A Health Check For Your Google Campaign

‍

A Google Ads account audit is the process of evaluating the effectiveness of your accounts. An inspection can reveal painful hidden issues that need to be addressed. Completing a Google Ads audit means doing a thorough check of your account and campaigns. I will dig around to find out where your money is spent, where results are coming from, and how it can be improved overall. Audits can uncover where ad spend is wasted and can even lead to new campaign ideas.

What are the common issues in Google Ads?

• Messy campaign naming structure
• Overloading ads in one Ad set
• Lack of tracking and performance evaluation
• Inappropriate channels and locations
• Fail to choose the right bidding options
• Unfamiliar with the latest feature that might be beneficial to the business
