Audit Scope
The Fastest Way to Improve PPC Is Usually to Stop Wasting Money First
Most paid accounts do not need more budget first. They need visibility into what is broken, what is mismeasured, and what should never have been running.
Platform dashboards hide the operational mess
On the surface, CTR and conversion numbers can look acceptable. Underneath, the account may be mixing intent segments, overbidding low-value queries, and optimizing toward incomplete conversion data. A proper PPC audit exposes the operational logic, not just the headline metrics.
Tracking errors make every optimization decision weaker
When the platform reports one number and the CRM reports another, the account is already compromised. An audit catches broken tags, duplicate conversions, missing imports, and attribution gaps before more budget amplifies the problem.
International PPC multiplies waste faster than it multiplies growth
Multiple languages and markets add campaign copies, feed complexity, search-query variation, and audience overlap. If the structure is weak, expansion only spreads the weakness. Audit first, then scale.
Four Diagnostic Layers Inside the PPC Audit
Each module can be ordered separately, but they work best together when the account needs a full decision-ready view.
Account waste analysis
We review campaign structure, spend distribution, keyword targeting, and search term leakage to identify where the budget is being lost.
- + Campaign and ad-group structure review
- + Spend concentration by campaign type
- + Search term waste and exclusions
- + Budget misallocation signals
Tracking and attribution
We validate whether the numbers used for optimization are trustworthy enough to support bidding, budget decisions, and reporting.
- + Conversion event validation
- + Goal import and duplication checks
- + Analytics and CRM alignment
- + Revenue signal integrity review
Structure and intent mapping
We map how search, Shopping, and remarketing scopes should be separated so each one can be governed properly.
- + Intent segmentation review
- + Campaign separation by objective
- + Scope overlap detection
- + Architecture recommendations
Growth roadmap
The audit ends with a practical roadmap: where to fix first, what to rebuild, and what to scale only after the numbers become trustworthy.
- + 90-day priorities
- + Impact-vs-effort ranking
- + Recommended service package
- + Scope sequence for execution

"Running marketing in four languages used to mean four agencies with four processes. Vividigit gave us one operating model across all of them without losing local quality."

Common Questions About the PPC Audit
Scope, delivery, and what happens after the findings are in.
What is included in a PPC audit?
The audit can cover account waste analysis, tracking and attribution review, structure and intent mapping, and a 90-day growth roadmap. You can order one module or combine several into a full diagnostic engagement.
How much does the PPC audit cost?
Entry pricing starts at $300 for a single-platform account audit. Tracking, multi-platform, and multi-market reviews are priced higher because they require more analysis depth and more systems access.
How long does the audit take?
Most PPC audits are delivered within 5-7 business days. Multi-platform or tracking-heavy audits may take longer depending on access, account complexity, and the number of markets involved.
Do you need analytics or CRM access?
For the strongest audit, yes. If we only see platform data, we can diagnose structure and query waste, but we cannot fully validate whether optimization is aligned with real conversions or revenue.
Can the audit cover multiple languages or countries?
Yes. Base pricing assumes one language and one country or region. If the account spans more markets, add them in the order cart or brief us so we can scope the diagnostic correctly.
What is the best next step after the audit?
Usually one or more ongoing PPC scopes: Google Ads Search, Google Shopping, Microsoft Ads, or Remarketing and Display. The audit roadmap tells you which one should come first.
