Why most Google Ads accounts underperform
When we audit a new account, the same five problems appear again and again. Conversion tracking counts the wrong actions, so the algorithm optimises towards noise. Campaign structure mixes unrelated intent into a single budget, so the machine cannot learn. Negative keyword lists are thin, so a meaningful share of spend goes to searches that will never convert. Performance Max runs unconstrained with no brand exclusions or asset group discipline. And landing pages are generic homepages rather than pages built to answer the search.
None of these are exotic problems. They persist because accounts get set up once and then only touched for budget changes. Our management model treats the account as a system that needs auditing, restructuring and continuous testing, and we start by fixing the measurement layer, because every other decision depends on it.
