What is a PPC audit?

A PPC account audit provides a detailed analysis of your Google Ads and/or Bing accounts. PPC audits help you to identify:

• Ads that are performing well
• Ads that are under-performing
• Areas for optimisation and improvement
• Sudden shifts in the market
• Keyword opportunities
• Areas of wasted spend
• What your competitors are doing

Without regular PPC audits, the above information is all too easily lost.

Our PPC audit checklist

Our extensive checks include – but are not limited to – the following:

• Tracking Tracking enables us to recognise which marketing activities are achieving success and more importantly, those which aren’t. By using this data, we are then able to produce informed marketing strategies and recommendations.
• Account settingsWe study the setup of your PPC accounts to ensure that your campaign settings are fully optimised for maximum accuracy and effect.
• Ads and extensionsWe review the number of ads per ad group, while also making sure that all relevant formats are used. We also ensure that ad extensions are assigned and relevant.
• KeywordsWe check that match types are used correctly and aren’t too broad. Plus, negative keywords and search queries are researched to discover new opportunities and interests.
