The challenge

Spending big on paid. No proof of return.

A business owner reviewing a Google Ads dashboard with rising spend

Your paid spend climbs every quarter. PPC should produce revenue, not just impressions, clicks, and a monthly report.

You do not need a bigger budget. You need to know it is working.

Every month you wait is another month of paid spend you cannot trace to revenue.

Sound familiar?

  • You cannot name your true cost per sale from paid.

  • Your Google Ads and paid social run through an agency with no revenue attribution.

  • Dashboards full of clicks and conversions. No proof they become revenue.

  • You ask if the ad spend is working. “It’s working” is all you get.

  1. Wasted spend

    Every campaign, keyword, and placement. Where the money leaks, and where to stop.

  2. What works

    Measured by revenue, not clicks or conversions.

  3. Account structure

    Bidding, targeting, creative, and tracking graded on evidence. Fix, rebuild, or bring in-house.

  4. Attribution check

    Every lead traced from click to revenue, so you know what each dollar returns.

  5. Roadmap

    What to fix first, in priority order. Yours to keep.

The scope

What the paid media audit checks.

Every paid platform carrying real spend, and every lever inside it. Each one graded on what it returns, not what it reports.

Platforms we audit

  • Google Ads
  • Local Services Ads
  • Angi
  • Meta and social ads
  • AI chat ads
  • Streaming and CTV
  • Any channel with real spend
  • Search terms and keywords

    What people actually typed, what you paid for it, and which terms never turn into revenue. Match types, negatives, and queries that only burn budget.

  • Campaign structure

    How campaigns, ad groups, and budgets are split. Whether the money sits where the margin is, or where it was set up years ago.

  • Bidding and budgets

    Bid strategies, targets, and pacing. Whether automation is chasing cheap conversions or real revenue.

  • Performance Max and automation

    What automated campaigns are really buying. Brand searches you would have won anyway, retargeting, or new demand.

  • Conversion tracking

    Every conversion action checked. Duplicates, soft goals, and calls or forms that never reach the CRM.

  • Lead platforms

    Local Services Ads and Angi graded on lead quality, disputed leads, and what each lead costs once it closes.

  • Audiences and targeting

    Geography, devices, schedules, and audiences across search, social, streaming, and chat. Spend reaching the wrong people, place, or time.

  • Creative and landing pages

    Ads, offers, and the pages they send traffic to. Where clicks die before they become leads.

After the audit

One team owns the paid outcome.

The audit finds the leaks. Phase Two fixes them. It depends on one thing:

Does anyone already own marketing where you are?

You have a marketing leader.

We run paid underneath them. Vendors held to results, tracking kept honest, roadmap driven in priority order.

Your leader keeps the seat.

No one owns marketing.

We step in as your fractional CMO. Strategy, vendors, tracking, roadmap.

One team, spend to revenue.

Scoped and priced from what the audit found. Only when it fits. No blanket retainer.

Questions, answered.

Book your audit call
What is a PPC audit?

A full review of your paid media: Google Ads, paid social, and any other paid channel. We map where every dollar goes, grade account structure, bidding, targeting, creative, and tracking on evidence, and check whether a click can be traced to revenue. You get the Findings and Roadmap: what is working, what is wasted, and what to fix first, in priority order. Yours to keep, hire us or not.

Is this a Google Ads audit or a full paid media audit?

Both. We audit Google Ads in depth, and we cover the full paid media picture: Local Services Ads, Angi, social, streaming, AI chat ads, and any other channel carrying real spend. The methods are the same across channels: trace spend, grade structure, tie every click to revenue.

What happens on the call?

A short fit conversation about your paid accounts. Which platforms you run, roughly what you spend, what we would need to see, and your questions answered. No pitch.

How is this different from the free audit my agency offers?

An agency audit tends to point at the things it can then sell you. Ours is independent. We grade every channel and vendor on evidence, including the agency running your paid, and we hold each dollar to revenue. No black box, and your accounts stay yours.

Do you work with our current agency or vendors?

Yes. We grade the agency and every platform it runs on evidence, not on its own reporting. If the account is well run, keep them. We only change what the audit proves out.

What happens after the audit?

Phase Two, scoped from your Roadmap, only when it fits. We run paid under your marketing leader, either managing the accounts or holding your current agency to the numbers. Or we step in as your fractional CMO.

What does the PPC audit cost?

The audit is a paid engagement, and it tends to pay for itself: $10K+ a month in savings found on average. If we do not find opportunities to help during the audit, you get a full refund. Any work after it is scoped and priced from the findings, only when it fits. No blanket retainer.

Is there a minimum spend?

The gate is $15K+ a month on paid. Below that, the savings rarely cover the work. At or above it, a PPC audit almost always pays for itself.
