20 areas, each scored 0 to 100

The same audit engine PaidSync uses for paying customers. It reads the last 30 days of the account (budget pacing reads this month), focuses on where the money goes, and averages the 20 scores into your overall score. A is 80 and up, B is 60 to 79, C is 40 to 59 and D is below 40.

An area that cannot load, or takes more than 22 seconds, shows 50. Most areas also show 50 when the account has no data for them. The Extensions area and the Shopping and PMax area show 100 when there is nothing to check.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the Google Ads audit tool really free?

Yes. You create a free PaidSync account, with no credit card, connect Google Ads, and run the audit from your dashboard.

What does the grader check in my Google Ads account?

It scores 20 areas from the last 30 days: wasted spend, search terms, Quality Score, responsive search ad strength, extensions, negative keywords, impression share, bidding strategy, audience coverage, ad testing, device performance, geo performance, match type mix, URL tracking, campaign structure, ad schedule, budget pacing, conversion tracking, performance against your targets, and Shopping and Performance Max. Each area is scored 0 to 100 and your overall score is their average.

What access does the grader ask for?

You connect Google Ads to PaidSync the same way every customer does. Google shows its single Google Ads permission, which covers reading and changing. The audit only reads your account, and PaidSync changes something only when you ask it to.

Can I share the report with my team or clients?

Yes. The audit lives in your PaidSync account. On the Team plan you invite your team to the same workspace, so everyone sees the same findings.

How long does the audit take?

Usually under a minute. All 20 areas run at the same time, and an area that takes longer than 22 seconds stops and shows 50, so one slow area cannot hold up the report.

Audit the rest of your ad stack

The grader scores one Google Ads account. These guides and tools go deeper, and cover the other platforms and the tracking underneath.
