What Is an Ad Account Analysis Service?
An ad account analysis is a detailed review of your Google Ads and Meta ad accounts in terms of campaign structure, targeting, budget allocation, conversion tracking and performance data. Rather than rebuilding campaigns or managing them day to day, it is an independent audit service focused on identifying why your existing account is not delivering the expected results.
You may be managing your ads yourself or working with another agency. An ad account analysis gives your account an impartial expert evaluation and ensures your next decisions rest on verifiable findings.
Find Out Why Your Ad Budget Isn't Delivering Results
When you are spending on ads but sales, form submissions or calls don't reach the expected level, the problem usually sits in different layers of the account. Wrong targeting, inefficient keywords, faulty conversion tracking and unsuitable bidding strategies can cause budget to be spent without producing conversions.
In an ad account analysis, we use the data to pinpoint which campaigns, ad groups, keywords or audiences are using budget inefficiently. That way, instead of a vague verdict like "ads don't work", we arrive at concrete, measurable reasons that limit performance.
Uncover the Errors and Opportunities in Your Ad Account
Ad accounts that haven't been reviewed thoroughly for a long time can accumulate structural errors and missed opportunities. Missing negative keywords, overlapping audiences, outdated bidding strategies and low-performing campaigns are the main issues that limit ad efficiency.
During an ad account analysis, we review your account at the campaign, targeting and settings level to identify what is hurting performance. We also surface campaigns, audiences and placements with growth potential, so it's clear which steps to prioritize.
Spot Wasted Spend with a Google Ads Account Analysis
In a Google Ads account analysis, we examine campaign structure, keywords, match types, negative keyword coverage, ad copy and bidding strategies in detail. Using the search terms report, we identify spend on irrelevant queries, keywords with low Quality Scores and inefficient ad groups. We evaluate Shopping, Performance Max, Display Network and YouTube campaigns separately and check whether the budget is distributed correctly across campaigns. If you need campaign setup or ongoing management support after the analysis, you can use our Google Ads management service.
Evaluate Your Campaign Efficiency with a Meta Ad Account Analysis
In a Meta ad account analysis, we review the audience structure, creative performance, placement distribution, and Meta Pixel and Conversions API setups of your Facebook and Instagram campaigns. We identify Meta-specific issues such as audience overlap, creative fatigue and budget flowing to inefficient placements. In sales, messaging and lead form campaigns, we assess whether the objective selection is right, the quality of event matching, and whether the learning phase completes efficiently. If you need ongoing management support for your Facebook and Instagram ads, you can explore our Facebook ad management and Instagram ad management services.
What Do We Review in an Ad Account Analysis?
As part of the ad account analysis, we evaluate your account across the following core areas:
We check whether the campaign, ad group and ad set structure is consistent, manageable and scalable.
We check demographic, geographic and interest targeting for audience overlap or unnecessary reach.
In Google Ads accounts, we evaluate match types, negative keyword lists and how well search terms align with campaign goals.
We analyze how well ad copy, images and videos fit the target audience and how much they contribute to conversions.
We check whether Google Ads tags, Meta Pixel, Conversions API and GA4 integrations are producing accurate data.
We evaluate how the budget is distributed across campaigns and whether the bidding strategies in use match your goals.
We check whether the ad message and the destination page are consistent in content, offer and conversion steps.
We compare your ad approach with competitors' visible campaigns and messaging strategies to identify improvement opportunities.

Key findings summarizing the current state of the account
Classification of identified errors by impact and urgency
