Google Ads Audit Devices Analysis (Part 10 Tutorial 2022)

Google Ads Audit Overview:

We now get into part 10 of the Google Ads Audit tutorial with a focus on Devices.

The Data Studio report will help us capture the visuals while Google Sheets/Excel and Google Slides will assist with analyzing the data. We'll dig into bid adjustments on computer, table and mobile devices to help jumpstart campaign conversions.

1.     Let’s go to the Devices Overview Report page and set the date range for 14 days (customizable).

It’s clear from this chart data that conversions are mostly on computers.

6.      Paste them into the Google spreadsheet. There’s no target CPA yet, but if there is one, sort it by cost.

7.      Hit Filter, then Clear – we’ll look at the zero-cost subjects first and then do a negative on them. For example, the target CPA is $30 and we’ve already spent $37, so we do a bid adjustment of -10. It’s not scientific.

We can observe/review data that has a high/low cost per acquisition as well.

Then under the Data header, find the Sort Range and sort by cost/conversion (low to high).

These are simply zero cost per conversions. Now we can make all the bid adjustments 30.

This is a lot of spend.

13.       Share and link the Google Spreadsheet.

Then link it to the Analysis title on the Analysis page. Under this heading, I wrote, “computers have a lot of spend and low conversions."

And that's how to tackle the Devices section of the Google Ads Audit.
