STRATEGIC PPC ACCOUNT AUDIT

PPC audits provide a clear, actionable blueprint for maximising the impact of paid search.

We offer a unique approach that stems from our extensive experience auditing accounts in the top 2% of Google Ads spenders, down to newly launched campaigns for e-commerce start-ups. We’ve built our own methodology that works across six pillars to deliver you digestible insights and recommendations that can truly move the needle.

Making sure you understand our recommendations and how to apply these is key. We’re meticulously efficient with our time and you’ll never receive excessively long slide decks that leave you wondering ‘what’s next?’.

We surface exactly what you want to see and how to leverage change to scale your account, speak to the team today to get find out more.

THE OUTBLOOM WAY

HOW WE WORK

Paid Search effectiveness doesn’t stop at match types and search queries. We take a holistic view, auditing everything from best practice account hygiene to tracking setup and CRM connections.

01

BEST PRACTIcE

Starting with the basics, we review your accounts with a fine-toothed comb, leaving absolutely no stone unturned. For many agencies, this is where the audit process ends. At outbloom, this is only our starting point.

This step will raise questions that require context in order for us to come back to you with useful insights and recommendations. This is where we’ll have our initial review.

02

TRACKING & TAGS

Often, we see issues with tracking – either too little information is parsed, errors occur with tags, or incorrect data is sent back to the engines. With so many accounts relying on bid strategies, clean and full data is an essential piece of any account.

A core element of our audits is reviewing your tracking and tagging setup, ensuring that you’re set up for cross-channel, future-proof success.

03

STRATEGIC VIEW

Although PPC is often one of the largest traffic drivers, there are levers across other earned and owned channels which will aid PPC performance. Often, we’re asked questions such as:

  • How can we scale our revenue?
  • How can we grow our brand searches?
  • How can we decrease CPA?

Auditing your accounts with these questions in mind means that we’re on the lookout for both account opportunities and wider strategic initiatives that help to move the needle.

04

FUTURE PLANNING

As standard, one of our deliverables is a bespoke list of action items based on our findings. However, we’re happy to be flexible depending on what would work best for you.

Some of our clients have requested an additional list of questions that they can ask their paid search agency. Some have asked us to implement the recommendations, and sometimes we work directly with our clients’ agencies to ensure the changes are made in a timely manner.

outbloom will work with you to get the best out of your teams and accounts.

PAID SEARCH AUDIT CAPABILITIES

There’s so much more to PPC than finding keywords and changing budgets. We manage absolutely everything.

HYGIENE

Account hygiene is the heart of your paid search account. We take a fine-toothed comb and find areas of improvement. Often, there are quick fixes that will increase your ROI and reduce wasted spend, in addition to longer-term strategies, which we can help to map out for you.

CONTEXT

Having a clear understanding of the context of your account and the reasons for the audit is crucial for ensuring that the audit process is comprehensive. With a full understanding of changes, structure, and strategy, we are able to provide valuable recommendations, either as part of our consultancy or activation workflows.

TRACKING

Accurately tracking your performance is an essential element of paid search. Whether through a Google or Microsoft Ads pixel, Analytics, HubSpot, Custom CRM (and more), we make sure you’re tracking and assigning value to the correct conversions to ensure the richest data is fed into your account.

CREATIVE

Ensure your brand shines across Google’s inventory with a creative review as part of your Paid Search audit. As assets become more crucial with the launch of campaign types such as Performance Max, it’s more important than ever to ensure that your brand is presented in the best light with top-performing creative.

REPORTING

As part of your Paid Search audit, we will review your PPC reporting to make sure that you are receiving valuable and actionable data. Often, we see gaps in data that could be filled with additional parameters on your Paid Search activity or actionable insights lost due to top-level reporting. Close the reporting black box with outbloom.

OMNICHANNEL

Our omnichannel review helps to ensure that all relevant channels and touchpoints are covered from a creative and technical perspective and to identify any gaps or inconsistencies in the customer journey. We provide valuable insights for improving the performance of paid search campaigns and your overall marketing strategy.

OUR WORK

We have a proven track record of success, with over 20 years of experience in delivering top-level consultancy, strategy, and activation for brands such as Converse, Aesop, New Look, Tommy Hilfiger, Chloé, PlayStation, Esso and more.
