Why pay for this when a free grader exists?
Free graders return a score. WordStream's is instant and free, and the score is a glance. One of our analyst ninjas reviews the account and ranks the fixes by dollar impact, after checking that a conversion is a real lead or sale. That's the part a score skips.
What do I get?
A written report: the tracking check, the search terms that are wasting money, and the top 5 fixes in dollar order. The Full Audit adds a Loom video of the findings and 14 days to ask questions by email. The report is short on purpose.
When do the 3 business days start?
You have the report in 3 business days. That means monday to friday, excluding us federal holidays, counted from the time your intake form is in and the read-only invite has reached us. Payment is the step before that. We email you before the deadline if the date will move.
What access do you need?
Read only. You invite an email address as a Read only user under Admin, then Access and security. We can view the account. We can't change campaigns, bids, budgets, or billing, and your password stays with you. The Fix-It add-on is the exception, and only after you approve the changes and choose to raise access for that work.
I already have someone running the ads. Can I still buy this?
Yes. The audit is read-only, so the account stays as it is. We don't contact your agency or your freelancer. The report is yours. Share it with them, or keep it.
What if the account is already in good shape?
Then the report says so, and it says why. The list stays short. We don't invent waste to justify the fee, and we don't promise a dollar amount of savings before we look.
Who reviews the account?
One of our analyst ninjas. That's a Google Ads specialist with agency experience. Paid Traffic Ninja is operated by WHIPSAW Media in Huntington Beach, California. The audit is a separate offer from full account management.
Do you manage the account afterward?
Management is not part of the audit. Monitoring is a monthly watch at $79/mo, with one fix included. Day-to-day management is a separate conversation if you want it. Say so on the intake form.
Can I get a refund?
If you ask before we start the review, we refund the audit fee. Once the review has started, the fee covers that work. Monitoring charges already made are not refunded. You can cancel monitoring by email before the next renewal. The terms page spells this out.
