Google Ads wasted spend analysis

Find where Google Ads is spending without enough evidence of return

Magnify audits wasted spend in context with tracking, Search, Shopping and PMax so you can distinguish a real leak from a measurement problem.

✓ Read-only first analysis✓ Nothing changes without approval✓ 92 checks · 23 audit sections

Why this matters

Spend with zero reported conversions is not always the same thing as waste.

A broken conversion action can make healthy campaigns look unprofitable. Bad attribution can do the opposite. Magnify checks measurement and spend together before labeling an account area as an optimization priority.

What you get from this workflow

  • Surface spend with no recorded conversions.
  • Audit negative-keyword and search-term coverage.
  • Check budget and campaign structure around the leak.
  • Separate missing evidence from confirmed problems.

The lead magnet

See the waste diagnosis inside the same 92-point registry

The audit keeps measurement, spend and campaign findings together so a single red number never becomes the whole optimization strategy.

Your account is the case study.

Sign up, link Google Ads and Magnify creates the baseline from your own campaign evidence. The audit stays inside your dashboard so it can become the starting point for optimization — not a one-off downloadable checklist.
