How it’s calculated

Twenty questions, five areas, one weighted score.

The Google Ads audit grader checks your account with 20 questions in five areas, from account structure to conversion tracking, and gives a score out of 100. The score weighs the problems that break measurement most; the result lists the five things to fix first and what to do about each.

The questions are taken from the checks in the eight chapters of our Google Ads account audit e-book and grouped in five areas. Each answer has a value: Yes 1, Partly 0.5, No and Not sure 0.

Each area's score is the average of its answers. The overall score is the weighted average of the area scores, in the e-book's order of priority: conversion tracking weighs most, keywords and bidding and budget come second, account structure and ads and assets third.

The things to fix first are the answers that are not "Yes", starting from the heaviest area; within an area "No" and "Not sure" come before "Partly".

Limits

  • The grader relies on your answers; it doesn't look at the account's data. It doesn't replace an audit by a specialist working in the account.
  • Every business has its own priorities; the weights are a general order.
  • If you don't run Performance Max, answer its two questions "Yes" so they don't affect your score.

Frequently asked questions

  2. My score is low; where do I start?

    With the "Fix these first" list in the result. It puts the problems that break measurement first, because the bid strategy and the reports depend on that data.
