02 · WHAT'S INSIDE · 14 CHECKPOINTS · 4 SECTIONS

The audit, by section.

  1. 01 · CONVERSION SIGNAL LAYER · 5 checkpoints
    What the algorithm sees.

    Conversion event hierarchy. Value assignment. Enhanced conversions + Consent Mode v2. Server-side tracking quality. Offline conversion imports (OCI) — the GCLID round-trip that turns Google Ads from a B2C tool into a B2B one.

  2. 02 · BID STRATEGY FITNESS · 4 checkpoints
    Whether the bidder has enough to optimize against.

    tCPA / tROAS target validity vs. trailing-30-day actuals. Bid strategy maturity (Eligible vs. Learning vs. Limited). Conversion lag accounting — your sales cycle vs. your conversion window. Portfolio bidding structure for accounts with fewer than 50 conversions per campaign per month.

  3. 03 · CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE FOR SIGNAL DENSITY · 3 checkpoints
    Whether your structure feeds the bidder or starves it.

    Match-type and keyword consolidation. Audience signals on Performance Max (Customer Match lists, brand exclusion, anti-cannibalization). Asset group structure — separate asset groups per product / ICP / geo, not one bucket per campaign.

  4. 04 · ATTRIBUTION & REPORTING · 2 checkpoints
    Whether you're optimizing for the right thing.

    Attribution model — data-driven if volume supports it, position-based as the fallback. Brand vs. non-brand separation so blended CPA stops hiding genuinely terrible acquisition performance.

04 · AFTER THE PDF · WHAT'S NEXT

Three paths from 'I ran the audit' to 'I fixed the account.'

PATH 01 · SELF-REBUILD
Use the PDF as the project plan.

Budget 30–60 days. The PDF tells you what's broken and how to fix each one. The only cost is time.

PATH 02 · $129 DIAGNOSTIC
One-time written audit.

Eight specialist agents run the Smart Bidding audit plus 21 more GTM modules (positioning, channels, competitors, angles). 22-module written report, 24-hour delivery. If it confirms you're already running well, you saved $3,500/mo on a service you don't need. If it surfaces fixable issues, you have a written remediation plan.

PATH 03 · REBUILD (DONE-FOR-YOU)
We run your accounts.

Three tiers based on monthly ad spend — Solo $3,500/mo (under $25K spend), Scale $6,500/mo ($25K–$75K), Enterprise $12,000/mo ($75K+). Action-gated guarantee: we beat your trailing 90-day blended CPA by 20% within 90 days, or we work for free until we do.
