Sound Familiar?
These are the mistakes costing advertisers thousands every month.
You launched Google Ads, got clicks, spent money — and have no idea if your conversion tracking is even recording correctly.
Your campaign has been in ‘Learning Limited’ status for weeks. You don’t know why or how to fix it.
Location targeting is set to ‘Presence or Interest’ without you realising — you’re paying for clicks from people who googled your city, not people in it.
You’re running Broad Match keywords without Smart Bidding. Your budget is going to searches that have nothing to do with your business.
Your Performance Max campaign has no negative keywords, no brand exclusions, and is cannibalising your Search campaign budget.
You can’t tell if poor results are the ad’s fault, the landing page’s fault, or the setup’s fault — because you never had a way to verify the setup.
Every day your ads run on a broken setup is money you are not getting back.

The feature that makes this different
Every Item Has a Step-by-Step Verification Guide
Most checklists tell you what to do. This one tells you how to confirm it’s done right. Tab 3 gives you the exact clicks, the exact screen to check, and a clear ✅ PASS or ❌ FAIL for every single item.
Example — Location Targeting Verification:
Step 1: Go to Campaign Settings → Locations → click “Location options”
Step 2: Under “Target” check what is selected
Step 3: Must read “Presence” — NOT “Presence or interest”
Step 4: If wrong — change it immediately before checking this item
✅ PASS: Location targeting is set to Presence only. This single fix saves thousands in wasted clicks.

What people are saying
Real Results From Real Advertisers
★★★★★
“I’ve run Google Ads for 3 years and still found 9 things I’d never set up correctly. The conversion tracking section alone fixed my Smart Bidding — it was optimising toward phantom conversions. This checklist paid for itself 1,000x over.”
— James R., E-commerce founder
★★★★★
“My agency uses this for every new client onboarding. Found that 3 accounts had wrong location targeting and PMax was cannibalising Search. Fixed it, performance improved within 2 weeks. Worth every penny.”
— Marcus T., Agency Director
★★★★★
“I was about to pay $1,500 to audit my Google Ads. Bought this first. I found and fixed everything myself in a weekend. The verification tab is what makes it — it tells you exactly what to look for, not just what to do.”
— Priya K., SaaS Founder
★★★★★
“I handed this to a junior team member with zero Google Ads experience. She completed a full account audit using Tab 3 in one day and found 7 actual problems. The verification steps make it idiot-proof in the best way.”
— Sarah M., Marketing Manager

Questions Answered.
Do I need Google Ads experience to use this?
No. The checklist explains each item clearly. Beginners use it to build correctly from scratch. Experienced advertisers use it to catch what they’ve missed.
What format is it in?
Excel (.xlsx). Works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Apple Numbers.
How is this different from free checklists?
Free checklists are generic, outdated, and don’t tell you how to verify anything. This has 103 items, each with step-by-step verification instructions matching the February 2026 Google Ads interface.
Does this cover Performance Max?
Yes — fully. Including PMax-specific items: asset groups, audience signals, campaign-level negative keywords (added 2025), channel-level reporting, and brand exclusions.
Is this useful for agencies?
Extremely. Use it as a client onboarding audit. Complete it, screenshot it, send it as proof of a professional setup. Also works as a training framework for new team members.
Is there a refund policy?
Due to instant digital delivery, all sales are final. But if you open this and genuinely feel it didn’t deliver value, email us — we stand behind the quality.
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Your Google Ads Setup Deserves to Be Verified — Not Just Built.
