Independent Digital Campaign Audit

Your agency claims they’re “optimising”? I check whether you’re burning 15–20% of your budget.

In 7 days you get an independent audit of your Google Ads or Meta Ads campaigns — I show you where the money is going and what to fix to increase your ROAS.

No commitment · I'll tell you upfront whether an audit makes sense for your budget

He found that 35% of the budget was going to campaigns with zero conversions. We switched them off and reallocated to Shopping and Performance Max. ROAS went from 2.1:1 to 3.8:1 in 30 days.

The problem

Your agency will never admit
it’s burning your budget

You pay every month for campaign management but ROAS is flat or falling. You get reports packed with metrics but no concrete conclusions. You sense something is wrong — but you don't know where to look. This is the typical scenario.

01
The agency is judge in its own case
It will never show you that 20% of your budget is going on keywords with zero conversions — or that your creatives stopped working a month ago. This is a pure conflict of interest. Their revenue depends on your budget, not your ROAS.
02
You hear “we’re optimising”, you see no results
You don't know whether the problem lies in the creative, the targeting, the landing page, or simply a lack of competence. Without an independent diagnosis you have no leverage — and no basis for changing direction.
03
You’re losing twice — budget and customers
You're wasting money on ineffective clicks while potential customers go to your competitors. Every day without an audit is a measurable loss — not an abstraction, but a concrete number in the red column of your budget.
Real example: In one e-commerce audit I found that over €1,150 across 90 days had been spent on search queries that generated zero conversions. The agency was reporting this as "increased traffic." That is exactly the difference between a report and an audit.
Scope

What you get

A precise, data-driven analysis — not "everything is broken." It ends with a prioritised list: what to fix immediately, what to improve strategically, and what to leave alone because it's already working.

01
Account & campaign structure
I check whether campaigns are cannibalising each other and whether they're using the platform's full potential — Performance Max, Advantage+, correct keyword match types.

Example issue: A Search campaign and a Performance Max campaign targeting the same terms — budget cannibalisation, higher CPC for both.

02
Targeting & exclusions
I analyse whether you're reaching the right people and whether you're burning budget on low-intent traffic — informational queries, competitor branded terms, "research intent" keywords.

Example issue: No negative keywords — the campaign is showing for "free", "how to DIY", "reviews" — zero purchase intent.

03
Creative analysis
I evaluate ads (images, video, copy) through the lens of performance: hook strength, message clarity, CTA effectiveness. You get concrete A/B test concepts.

Example issue: The same creative running for 6 months — CTR dropped from 3.5% to 1.2% and nobody noticed.

04
Budget & scaling
I identify campaigns with scaling potential and those that need their budget cut immediately.

Example issue: A Display campaign with ROAS 0.6:1 is receiving 30% of the total budget — €310/month going straight to losses.

05
Prioritised action plan
A task list with three priority levels — each with a description of the issue, the recommendation and an estimated impact on ROAS or CPC:
  • Quick Wins — implement within 48h, highest impact
  • Strategic actions — implement within 2 weeks
  • Long-term recommendations — backlog, nice-to-have
06
Audit review session (1.5h)
We go through all findings and the action plan together. You leave with complete clarity — you know exactly what to tell your agency or team and in what order to implement it.

What if the problem isn't the ads?

Sometimes the campaigns are working perfectly.
The landing page isn’t converting.

If the campaign audit shows your ads are bringing in the right people but sales are still missing — the problem is one step further down the funnel.

Digital Campaign Audit

Are my ads effectively attracting the right people?

Focuses on what happens before the click.

  • Campaign and account structure
  • Targeting and negative keywords
  • Ad creatives
  • Budget allocation and bidding

If during the campaign audit we discover that the ads are performing well but on-site conversion is low — I'll recommend the UX & Conversion Audit as the natural next step. They're two sides of the same coin.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Great — if that's really the case. An audit is independent verification and a second pair of eyes. Even strong specialists can fall into routines or miss things they're too close to see.

Think of it like a technical inspection at an independent garage. And if I find issues — you have solid evidence for your next conversation with the agency.

Absolutely not. The goal of the audit is to improve results, not to assign blame. You get a concrete action plan you can hand to your current agency to implement.

If the agency refuses to act on the recommendations or doesn't understand them — that's a clear signal it might be time for a change. But that's your call.

I need read-only access — analyst level in Google Ads or analyst in Meta Business Manager. I cannot make any changes to the account.

The access is temporary and you can revoke it at any time. Standard procedure — completely safe.

Start with the one you're spending the most on. That's where the potential savings and gains will be greatest.

If you're spending similarly on Google Ads and Meta Ads — the bundle saves you €450 and includes a cross-channel analysis you won't get from a single-channel audit. I'll help you decide on the diagnostic call.

An audit makes sense if you're spending at least €1 200/mo on one channel or €2 500/mo combined. Below that threshold the savings may not cover the audit cost within a reasonable timeframe.

On the free diagnostic call I'll tell you honestly whether an audit makes sense for your budget — before you buy anything.

Based on my audits, typical waste runs at 15–25% of budget. The most common sources of loss:

  • Campaigns with ROAS below 1:1 — you're losing more than you're making
  • No negative keywords — paying for clicks with no purchase intent
  • No A/B testing of creatives — CTR declining, nobody monitoring it
  • Wrong allocation between campaign types — budget in the wrong place

I'll give you an estimated savings potential on the diagnostic call — before you commit to the audit.
