Most accounts worth auditing are not running on one channel. Name the platforms in your request and they come back in the same report, with cross-channel attribution gaps flagged.

Meta Ads

Campaign structure, creative testing discipline, Conversions API accuracy, audience overlap and frequency.

Amazon Ads

Sponsored Products and Brands structure, search term harvesting, ACOS and TACOS against category benchmarks.

Microsoft Ads

Import hygiene from Google, LinkedIn profile targeting, and the settings that quietly differ between platforms.

ChatGPT Ads

Context hints, geographic targeting and creative format review on OpenAI's Ads Manager, live since May 2026.

Questions

Before you send it

What is a Google Ads audit?
A Google Ads audit is a structured review of an advertising account to find where money is being wasted and where performance is being left on the table. It covers campaign structure, conversion tracking accuracy, search term quality, negative keyword coverage, bidding strategy, budget allocation and landing page alignment. The output is a prioritised list of specific problems, not a general health score.
How much does a Google Ads audit cost?
This audit is free and carries no obligation. You receive the written findings whether or not you decide to work with Adzlance, and you are free to hand them to your existing agency or in-house team.
How long does the audit take?
Written findings are returned within 2 to 4 business hours of access being granted. Accounts spending over $50,000 per month, or running across several countries, can take up to one business day.
What access do you need to my Google Ads account?
Read-only access is enough. You can grant it from Admin, then Access and security, using the customer ID. Nothing in the account is changed during the audit, no campaigns are paused, and access can be revoked at any time.
Do you audit Meta, Amazon and Microsoft Ads accounts too?
Yes. The same audit process is available for Meta Ads, Amazon Ads, Microsoft Advertising and ChatGPT Ads accounts. Mention the platforms you run in the request form and they will be included in the same review.
Is there any obligation to hire you after the audit?
None. The audit is a demonstration of how the account would be managed. If the findings are useful and the fit is right, a conversation follows. If not, the report is yours to keep and act on however you like.
