QUICK ANSWER

What is the PPC Audit service?

A PPC audit of ad campaigns, conversion tracking, budgets, bidding, audiences, creatives and landing pages with a specific action plan. With the PPC Audit we start from the economics, the conversion definition and the quality of measurement. Account structure and Conversion tracking are treated as part of a test-and-learn system in which budget moves according to the business outcome, not just platform metrics.

Faster reachWe reach a relevant audience at the right moment and in the right channel.
Budget controlWe optimize spend against quality and business return.
Better learningThe structure allows real testing of audiences, creatives and offers.
Transparent resultsWe work with clear conversions, CPA, ROAS and qualified leads.

SCOPE OF THE SERVICE

What does a PPC Audit include?

Account structure

We use "Account structure" as part of a controlled test with a predefined success/stop criterion.

Conversion tracking

We tie the measurement logic to real business outcomes and validate whether the data is reliable enough for decisions.

Budget allocation

We allocate the budget according to marginal return, learning needs and the real quality of the conversion outcome.

Bidding

We set up the advertising logic according to the objective, audience signal, creative requirements and the way we will evaluate quality after the click.

Audiences / keywords

We set up the advertising logic according to the objective, audience signal, creative requirements and the way we will evaluate quality after the click.

Creative review

We analyze the current state, identify the gaps and order the tasks by impact, risk and required resources.

Landing pages

We use "Landing pages" as part of a controlled test with a predefined success/stop criterion.

Prioritized action plan

We assess the "Prioritized action plan" against the campaign objective, conversion quality and the available learning signal before moving budget.

OUR PROCESS

How PPC Audit work is carried out

  1. 01

    Economics

    We define conversion value, acceptable acquisition cost and how Account structure should support the business objective.

  2. 02

    Signal audit

    We check Conversion tracking, tracking quality and historical data before changing account structure or budget.

  3. 03

    Test design

    We form a hypothesis for Budget allocation and set success, stop and scale criteria in advance.

  4. 04

    Controlled launch

    We launch Bidding with a clean enough structure to understand what really affects the result.

  5. 05

    Optimization

    We change bidding, creative, audience and landing experience according to conversion quality, not a single isolated metric.

  6. 06

    Decision cycle

    We report on the business outcome and decide what to scale, change or stop.

DECISION SUPPORT

When does a PPC Audit make sense?

It is a good fit when

  • There is a measurable offer and a clearly defined conversion action
  • Tracking can capture quality after the click, not just traffic
  • You have a budget for controlled learning, not an expectation of a guaranteed result from a single test
  • We can work on Account structure and landing/creative dependencies at the same time when needed

What you will get

  • An account/campaign plan with a measurable conversion definition
  • A test matrix for audience, creative or offer
  • Clear budget and stop/scale criteria
  • Reporting tied to the business outcome

When will a PPC Audit not solve the problem on its own?

Before starting, we check whether this service is the right next step and which dependencies could limit the result.

  • When the business goal, the offer or the core audience have not yet been defined.
  • When the necessary access, data or a decision-maker for the project are missing.
  • When the problem lies in another layer of the customer journey and measurement, the website, content or inquiry follow-up need to be fixed first.
  • When there is no capacity to implement the recommendations and maintain the changes made.

What determines the scope and price of a PPC Audit?

We do not use a fixed price, because the real scope is determined after reviewing the current state, goals and dependencies. The proposal describes the specific activities, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.

DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT
  • The current state and the diagnosis needed before execution.
  • The number and complexity of the elements in scope, including Account structure and Conversion tracking.
  • The number of markets, languages, channels, systems or integrations.
  • The available content, data, design materials and technical access.
  • The need for a one-off delivery, phased implementation or ongoing work.

How do we determine the timeline?

After the initial review we map the dependencies and divide the work into stages with a verifiable result. The timeline depends on the scope, the readiness of materials, external systems and the speed of feedback. Where possible, we deliver the tasks with the highest business impact first.

What is needed from your side?

We need the relevant access and available data, context about the business and its goals, a decision-maker and timely feedback. At the very start we clarify who provides content, technical help and approvals.
