What Your Free Audit Covers

FREE AUDIT
Account Structure and Spend

We go through your campaigns the way we would if we ran them. Structure, keyword coverage, match types, negatives, ad copy and how your budget is spread across it all.

Then we line your spend up against what it returned, so the waste has nowhere left to hide.

FREE AUDIT
Tracking and Competitor Context

We check whether your conversion tracking is telling Google the truth. When it is not, every automated decision in your account is built on sand.

We also look at who you are bidding against, what they do well, and where you can win searches they are overpaying for.

About Kia Ora Digital

At Kia Ora Digital, we take pride in showing our work before we ask for your budget. The free audit is how most of our paid search clients started, because it proves what we would do differently before you commit to anything.

Why Work With Us?

We put a free audit in front of every engagement, because you deserve proof before you pay anyone a management fee.

Your audit is done by the same team who would run your account, not by a sales tool built to scare you into signing.

We believe in straight answers. If your account is in good shape, we will tell you so and shake your hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have unanswered questions?
Or still wondering whether a Google Ads audit is right for you?

Chat with us
What is a Google Ads audit?

A Google Ads audit is a structured review of your account. Where the budget goes, what it returns, and what is holding performance back.

The end goal is a clear, prioritised list of fixes.

Do I have to hand over my account access?

You grant us read-only access to your Google Ads account and analytics. We cannot change anything, spend anything or touch your billing.

You can revoke access the moment the audit is done.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. No invoice, no card, no obligation.
We do it because it is the fastest way to show you how we think, and enough audits turn into long relationships that the numbers work for us.
Either way, the audit is yours to keep.

Can you audit Shopping and Performance Max campaigns?

Yes. We audit the full Google Ads stack: Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Display and remarketing. For stores that includes your product feed, because that is where Shopping campaigns are won and lost. Whatever mix you run, we will tell you how it is really performing.

What does the free audit include?

Everything we would check before taking over an account ourselves.

These include:

  • Account structure: How your campaigns are organised, and what that structure is costing you.
  • Wasted spend: The searches, placements and settings quietly draining your budget.
  • Conversion tracking: Whether the numbers Google optimises toward are actually true.
  • Ads and landing pages: Whether the click and the page it lands on pull in the same direction.
  • Bidding and budgets: Whether your money is flowing to the campaigns that earn it back.
  • Competitor context: Who you are bidding against and where they are beatable.
  • Priority fixes: The short list of changes we would make first, and why.

If you run ads alongside SEO, we will also flag the searches where you are paying for clicks you already earn.

Claim your free Google Ads audit today.

How long does the audit take?

A few business days from getting access, depending on the size of the account.

You get the findings on a call, walked through in plain English, plus the written version to keep.

What happens after the audit?

You choose. Take the fixes to your current agency, action them in-house, or have us implement them for you.

There is no lock-in either way. The audit stands on its own.

My ads are already managed by an agency. Should I still get an audit?

That is the most common account we audit, and a second pair of eyes is healthy for everyone.

If your agency is doing great work, the audit will say so, and you can relax.

If it is not, better to find out now than after another quarter of spend.

Why is my Google Ads spend not converting?

Wasted spend nearly always traces back to the same handful of problems.

The usual suspects we find in audits:

  • Broad Matching: Your ads show for searches that were never going to buy from you.
  • Missing Negatives: Nothing is filtering out the junk searches that eat budget.
  • Broken Tracking: Google optimises toward the wrong signals, or none at all.
  • Weak Landing Pages: The click was good, the page let it down.

The audit tells you which of these is costing you most, and what fixing them is worth.

Why get your Google Ads audit from Kia Ora?

Because we audit like the team that would have to live with the account afterwards. Here is what you can expect:

  • Experience: We audit accounts across ecommerce, lead generation and local service businesses.
  • Straight Answers: If your account is in good shape, we say so.
  • Ranked Fixes: Every recommendation ordered by what it is worth to you.
  • Search Together: Your ads read alongside your organic and AI Search visibility, not in a vacuum.
  • No Pressure: The audit is yours to keep, whatever you decide next.

With Kia Ora Digital on your side, you will finally know what your ad budget is really doing. Claim your free Google Ads audit today.
