The scope

What we review in your account.

8 topics reviewed, from the account to measurement. For each one, what we check.

  • Split between Search, Performance Max, Shopping and Demand Gen

The actions that drive bidding, and how reliable they are.

The right time

When to run an audit?

An audit helps you make a decision: fix, restructure or invest more. These situations come up often.

Acquisition cost is drifting

Results are getting worse with no visible change in the campaigns, and no one can say why.

The numbers no longer match

The platform, the analytics tool and the back office no longer tell the same story.

A team or agency is changing

A shared assessment before taking over campaign management, rather than assumptions.

Budgets are about to increase

Check that structure and measurement hold up before investing more.

Our method

From first look to roadmap.

A single audit in three stages, ending with an action plan shared with your teams.

Why JAAB

An audit by the people who run campaigns.

JAAB audits are carried out by the team that manages more than €20 million in campaigns across ten ad platforms, from Google and Meta to TikTok, LinkedIn and ChatGPT. Our recommendations are based on what we apply ourselves.

JAAB works with more than fifty international clients, with a 97% recommendation rate. The agency was founded in 2023 by two former Google and Twitter employees and now has a team of seven.

We prefer to manage for margin rather than for the ROAS reported by the platform: an audit also looks at what the campaigns really bring in.

FAQ

Google Ads audit, in practice.

01What does a Google Ads audit include?

An analysis of the account and everything around it: campaign structure, conversions, search terms, bidding, budgets, ads, product feed and landing pages. It ends with a presentation deck, a prioritization and remediation roadmap, and a presentation to your teams.

02What do you look at before getting access to the account?

What is visible from the outside: your ads in the Google Ads Transparency Center, your landing pages, the consent banner and the site's tags. This first look focuses the audit before access is requested.

03What access do I need to give for the audit?

Access to the Google Ads account and, depending on the topics, to Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Merchant Center. Google Ads offers a read-only access level.

04What do you receive at the end of the audit?

A presentation deck of the findings, a prioritization and remediation roadmap, and a presentation to your teams.

05Can Google Ads be audited along with other ad platforms?

Yes. Each audit addresses a specific need, and a full audit can cover all your platforms and tracking.

06Does the account remain your property?

Yes. The ad account remains the client's property, during the audit as during an ongoing engagement.
