Budget, tracking, structure

An uncompromising Google Ads, GTM, and analytics-ecosystem audit.

Most Google Ads accounts lose 20% to 45% of the budget on the wrong queries, a distorted conversion measurement, and cannibalization inside the campaigns. Our engineering audit is not an automatic checklist report. It is a close reading of the auction and of how tight the data is.

An automatic checklist report does not see this.

A typical agency audit runs the account through a free auditor and a template whose advice is “turn on Google suggestions” or “add extensions”.

  1. 1

    Whether Performance Max eats the brand

    Cheap traffic from existing customers should not be bought a second time.

  2. 2

    Whether conversions are duplicated

    The same transaction, or a missing order-id deduplication, inflates the result.

  3. 3

    Whether the target chokes the auction

    A Target ROAS or a Target CPA that is too tight cuts off profitable auctions.

Scope

Four layers of the audit.

GTM, consent, GA4

Measurement

Whether Consent Mode v2 collects signals, or cuts tracking off in the EU.

Whether enhanced conversions pass SHA-256 to Google Ads.

Trigger loops, duplicate purchase and lead events, and errors in the dataLayer.

Whether orders land on PayU, Przelewy24, or the bank instead of on the campaign.

Cannibalization

Architecture

Search against Performance Max and the product campaigns.

Whether broad match pulls in informational traffic.

Whether the group, the responsive ad, and the landing page say the same thing.

30, 60, and 90 days

Queries and placements

Queries that spend and have not a single conversion.

Whether jobs, logins, reviews, guides, and free samples were excluded.

Display and YouTube: children's apps, games, and sites built to catch the ad.

Lost impressions

Bids and budget

Lost impression share from budget and from rank.

Whether Target ROAS and Target CPA are too cautious, or unrealistic for the funnel.

Where a higher budget raises profit in a straight line, and where it eats the margin.
