Paid Media Audit is one of many services we run for growing ecommerce brands. What you do with it is up to you — let's chat.
Frequently asked questions.
What is Paid Media Audit in ecommerce, and what does the service include?+
Paid Media Audit is a consulting engagement inside our Diagnostics & Audits practice, focused on account structure, creative and measurement review. Every paid media audit engagement ships 5 concrete deliverables: Account teardown; Creative library review; MER + attribution check; Growth model; Prioritised roadmap. Everything lives in a shared workspace with a weekly build log, so you see progress in real time rather than waiting for a monthly slide deck.
Which ecommerce brands are paid media audit services the right fit for?+
Our paid media audit service is designed for ambitious ecommerce brands. If the problem sounds like "growth that's stalled or a program that isn't compounding", this engagement is built for it. If you're pre-product-market-fit or under ~$1M in trailing revenue, we'll usually point you to a lighter Sprint or a Diagnostic instead of a full paid media audit retainer.
How much does paid media audit cost, and what are the pricing tiers?+
Three engagement shapes for paid media audit: Sprint (fixed scope, 4–6 weeks — best for a one-question paid media audit audit), Partner (quarterly retainer with weekly ship cadence — the most common shape for paid media audit), and Advisory (fractional, 6 or 12 months). Nothing performance-based — we've seen that misalign incentives every time. Exact pricing depends on scope; you get a written proposal after the intro call.
How long until we see results from paid media audit?+
Meaningful signal within 30–60 days. Our target is clear performance thesis inside the first quarter of the paid media audit engagement, and immediate optimisation wins that stays with your team afterwards.
What are the main benefits of hiring a paid media audit agency vs. building in-house?+
Speed and pattern recognition. A dedicated paid media audit agency has run the same play across dozens of ecommerce brands, so you skip the 6–12 months of trial-and-error an in-house hire would need. You also avoid fixed headcount cost: the engagement flexes up during launches and down between them.
Who actually runs the paid media audit work, and how is it reported?+
A senior operator owns the paid media audit account end-to-end. No junior AM behind a dashboard, no offshoring. Reporting is tied to the metrics that actually move your P&L. Every week we publish a build log with what shipped, what the data said, and the next bet. Every month we run a business review against forecast — no vanity metrics, no cherry-picked screenshots.
