Google Ads Audit
A Google Ads audit is a thorough evaluation of your existing ad campaigns to identify areas for improvement and optimization. The goal is to maximize ROI by refining targeting, improving ad performance, and reducing wasted spend. Here’s what goes into a typical Google Ads audit:
Account Structure Review:
Evaluate how your campaigns, ad groups, and keywords are organized for clarity and effectiveness.
Keyword Analysis:
Check for the use of relevant keywords, negative keywords, and identify any underperforming or irrelevant keywords.
Ad Copy Review: Analyze the effectiveness of your ad copy, including headlines, descriptions, and calls to action, ensuring they are optimized for engagement and conversions.
Targeting Settings:
Assess your audience targeting, including demographics, location, and device settings, to ensure your ads are reaching the right audience.
Bidding Strategy: Review your bidding strategy to ensure you’re using the most efficient method, whether it’s manual, automated, or a combination of both.
Quality Score: Analyze Quality Scores to identify opportunities for improving ad relevance, landing page experience, and click-through rates.
Ad Extensions Usage: Check if you’re using all relevant ad extensions (sitelinks, callouts, call extensions, etc.) to increase ad visibility and provide additional information.
Conversion Tracking: Ensure that conversion tracking is properly set up and aligned with your business goals, so you can accurately measure performance.
Landing Page Experience: Review landing pages to ensure they are optimized for user experience, speed, and relevance to the ad copy, which impacts Quality Score and conversions.
Budget Allocation:
Evaluate whether your budget is allocated properly across campaigns, ensuring that high-performing ads receive the right amount of investment.
Target Audiences
Target audiences in Google Ads refer to specific groups of users who are most likely to be interested in your products or services. By segmenting and targeting these audiences, you can improve your market share by tailoring your ads to reach the right people at the right time. This enhances the relevance and effectiveness of your campaigns, which are some of the best ways to increase engagement.

Demographic Targeting: By analyzing factors like age, gender, location, and income, I refine your campaigns to target the most relevant demographics for your business.
Behavioral Targeting: Using insights into users’ online behavior, interests, and purchase intent, I tailor ads to those most likely to engage with your products or services.
Custom Audiences: I create custom audiences based on your existing customer data or specific parameters, targeting those most similar to your current customer base.

Life Events Targeting: I use life event targeting to reach audiences experiencing major life milestones, such as moving, getting married, or graduating, offering timely and relevant ads.
Remarketing: I retarget users who have interacted with your website but haven’t converted yet, keeping your brand top of mind and encouraging them to complete their purchase.
Location-Based Targeting: For businesses serving specific regions, I focus on location targeting to reach potential customers within a defined geographic area.
Ad Scheduling: I optimize the timing of your ads to ensure they appear when your target audience is most likely to be searching for your services.
Landing Page Experience
The landing page experience is a critical factor in your Google Ads performance. It refers to how well your website’s landing page meets the expectations of users after they click on your ad. A good landing page should be relevant, easy to navigate, SEO-optimized, and optimized for conversions. Google evaluates your landing page experience to determine your Quality Score, which affects your ad rankings and cost-per-click (CPC). Improving your landing page experience can lead to better user engagement and higher conversion rates.
Relevance to Ad Copy: Ensure the content on your landing page directly matches the message and promise in your ad, keeping it consistent to meet user expectations.
Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): Use a clear and compelling CTA that guides users toward the desired action, such as signing up, purchasing, or contacting you.
Mobile-Friendly Design: Optimize your landing page for mobile devices, ensuring it loads quickly and is easy to navigate on smaller screens.
Fast Page Load Speed: Improve your landing page’s load time by compressing images, using a reliable hosting service, and minimizing unnecessary code or scripts.
User-Friendly Navigation: Ensure your landing page is simple to navigate, with minimal distractions and a clear path to conversion.
Engaging Visuals and Copy: Use high-quality visuals and concise, persuasive copy to grab the user’s attention and clearly communicate the value of your offer.
Trust Signals: Include trust-building elements such as client testimonials, reviews, certifications, or security badges to increase credibility.
Minimal Distractions: Reduce clutter and distractions such as unnecessary links, pop-ups, or excessive information that could pull users away from the primary goal of the page.
A/B Testing: Run A/B tests on different elements of your landing page (such as headlines, CTAs, and visuals) to identify what performs best. Use screen recording and analysis tools like Clarity or Hotjar to track user behavior and understand how visitors interact with your page, making data-driven decisions for improvements.
Ad Extensions and Sitelinks
Google Ads assets, previously known as extensions, are additional pieces of information you can add to your ads to provide more value and improve visibility. These assets help you highlight key details about your business, products, or services, including options for users to make phone calls, making your ads more informative and engaging. One of the most popular extensions is the Sitelink Extension, which allows you to add extra links to specific pages on your website, giving users more options to engage with your content.
Sitelink Extensions: Add extra links below your ad that direct users to specific pages on your website, such as your services, contact page, or promotions.
Callout Extensions: Highlight key selling points or offers such as “Free Shipping,” “24/7 Customer Support,” or “Limited Time Offer” to make your ad more appealing.
Structured Snippet Extensions: Provide additional information in a structured format, such as a list of product categories, services, or brands offered.
Call Extensions: Add your phone number to your ad, allowing users to call your business directly with a single click, which is particularly effective for mobile users.
Location Extensions: Display your business address and map link to encourage users to visit your physical store or office, helping local businesses drive foot traffic.
Price Extensions: Show product or service prices directly in your ad, giving users a quick overview of what you offer and driving more qualified traffic.
App Extensions: Include a direct link for users to download your mobile app from Google Play or the App Store, increasing app downloads directly from your ad.
Promotion Extensions: Highlight special promotions or sales, such as discounts or limited-time offers, to attract users looking for deals.
Lead Form Extensions: Allow users to fill out a form directly from your ad to express interest in your business, ideal for lead generation campaigns.
Image Extensions: Add images to your text ads to make them more visually appealing and help your ad stand out in search results.
