Common PPC Account Challenges

The expensive problems hiding in 90% of PPC accounts.

If you haven't audited your account this month, at least three of these are draining your budget right now. Adtunez catches them automatically.

Challenge 01 — Wasted Spend
01

Keywords burning budget without converting

Almost every PPC account has keywords that are spending hundreds of dollars per month with zero conversions. Sometimes it's broad match gone wrong. Sometimes it's a keyword that converted six months ago and stopped. Either way, the budget keeps flowing until somebody runs an audit.

What Adtunez does: Flags any keyword spending more than 20% of campaign budget without producing conversions. Surfaces the exact list with dollar amounts so you can pause them in seconds.

Challenge 02 — Device Performance
02

Mobile bids out of whack with reality

Most PPC accounts treat mobile and desktop bids identically — even when mobile CPA is 3-6x higher. The result: a slow bleed of budget on the worse-converting device while the efficient device is starved of impression share.

What Adtunez does: Flags every campaign where one device's CPA is 25%+ higher than another, with specific bid adjustment recommendations to rebalance toward efficiency.

Challenge 03 — Missed Growth
03

Converting search terms that aren't even keywords yet

Every PPC account contains search queries that are converting brilliantly through broad match — but haven't been promoted to dedicated keywords yet. These are pure growth opportunities: known intent, proven conversion rate, just sitting there waiting for someone to act.

What Adtunez does: Mines your search terms report for queries that are already converting and surfaces them ranked by potential. Promote them to exact match in one decision.

Challenge 04 — Inventory Sync
04

High-performing products sitting out of stock

For e-commerce PPC, this is the most expensive issue of all. A best-selling product goes out of stock on Tuesday, but the ads keep serving until somebody notices in the inventory report two weeks later. Often these are the products with the highest ROAS — the ones every dollar of ad spend was working hardest for.

What Adtunez does: Cross-references your product feed with performance data and flags any product with strong historical ROAS that's currently unavailable. Often the highest-ROI fix in any e-commerce PPC account.

How pricing scales with your accounts

Active Accounts Only

You're only billed for accounts with ad spend in the last 30 days. Paused or dormant accounts cost nothing.

Spend-Based Scaling

Each account includes up to $10K/month in ad spend. Higher-spend accounts count as multiple billable units.

Volume Discounts

Per-account pricing drops automatically at 21+ ($8) and 51+ ($6) accounts.

Total Billable Accounts Price per Additional Account Savings
1 – 20 accounts $10 / account / month
21 – 50 accounts $8 / account / month Save 20%
51+ accounts $6 / account / month Save 40%
Example: An agency with 15 accounts (3 of which spend $20K+/month) pays $79 base + 13 additional billable accounts × $10 = $209/month — the equivalent of about $14 per managed account, or less than 30 minutes of analyst time.
The Complete Guide

What is a PPC Audit? Everything You Need to Know in 2026

A PPC audit is a systematic review of a pay-per-click advertising account designed to identify wasted spend, structural problems, missed growth opportunities, and conversion tracking issues. A complete PPC campaign audit examines every layer of an account — campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, search terms, devices, and product feeds — looking for the specific patterns that indicate poor performance.

Historically, PPC audit services have been a one-off, manual engagement: hire a consultant or agency, pay $300-$2,500, wait one to three weeks, receive a deck of findings. The model is broken for one simple reason — by the time the audit is delivered, the account has changed, and new issues have appeared. Modern PPC audit software like Adtunez fixes this by performing the audit continuously, automatically, and at a fraction of the cost.

What a Real PPC Campaign Audit Should Cover

An effective PPC campaign audit goes well beyond surface metrics. It examines the relationships between settings, structures, and outcomes to find issues that aren't visible from any single report. A complete audit covers:

  • Wasted spend identification: Keywords burning budget without converting, ads spending at abnormally high CPAs, campaigns serving on irrelevant placements (especially in Performance Max).
  • Device performance review: CPA imbalances between mobile, desktop, and tablet that warrant bid adjustments.
  • Search term mining: Queries already converting but not promoted to dedicated keywords — pure growth opportunities.
  • Account structure audit: Ad groups with too few ads, too many keywords, missing ad extensions, single-ad ad groups.
  • Product feed audit: For Shopping and PMax campaigns, identifying out-of-stock high performers, top-spending unprofitable products, and feed disapprovals.
  • Bid strategy review: Whether automated bidding is appropriate, whether targets are being respected, and whether manual control is being relinquished prematurely.
  • Conversion tracking integrity: Whether conversions are being recorded reliably and attributed correctly across the customer journey.

