Measurement
Can the numbers be trusted
A primary goal that forgets every click after a day
Primary conversion actions whose click window is one day or less, so a customer who comes back the next day is never counted. Where Oppy cannot fix it, the finding says what does.
A primary goal that forgets every click after a day: How it decides and what to doThe same result counted by more than one action
Two actions in the same category that both recorded in the same window. Asked as a question with both numbers, because the same account can report very different sales depending on which action is primary.

Structure
How it is built and set
Buying clicks from people who are not in the country
Location set to people 'in or interested in' a place, Google's default. Someone abroad reading about your city counts as your market, and with no location at all a campaign serves worldwide.
Buying clicks from people who are not in the country: How it decides and what to doPerformance Max with nothing stopping it buying your brand
Performance Max with no brand exclusion list. Left alone it wins your own name cheaply and books those sales as its own, while brand Search falls.

Spend
Where the money goes
Searches taking money with nothing back
Searches that took money and returned nothing, judged on the account's own numbers. Your brand is never named, and searches for competitors you listed are proposed as negatives on every Search campaign.
Searches taking money with nothing back: How it decides and what to doA campaign that runs out of budget most days
A campaign that runs out of budget on most days it runs: a budget decided once and never revisited. Separate from lost impression share, which measures how much is missed, not how often.
A campaign that runs out of budget most days: How it decides and what to doA ROAS target set without knowing the margin
A ROAS target set without a known margin. Prints the margin at which that target breaks even, so you see at once whether it is ambitious or quietly losing money.

Ads
What people see
An ad test with a real winner
An ad test with a real winner, by the arithmetic rather than by eye. Silent on most accounts, which is why it can be trusted when it speaks.

Grader, toolkit or operator?
Audit tools come in three kinds. A grader gives a score per area in a minute, which is a fair first look. A toolkit gives a specialist faster ways to find and fix problems, and the specialist does the work.
An operator does the reading itself, every week, and turns each finding into a change it applies once you approve. Optizads is the third kind. See how it compares with other options.

What does a Google Ads audit tool do?
It reads a Google Ads account and flags what costs money or loses results: tracking errors, wasted spend, capped budgets, weak ads and risky default settings. The better ones show the evidence for each finding.
Are free graders enough?
For a first look, often yes. A grade tells you where to look, not what to change. An audit with evidence names the searches, keywords and settings involved, and what to do about each.
How many checks does Optizads run?
107, across ten areas from conversion tracking to auction insights. Each runs only where it applies, and each has its own page entry with what it looks for.
Does it work for agencies with many accounts?
Yes. Select accounts in the table and start their audits in one move. Each account is also audited again every week by itself.
