Most "free audits" aren't.

They're a script that scrapes your account, spits out a score, and books a sales call. Ours is the first hour of real work, done for free so you can judge us by it.

What we look at

The same checklist we use on day one with a new client. Roughly in the order it matters.

1
Conversion trackingIs the account measuring the thing you actually care about, and is it measuring it correctly? Most aren't. Everything else depends on this.
2
Wasted spendSearch terms, placements, and audiences that eat budget and return nothing. Usually the fastest win.
3
Account structureWhether campaigns, ad groups, and budgets are organized so the algorithm can learn, or fighting each other.
4
Bidding and budgetsWhether you're on the right strategy for your goal and data volume, and whether budget is where the results are.
5
Ads and landing pagesMessage match, ad strength, what people see after the click. The part the platform can't fix for you.
6
What to do firstA short, ordered list. If we ran your account starting Monday, this is what we'd do in week one.

Who does the work

A senior strategist. Every time.

Ernst Media is seven people in Spokane, Washington. No sales team, no account managers, no junior bench. The person who audits your account is the person who'd manage it, month to month, at a flat $95 an hour.

We've been doing this since 2018 and we've never had a client under contract. The audit is how most of them started.

Before you request one

Straight answers.

What do you need from me?

Read-only access to the ad account, which takes about two minutes to grant and which you can revoke any time. We'll send instructions for your platform. That's it.

How long does it take?

We usually deliver within a week of getting access. The call itself runs 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how much there is to talk about.

Is there a catch?

Only that we'd like to run your account afterward, and we'll say so once. If it's not a fit, or you'd rather act on the list yourself, that's fine. The findings are yours either way.

Is there a minimum spend?

We ask that you're spending at least $500 a month. Below that there usually isn't enough data to audit meaningfully, and we'd rather tell you that than waste your time.

Can you audit an account my current agency runs?

Yes, and it's the most common situation. Read-only access doesn't change anything in the account or alert anyone. We'll tell you honestly what's good as well as what isn't.

Ready when you are.
