What is a Paid Search Audit?

A Paid Search Audit is a thorough analysis of your paid search campaigns across platforms like Google, TikTok, and other PPC platforms. It examines the structure, performance, and efficiency of your ads to determine where improvements can be made. Whether you're running Google Ads, Google Shopping Ads, or TikTok Shopping Ads, a PPC audit helps identify bottlenecks, missed opportunities, and ways to improve your overall campaign performance.

At Cum Laude, we use advanced tools and methodologies to conduct audits that cover all aspects of your paid search efforts, including keyword targeting, ad copy, bid strategies, budget allocation, conversion tracking, and more.

Why Are Paid Search Audits Important?

Running a paid search campaign without regular audits is like driving a car without ever checking the engine. Over time, your campaigns can become inefficient, wasting budget on non-converting traffic, or targeting the wrong audience. A comprehensive PPC audit ensures that your campaigns are performing at their highest potential.

Here's why a Paid Search Audit is crucial:

Identify wasted spend: An audit can uncover areas where your budget is being spent inefficiently, such as on underperforming keywords or poorly targeted audiences.

Improve conversion rates: By identifying gaps in your ad copy, targeting, or landing pages, an audit can help increase the number of users who convert after clicking on your ads.

Enhance ROI: A well-executed audit allows you to optimize your campaigns to ensure you're getting the best return on investment (ROI) for every pound spent on ads.

Stay ahead of competitors: The digital landscape is constantly changing, and what worked last year may not be effective now. A paid search audit helps you adapt and stay ahead of your competitors.
