When I worked at a digital marketing agency, I managed Google Ads for dozens of local businesses. Contractors, service companies, medical clinics. Most of them were spending $2,000–$8,000 a month on ads.
And almost every single account had the same problems. Broad match keywords eating up 60% of the budget. Zero negative keywords. Conversion tracking not firing. A bidding strategy optimizing for the wrong thing. Ads written to impress the owner — not to get a click from someone with a problem.
The frustrating part? These weren't obscure issues. They were the same six mistakes, account after account. And the business owners had no idea — because Google's dashboard makes everything look fine while the money quietly disappears.
So I built a checklist. Fifteen minutes to diagnose any Google Ads account. Every time I ran it, I found money being wasted. Every single time.
The Realization
“A business doesn't need a bigger ads budget. It needs to stop wasting the budget it already has.”
After running this checklist on over 40 accounts, a pattern emerged. Fix these six things — in the right order — and cost per lead drops. Fast. Not over months. Within weeks.
One roofing contractor went from $180 per lead to $47. Not because we spent more. Because we stopped paying for traffic that was never going to call. A plumbing company saved $2,200 a month on day one just by adding the right negative keywords.
The checklist didn't require a bigger budget. It just required knowing where to look.
I'm giving it away free — because once you see what's happening in your account, you'll know exactly what needs to change. And if you want help fixing it, we can talk about that on WhatsApp too.
The checklist walks through each section of your account step by step. You don't need to be an expert — you just need to follow the questions.
Are you bidding on the right terms — or paying for traffic that will never convert?
The single fastest way to stop bleeding budget. Most accounts have zero negative keywords.
If you can't measure a lead, you can't optimize for one. We check if your tracking is actually firing.
Manual CPC vs. Target CPA vs. Maximize Conversions — wrong choice here wastes thousands.
Low Quality Scores mean you're paying more per click than your competitors for the same position.
Are your ads speaking to intent — or just listing features nobody cares about?
