10 ways you are quietly getting

Fleeced!

I’ve paid for Google Ads.

Money leaks in places
you never see… until
someone slows down and looks. 

Until someone looks, problems fester —
pinching ad spend every month.

Google Ads can look busy and healthy — and still leak.
Here’s where the money usually hides. Such as…

  1. Broad/Vague Keywords
  2. Search Terms You Never Look At
  3. Display/Performance Max Bleed
  4. Mobile vs Desktop Waste
  5. Geographic Targeting Too Wide
  1. Weak Landing Pages
  2. Google Recommendations
  3. Brand vs Non-Brand Mix
  4. Ad Schedules Ignored
  5. Conversion Tracking Missing

Like a second set

My name is Michael.

I built Ads Reality Check for small business owners who need to understand their Google Ads (AdWords) spend before making more changes.

There’s no pitch. There’s no pressure—just a careful, read-only look at where the AdWords money is going.

I’ve been there! Now I’d like to help you get a grip on your Google Ads spend today!

Like you, I used to struggle with Google Ads (AdWords). I finally got a – Reality Check!

Not a dashboard.

Just a calm, clear explanation of the data that you need to know.

  • See where money actually goes.
