Context

What to Audit

Creative performance signals:

  • Responsive search ad headline combinations with highest CTR
  • Description lines that drive conversions vs. those that don't
  • Ad strength ratings across the account
  • Ads that haven't been updated in 90+ days

Cross-campaign patterns:

  • Which messaging themes perform best across campaigns
  • Headlines that work in one campaign but fail in another
  • Description patterns that consistently drive higher conversion rates
  • Ad groups running with fewer than 3 active ads

Ad format considerations:

  • Responsive search ads with low ad strength ratings
  • Pinned headlines reducing Google's optimization ability
  • Description lines that repeat headline messaging
  • Call-to-action consistency across ad groups

Analysis Strategy

  1. List all campaigns and their ad groups
  2. Pull every ad with creative text and performance metrics
  3. Rank headlines by CTR and conversion rate contribution
  4. Identify stale ads (unchanged for 90+ days with declining performance)
  5. Compare creative performance across ad groups and campaigns
  6. Check ad strength ratings and pinning configurations
  7. Look for messaging gaps in responsive search ad asset coverage
