Our Social Media Ads Audit Process

Conducting a social media ads audit for our clients involves several key steps to ensure a thorough evaluation:

  1. Initial Audit Briefing/Consultation: We begin with a briefing session to gather key information to better understand your objectives, whether it’s increasing brand awareness, driving more sales, or improving lead quality. We also find out more about about your business including your target markets, competitors, keywords if you are doing a search campaign, and any specific areas of concern.
  2. Ad Account Review: We dive into your account, analysing key metrics and performance indicators that matter most to your business. We evaluate everything from your account structure to your targeting settings, ensuring your campaigns are aligned with best practices and industry standards.
  3. Creative Analysis: we don’t stop there. We also look at the creative side of your ads. Is your messaging resonating with your target audience? Are your ads compelling enough to stand out in a competitive marketplace? We provide actionable insights on how to improve your ad copy and creatives to increase engagement and click-through rates.
  4. Budget Analysis: One of the most valuable aspects of our audit is identifying wasted spend. Inefficient keyword targeting, poorly optimised bidding strategies, and irrelevant ads can drain your budget without delivering results. Our audit will help you eliminate these inefficiencies, allowing you to reallocate your budget to the areas that generate the best returns.
  5. Detailed Report: After completing the audit, we provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations. This report isn’t just a list of issues; it’s a roadmap to better performance. We offer clear, actionable steps you can take to improve your Google Ads campaigns immediately.
