B2B Paid Media Audit
The Second Opinion Your Ad Account Deserves
A full diagnostic of your Google, LinkedIn, Meta, or Microsoft ad account. We do the benchmarking, prioritization, and build a roadmap you can act on.
A Paid Media Audit Built for B2B
You’re spending real money on paid media. But is it working as hard as it should be?
Our Paid Media Audit is a comprehensive review of your active ad accounts—conducted by senior strategists, not junior analysts running a checklist, and not AI’s best guess. We benchmark your performance against industry standards, dig into account structure and tracking health, and hand you a clear, prioritized set of recommendations for where your budget is being wasted and where it’s being underused.
No sales pitch disguised as a report. Just an honest look at what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next.
Paid Media for B2B is Different
B2B paid media doesn’t behave like ecommerce, and most audits don’t account for that. Ours is built around the challenges that actually shape B2B account performance
Small, high-value audiences
B2B’s small, high-value audiences break the automated bidding systems built for scale.
We find out whether your setup is working with those constraints or fighting them.
Long sales cycles, weak Conversion signals
Long sales cycles leave ad platforms optimizing on form fills instead of pipeline.
We check whether your CRM data is teaching the algorithm what a good lead actually looks like.
Single Channel Strategies Hit Performance Walls
Most B2B accounts plateau on their primary channel.
We find the channel mix, funnel stage, or audience shift that would unlock the next tier of growth.
Peek Inside
What the Audit Includes
Every audit is built around the same rigorous framework, tailored to the platforms you’re running.
Performance Benchmarking
We compare your cost per click, cost per lead (or CPA), and conversion rates against current industry benchmarks for your vertical — so you know whether “normal-looking” numbers are actually leaving money on the table.
Account Health Check
Conversion tracking accuracy, offline conversion integration, pixel/tag setup, audience data quality, naming conventions, policy compliance (including industry-specific restrictions like Fair Housing targeting rules), and account settings that shape performance.
Campaign-by-Campaign Review
We go inside each active campaign—spend, structure, audience targeting, ad creative, keyword strategy—and flag exactly what’s helping, what’s hurting, and what’s untested.
Full-Funnel Strategy Assessment
Most accounts we review are optimized entirely for bottom-funnel conversions. We assess whether you’re capturing demand at every stage—awareness, consideration, and high-intent—or leaving cheaper, earlier-funnel opportunities on the table.
Prioritized Action Plan
Every finding is tagged so you know what to do first:
- Recommendation — a clear fix we’d make immediately
- Strategic Recommendation — a bigger structural or budget shift worth serious consideration
- Testing Opportunity — a hypothesis worth validating before committing budget
A Real Report, Not a Slide of Bullet Points
You receive a polished, branded report—the kind you can share internally or with leadership—walking through findings platform by platform, plus a short working session with your strategist to talk through the results.
