Get the forensic "Truth Serum" audit. We dig deep into your Google Ads account to find wasted spend — without trying to steal the account management.
Trusted by Australian brands spending $10k–$500k/mo
Most agencies offer a "Free Audit" for one reason: to find enough dirt to fire your current agency and hire them. It's a sales pitch wearing a lab coat.
This creates a structural conflict of interest. They will exaggerate problems, cherry-pick data, and withhold anything that makes them look good — because their audit only succeeds if it scares you into switching.
The Bias Trap
Agencies auditing your account have a financial incentive to find problems — real or invented. Their "findings" are calibrated to win business, not to give you an accurate picture of where your money is going.
The Data Fog
Getting ROAS reports that don't match your bank account? Most attribution models are set to favour the agency's preferred channel. You need a forensic accountant for your ads — not another agency with a motive.
No ongoing contracts. No upsells. Just the forensic truth about where your ad spend is going — delivered in a format matched to your account size.

Tell us your account and spend tier. We'll confirm the right audit package, send a contract with the no-poach guarantee, and get started within 2 business days.

Absolutely not. We sign a legal waiver upfront stating JD Stride will not pitch for the ongoing account management. This isn't just a policy — it's a contractual commitment. Our business model for this service depends entirely on being trusted as an independent voice, and that trust evaporates the moment we start selling.
No. Read-Only access is sufficient for 95% of the audit. We review campaign structure, keywords, bids, audience settings, search term reports, and conversion data — none of which requires write access. We do not make changes of any kind to your account.
We operate under strict confidentiality. We don't contact your agency, and we don't disclose who we're working for. After receiving the report, you can choose to share the findings with your agency to request fixes — or keep it for your own internal decision-making. Either way, it's entirely your call.
Starter and Growth audits are typically completed within 48 hours of receiving account access. Enterprise audits, which involve deeper data layer review and attribution modelling, take 3–5 business days. We'll confirm the timeline when you book.
Good news — it means your current agency is earning their fee. We'll document that clearly and give you a report that confirms what's working well and what could be optimised further. In our experience, genuinely clean accounts are rare, but they do exist, and we'll tell you honestly when we find one.
For accounts spending under $5k/month, if our Starter Audit fails to identify at least the value of our fee in recoverable waste, you pay nothing.
One audit. One fixed fee. No pitch. Just the forensic truth — and a clear path to recovering what you've been losing.
