02   What you get back

The audit
matches your business.

The form asks what kind of business so the audit isn't generic. Three flavors, each 5 to 7 pages, free and written by me. Account audits come back within 24 hours of read-only access, the catalog audit within 24 hours of your request.

FLAVOR 01

Home, furniture and decor.

The Catalog Lifestyle Gap Audit. Image-coverage scan, alt-text gap analysis, top 10 SKUs ranked by revenue signal vs imagery investment, two competitor snapshots, one sample lifestyle render of your worst-offender SKU.

For DTC home brands on Shopify.

FLAVOR 02

Service business.

The Lead Quality Audit. Conversion-tracking stack review, primary-conversion signal review, whether booked appointments, not every form fill, reach the ad account as the conversion, top three intake leak points, sample qualified-lead scoring rubric tuned to your vertical.

For law, healthcare, home services, professional.

FLAVOR 03

Other e-commerce or B2B.

The Tracking + Smart Bidding Audit. GTM container audit, GA4 event review, the conversion signal Google Ads + Meta are optimizing against, the top three changes to ship before you spend another dollar. Tuned to your stack.

For apparel, beauty, supplements, B2B services, anything else. Use the form above.

What an audit looks like

Three example pages on the same template I use for every custom audit, filled in for a made-up store so no client’s account is on show. Every page says so. Most real audits run 5 to 7 pages.

Example audit summary page for a made-up store: $48,212 spent in 90 days, a 5.1 return reported by Google Ads against 2.7 in Shopify, a chart of monthly spend against reported purchases and real orders, and the three things to do first. Flagged as an example. (opens a larger view)
Example summary. Three numbers, the trend behind them and the fixes to make first.
Example audit findings page for a made-up store: five findings in order of severity, starting with every purchase being counted twice. Flagged as an example. (opens a larger view)
Example findings, in order of severity. The first one is why the reported return is nearly double the real one.
Example audit Quality Score page for a made-up store: cost-weighted average 6.2, 41.7% of keyword spend rated below average for landing page, with a component table. Flagged as an example. (opens a larger view)
Example diagnostic page. Quality Score broken down by what Google is actually complaining about.

03   Why this audit, not a discovery call

The agency model
starts with a sales call.

The senior who sold you the engagement is rarely the person doing the work. I run this differently. The first thing you get is a written audit you can read on your phone. If the audit is sharp, you book a call to talk through the findings. If it isn't, you keep the PDF and you've saved 30 minutes. No nurture sequence. No three-call discovery dance.

The audit goes to the same operator who would do the work. I write it personally from your account data. That's why it takes 24 hours and not 30 seconds.

It is also independent. I am one person, not an agency, and there is no retainer required after the audit lands. If your current agency runs the budget and you want a read that is not written by whoever is spending it, that is exactly what this is for. The longer answer is at how to get an independent second opinion.

The other audit: the free 25-page Setup Checklist PDF is the do-it-yourself version with no email gate. Google Ads audit cost covers what every audit on the market charges, and why this one is free.

04   Questions

The questions
I get on this.

Is the Google Ads audit really free?

Yes, at any spend level. There’s no retainer attached and no upsell in the memo. It’s free because it’s how I show the work. If it finds things worth fixing, the fix is a one-time project or monthly work, priced on my pricing page, and only if you want it.

What access do you need?

Read-only access to the account. After you send the form, open Admin in Google Ads, then Access and security, click the plus button, enter hi@connercrowe.com and set the access level to Read only. Read only lets me see the account but not change campaigns, budgets or billing, and you can remove it the day the audit lands or set it to expire on a date. If you’d rather use a manager account link, reply with your 10-digit account ID and I’ll send the request, but a manager link gives standard access, not read-only. For Microsoft Advertising or Meta, I’ll email the matching steps.

Which ad platforms does it cover?

Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) and Meta Ads. Ecommerce, service businesses and B2B. The audit is tuned to what you tell me in the form.

How long does it take, and what do I get?

A 5 to 7 page written audit within 24 hours of getting access, as a PDF in your inbox. No call is required to receive it. If you want to talk it through afterwards, the link to book is in the PDF.

Can I get a second opinion on my agency’s work?

Yes, and that’s a good reason to request one. I’m one person, not an agency, and nothing about the audit depends on you leaving them. You get a read that isn’t written by whoever is spending the budget.
