How Does Ontario SEO Conduct a Google Ads Audit?

Are your Google Ads campaigns wasting your money?

We will conduct a thorough audit of all your Google Ads campaigns using a multi-step process to scrutinize every facet of your Google Ads account.

  • Account settings
  • Campaign structure 
  • Converting keywords

  • Negative keyword lists 
  • Ad Copy and ad performance 
  • Relevance of destination pages for text, imagery, and keywords 
  • Conversion tracking 
  • Google Analytics Linking & Set Up

What is a Negative Keyword and Why Should I Care?

A negative keyword is a search term you exclude from your Google Ads campaign. By adding negative keywords to your campaigns, you can ensure you are being found for the terms you want to be found for, and not related but irrelevant terms. For example, if your business sells beach volleyballs, you may add terms like “Daytona” and “Wasaga” to your negative keyword list to exclude search queries like “Wasaga Beach Volleyball Tournament” and “Daytona Beach Volleyball game”. 

A campaign that is set up without a negative keyword list will waste money. A quick evaluation of your existing account data can often identify many negative keywords you can add to your campaigns. Stop wasting your budget because you’re paying someone who doesn’t take the time necessary to set up and monitor your Google Ads campaigns properly.
