Strategy & Audit — the outside view that pays back

Before pouring budget into new campaigns, we verify what's working and what's burning money. Standalone audit or first phase of a longer engagement. Either way, you get a written report that's actually useful.

Context

Audits that aren't just for show

"A Google Ads audit" usually means an Optmyzr scan or a 50-page PDF with recommendations like "add negative keywords". That's not an audit — it's a template.

Our audit is two to three weeks of business-deep immersion. We look beyond the Google Ads UI: tracking, landing pages, CRM data, competitive landscape, unit economics.

You don't get "recommendations" — you get a prioritised action plan: what to do immediately to stop bleeding budget, what to do over the next 30 days for growth, what to do over the quarter to scale safely.

What we deliver

What's in a full audit

— 01

Account structure analysis

Campaign, ad-group, network, audience structure review. Detection of overlap, cannibalisation, ineffective segmentation.

— 02

Bidding strategy review

Does the bidding strategy match conversion volume? Is tCPA / tROAS configured correctly? Where to migrate to portfolio strategies?

— 03

Tracking & data integrity

Are conversions duplicated? Is value tracked correctly? Enhanced Conversions in place? Cross-channel attribution working?

— 04

Search query analysis

Real share of relevant queries. How much budget goes to irrelevant traffic. Opportunities for new campaigns from search-term data.

— 05

Creative & landing-page audit

Ad text quality, asset performance, landing-page-to-intent fit, UX bottlenecks.

— 06

Competitive landscape

Auction Insights review, competitive creative analysis, share-of-voice estimation, gap analysis by query category.

Honest fit

Right for whom

Good fit if

  • Spending €3,000+ / month on Google Ads and unsure of ROI
  • Looking to in-house PPC and need an independent expert view
  • Preparing to switch agencies and want an objective baseline
  • Planning to 2–3× scale and want a low-risk plan
  • Entering a new market — media plan and strategy before launch

Not a fit if

  • Spending under €1,500 / month — full audit is overkill, a Search-only audit is more proportional
  • Looking for "magic" recommendations without supporting data
  • Not willing to invest team time in discovery and defence sessions
