Delivery roadmap

How we deliver Google Ads Data Quality Audit.

Step 01

Conversion action inventory

Every conversion action in your account is catalogued with its status, category, attribution model, and whether it is designated as primary or secondary.

Step 02

Tag implementation review

Conversion tags in GTM are reviewed for correct trigger logic, duplicate tags, and data layer value mapping at each conversion point.

Step 03

Duplicate and overlap analysis

We identify conversion actions that count the same user action more than once and document the campaign performance impact of each duplicate.

Step 04

Smart Bidding signal assessment

Revenue value completeness, conversion action volume, and Enhanced Conversions status are assessed against Smart Bidding's data requirements.

Step 05

Prioritised findings

Issues are ranked by impact on Smart Bidding performance, with specific remediation steps for each.

Overview

How to know if you need a Google Ads Data Quality Audit

  • Smart Bidding performance has declined and you cannot identify a clear cause in campaign structure or budget changes.
  • Multiple people or agencies have made changes to the account's conversion tracking over time and you are not confident it is still correct.
  • You suspect duplicate conversion actions are inflating reported conversion volume and distorting your performance metrics.
  • Revenue values are missing or incorrect for some conversion actions, which limits Smart Bidding's ability to optimise for value.

What the Google Ads Data Quality Audit covers

  • Full inventory of every conversion action in the account with status, category, attribution model, and primary/secondary designation.
  • Tag implementation review in GTM: correct trigger logic, duplicate tags, and data layer value mapping at each conversion point.
  • Duplicate and overlap analysis identifying conversion actions that count the same user action more than once.
  • Smart Bidding signal quality assessment: revenue value completeness, conversion volume, and Enhanced Conversions status.

Google Ads Data Quality Audit outcomes

  • A complete picture of your conversion tracking health with every issue prioritised by its impact on campaign performance.
  • A prioritised remediation list with specific fixes for each issue, not a generic checklist.
  • Clarity on which conversion actions are actually reliable and which are feeding Smart Bidding bad data.

Google Ads Data Quality Audit scope and hours

  • 4-8 hours.
  • Read access to the GTM container is required alongside Google Ads account access.
  • At least 30 days of conversion data is needed to assess Smart Bidding signal quality.

What makes our Google Ads Data Quality Audit different

  • We review the GTM implementation alongside the Google Ads account, not just the conversion action configuration in isolation.
  • Every issue is prioritised by its actual impact on Smart Bidding performance, so you know where to act first.
  • You don't get a checklist of things to look at. You get a specific finding and a specific fix for each issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a duplicate conversion action?
A duplicate conversion action counts the same user action (e.g. a purchase) more than once, either through two separate tags firing on the same event or through the same conversion action being imported from GA4 and set up natively in Google Ads simultaneously. Duplicates inflate conversion volume and distort Smart Bidding.
Will you fix the issues found during the audit?
The audit covers findings and a prioritised remediation plan. If you want us to implement the fixes, that is a separate engagement we can scope after the audit.
What access do you need?
Read access to your Google Ads account and read access to your GTM container. We do not need edit access to the account or container to run the audit.
How is this different from the Google Ads Conversion Tracking Setup service?
The audit identifies what is wrong with your existing setup. The Conversion Tracking Setup service builds or rebuilds the implementation from scratch. The audit often precedes or replaces the setup service, depending on how much of the existing implementation can be salvaged.
What if Enhanced Conversions is not set up?
We flag it as a gap in the audit report. Setting it up is within the Google Ads Enhanced Conversions service, which can be scoped separately after the audit.
