Most Google Shopping audits tell you what you already know. They're surface-level checklists that don't address the real question: is your Shopping campaign making you money?
The Problem With Template Audits
Every agency has a "free audit" offer. They run your account through a tool, generate a PDF, and highlight generic issues like "your campaign structure could be improved" or "your ROAS is below benchmark."
But benchmarks are meaningless without context. A 400% ROAS on low-margin products might be losing you money. A 200% ROAS on high-margin products might be printing cash.
The audit missed the point entirely.
What a Real Shopping Audit Should Cover
A useful Google Shopping audit answers commercial questions:
- Which SKUs are profitable and which are draining budget?
- Are your margins being protected or eroded by aggressive bidding?
- Is your inventory intelligence connected to your bidding strategy?
- Are your product titles optimised for the searches that convert?
These aren't questions a template can answer. They require understanding your business, your margins, and your goals.
The SKU-Level Truth
Most audits look at campaign-level metrics. But Shopping performance lives at the product level.
A campaign with 500 products might show an acceptable overall ROAS, but hide the fact that 50 products are driving all the profit while 200 are actively losing money.
Without SKU-level analysis, you're flying blind.
What We Do Differently
Our Google Shopping management starts with commercial reality:
- Margin mapping - We know what each product actually makes you
- Commercial role assignment - Every SKU gets a job: margin driver, cash recycler, or controlled scale
- Inventory awareness - Bids adjust based on what you can actually sell
- Feed optimisation - Titles and attributes built for conversion, not just compliance
This is the kind of audit that changes outcomes, not just fills your inbox with PDFs.
The Bottom Line
If your last Shopping audit didn't tell you exactly which products to scale and which to cut, it was useless.
A real audit shows you where the profit is hiding and where the waste is accumulating. Everything else is noise.