Manual PPC Audit Services vs. PPC Audit Software

The traditional approach to PPC auditing is to hire a specialist for a one-off review. This worked well a decade ago when PPC accounts had a few campaigns and a handful of keywords. Today, with Performance Max running across the Google network, dynamic search ads, automated bidding, and product feeds with thousands of SKUs, manual audits simply can't keep up.

The math makes the case clear. A typical agency charges between $500 and $2,500 per PPC audit service. At those prices, weekly audits across a 30-account portfolio would cost $60,000 to $300,000 per year — economically impossible. Most teams settle for quarterly audits, which means three months of issues compounding before anyone catches them.

Modern PPC audit tools change this equation entirely. Instead of paying per audit, you pay a small monthly fee per account and receive continuous auditing. Issues are caught within hours of appearing, not months later in a post-mortem. The same comprehensive audit checks that would cost $1,000+ to commission once now run automatically every day.

What Makes Adtunez the Best PPC Audit Tool

There are several PPC management platforms in the market, but most are built around bid management, reporting, or campaign creation. Adtunez is built specifically for one purpose: finding the issues humans should act on. Three things differentiate it:

  • Read-only by design. Adtunez never makes changes to your account. It surfaces issues for your team to review and act on. This makes it safe for agencies, in-house teams, and senior strategists who don't want autopilot tools touching client accounts.
  • Prioritized by financial impact. Issues are ranked by how much they're costing the account in dollars. You fix the $500/month leak before the $5/month one. No noise, no false alarms.
  • Continuous, not periodic. The fundamental difference between Adtunez and traditional PPC audit services is cadence. Adtunez scans every account every day. Issues are caught within hours of appearing.

Whether you're a freelance PPC manager auditing 5 accounts, a digital agency managing 50, or an in-house e-commerce team running a single high-stakes account, Adtunez replaces the expensive, slow, intermittent PPC audit service model with continuous, affordable, comprehensive auditing.

How to Run Your First PPC Audit With Adtunez

Getting started takes less than five minutes. Connect your Google Ads account or MCC via OAuth. Adtunez immediately runs a baseline audit across all 13+ issue categories. You see your first findings — typically dozens of issues in a previously-unaudited account — within ten minutes of connecting.

From there, your team simply reviews the findings, prioritizes by impact, and acts on the highest-leverage ones first. Every issue surfaces with a plain-language explanation of what it is and what to do about it. No PPC expertise required to understand the recommendations — just to execute them.

FAQ

Common questions about PPC audits and Adtunez.

What is a PPC audit?
A PPC audit is a structured review of a pay-per-click advertising account to identify wasted spend, underperforming campaigns, structural issues, and missed opportunities. PPC audits typically cover account structure, keyword performance, ad copy, bid strategies, conversion tracking, and product feed health.
How much does a PPC audit cost?
Manual PPC audit services typically cost between $300 and $2,500 per audit depending on account complexity. Adtunez replaces these one-time costs with continuous auditing — starting at $79/month for up to 5 accounts, then $10 per additional account, with volume discounts at 21+ ($8) and 51+ ($6) accounts. For most agencies, that's less than the cost of a single manual audit.
How long does a PPC campaign audit take?
A thorough manual PPC campaign audit takes between 2 and 4 hours per account. Automated PPC audit software like Adtunez performs the same depth of analysis in minutes and runs continuously instead of one-time.
What's the difference between PPC audit services and PPC audit software?
PPC audit services are typically one-off engagements where a consultant or agency manually reviews your account. PPC audit software automates this same review process and runs it continuously. Software is significantly cheaper per audit, more consistent in quality, and catches issues much faster.
Can Adtunez replace my PPC agency?
No — and that's intentional. Adtunez is a quality assurance and discovery layer, not a replacement for strategic PPC expertise. Many of our customers are PPC agencies themselves who use Adtunez to scale their oversight across more client accounts. The tool finds issues; people decide what to do about them.
How often should I run a PPC audit?
Best practice is continuous auditing — ideally daily for active accounts. Manual audits typically happen quarterly because they're so time-consuming. With automated PPC audit software, daily auditing is the new baseline.
Does Adtunez audit Performance Max campaigns?
Yes. PMax audits are one of Adtunez's strongest features. We surface PMax asset coverage gaps, wasteful placements (like serving on irrelevant mobile gaming apps), and product-level performance problems that Performance Max's reporting hides.
Is Adtunez safe to connect to my account?
Yes. Adtunez is read-only and never makes changes. It uses Google's official OAuth authorization, the same flow as any reporting tool. You retain full control over every change to your account.
