PPC Audit · Durham
PPC Audit in Durham
An independent review of a Durham business's paid advertising accounts. Most audits find the same handful of things, and the largest is almost never bidding — it is conversion tracking measuring something that is not a sale, which means every optimisation since has been aimed at the wrong target.
Why this comes up
The problem
Accounts are managed by an agency and the reporting is reassuring, but the business cannot connect the reported results to actual customers or revenue.
What you get
What we deliver
- Conversion tracking verified end to end, since this is where most audits find the real problem
- Duplicate and inflated conversion counting identified, which flatters every report
- Wasted spend quantified from search terms and placements
- Account structure assessed against what current automation needs
- Overlap between campaigns and channels measured, since it inflates apparent results
- A prioritised list of findings by financial impact, not a list of everything observable

PPC Audit in Durham — common questions
- What do audits usually find?
- Broken or misleading conversion tracking, more often than anything else. If a page view or a duplicate is counted as a conversion, every reported figure is wrong and every automated bid has been optimising toward it — no amount of account tidying fixes that.
- Should the agency audit its own work?
- It is worth having someone independent look. An agency reviewing itself faces an obvious conflict, particularly where the finding is that spend should be reduced. This is not an accusation of bad faith — it is why external review exists in other professions.
- How long does an audit take?
- Days rather than weeks for most accounts. Verifying tracking, reviewing search terms and assessing structure is bounded work. An audit taking a month is usually producing volume rather than findings you would act on.
- What should the output look like?
- A short list ranked by financial impact, with the reasoning shown. A fifty-page document listing every observable setting is easy to produce and hard to act on — the useful version tells you the three things worth doing first.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
