What is a Google Ads audit, and why does your account need one?

A Google Ads audit is a systematic review of a Google Ads account to identify wasted ad spend, configuration errors, and missed optimization opportunities. Most Google Ads accounts waste 15–25% of monthly budget on search terms that will never produce a customer — job seekers, DIY hobbyists, competitor brand names converting at zero, supply houses, queries outside your service area.

These aren’t theoretical. They’re sitting in your search terms report right now — adding up to thousands of dollars every month that you’ve already paid for.

Your agency is paid to spend your budget effectively. They’re not paid to save it. Even the best agencies batch-manage 30+ accounts and don’t have time to review every search term line-by-line. SpendSlice does nothing else.

Every month, SpendSlice delivers:

  • Full search-terms audit of every active campaign in your Google Ads account
  • All identifiable waste negated at the account level — pushed live, not just recommended
  • Performance Max brand-exclusion list maintained so PMax stops bleeding to competitor brand searches
  • Strategic flags surfaced for your input — competitor bidding decisions, budget conversations to have with your agency
  • Monthly performance report (PDF, by email) — every dollar verifiable in your Google Ads account
  • Monthly brand-SERP check — we watch for new competitors bidding on your brand name
  • Quarterly 90-day historical review — pulls hidden “Other” search terms that month-to-month reports miss
  • Direct email access to TJ — no support tickets, no junior reps, no waiting

Your existing agency relationship doesn’t change. Your campaign structure doesn’t change. The only thing that changes: less of your budget bleeds to bad searches.

How it works — from interested to first audit, fast

No long sales cycle. No contracts to negotiate. We do the free audit first; you only sign up if we find money worth saving.

Frequently asked questions about Google Ads audits

What is a Google Ads audit?
A Google Ads audit is a systematic review of a Google Ads account to identify wasted ad spend, configuration errors, and missed optimization opportunities. A complete audit reviews search terms, match types, negative keywords, conversion tracking, ad copy, landing pages, bidding strategies, and campaign structure.
How long does a Google Ads audit take?
A standard Google Ads audit takes 3–7 business days to complete for most accounts. Larger accounts with 15+ campaigns may take up to 30 days. The actual review takes a few hours; the rest is careful verification and report generation.
How much does a Google Ads audit cost?
Free one-time audits are widely available (most are surface-level). Comprehensive paid audits range from $500 to $5,000 depending on account size. Monthly ongoing audit services typically cost $297 to $3,497 per month based on ad spend.
Doesn’t my agency already do this?
Probably not at this level. Agencies are paid to spend your budget effectively — not to save it. They also batch-manage 20–40 accounts and don’t have the time to review every search term line-by-line every month. We do nothing else.
How do I know your numbers are real?
Every recommendation includes the exact search term, the exact cost, and the exact campaign. You can verify every line in your own Google Ads account in 30 seconds. No hiding behind aggregate “savings” claims.
Will my agency get defensive?
The good ones thank us. We’re not auditing them — we’re surfacing data they don’t have time to surface. We never name your agency in the report. We’re the independent second set of eyes, not a replacement.
Will my monthly ad bill actually go down?
Probably not — and that’s a good thing. Removing wasted keywords changes what Google spends your budget on, not whether. Same budget, but spent on real customers. If you want cash savings instead, your agency just lowers daily caps proportionally.
What if the savings dry up after a few months?
They don’t. New wasteful queries appear every week because Google’s broad-match algorithm constantly matches to new searches. The leak refills. That’s exactly why this is a monthly service, not a one-time audit.
Does the 3× guarantee apply every month?
No — only the first free audit. If our initial audit doesn’t find 3× our fee in waste, the audit is free and we walk away. Once you onboard, the monthly fee is flat. If value ever drops, cancel in two clicks. No contracts, no penalties.
What access do you need to my Google Ads account?
MCC access — the same setup any Google Ads agency uses. It lets us push negatives and brand exclusions live; it doesn’t touch your billing, your users, or anything outside our scope. You can revoke it in two clicks anytime. We never see your credit card.
