PERFORMANCE

Rebar Performance / Pilot options

Find your next Google Ads improvement.

Start with an account audit, a landing-page review or a daily analysis pilot. The Rebar Team turns the evidence into a clear set of next steps.

Scope, fee and timing agreed before work begins.

Three ways to begin

Choose the question.
We will define the work.

Each pilot has a defined output. You can use the findings with your own team, your agency or the Rebar Team.

01 / Account performance

18-Point Account & Causal Audit

Find the account issues and performance shifts worth investigating first.

  • Up to 90 days of account data, plus recent change history.
  • Shift-share, conversion lag, tag/value hygiene, AI Max and PMax/Search overlap checks.
  • Prioritized HTML Action Board with evidence, potential impact and a proposed test.

Initial Action Board target: 48 hours after usable data and scope are confirmed.

Choose the account audit

02 / Zero Google Ads access

Landing Page & Tag Audit

Start with the pages your ad traffic reaches and the tags visible in the browser.

  • Page relevance, mobile experience and conversion-path friction.
  • Observable Google tag behavior, duplicate events and consent-state checks.
  • A fix list with evidence, ownership and validation steps.

Public-page review. Account Quality Score and end-to-end CRM attribution need additional evidence.

Choose the page audit

03 / Ongoing monitoring

Daily Morning Analysis

Know what moved in the latest available reports and what deserves a closer look.

  • Spend, conversion value, efficiency and mix changes.
  • Auction movement when fresh Auction Insights are available.
  • A short daily brief with proposed actions and data-freshness notes.

Requires agreed scheduled exports or read-only reporting setup. Delivery timezone and cutoff are set with your team.

Inside the account audit

18 checks.
One prioritized Action Board.

Every finding connects an observation to an action or a test. Missing evidence is visible, so the team knows what is ready to act on and what needs further investigation.

Measurement and value

  1. Conversion actions, primary/secondary status and account goals.
  2. Conversion counting and possible duplicate events.
  3. Conversion values, currency and business meaning.
  4. Conversion lag and reporting maturity.
  5. Enhanced lead conversions and offline import health.
  6. Observable tag behavior and consent implementation.

Performance and spend

  1. Traffic-mix versus within-segment efficiency changes.
  2. CPC, CTR, conversion-rate and ROAS drivers.
  3. Budget versus rank lost impression share where available.
  4. Search-term relevance and avoidable spend.
  5. Brand versus non-brand performance mix.
  6. Device, geography and time-of-day patterns.

Controls and causal questions

  1. PMax/Search overlap and incrementality hypotheses.
  2. AI Max query, asset and URL controls.
  3. Negative keywords and brand exclusions where eligible.
  4. Bid targets, budgets and learning windows.
  5. Change history, seasonality and auction shifts.
  6. Test design, evidence strength and impact uncertainty.
The four starter exports begin the review. Some checks require settings, tag evidence, segmented reports or Auction Insights. We mark unavailable checks as “Needs data.” Observational patterns support hypotheses; causal claims require suitable evidence.

Each Action Board item includes

Finding → supporting evidence → confidence → potential impact → recommended action → owner and next test.

Impact is an estimate with stated assumptions. The audit does not guarantee savings or incremental revenue.

Sharing data / Keep the first step small

Send exports.
Or let the Rebar Team pull them.

Begin with the four standard reports below. There is no need to connect an external database for the starter audit.

Option A / Zero Google Ads access

CSV or Google Sheet drop.

Export the reports and place them in the restricted shared folder agreed with the Rebar Team. If the reports are already saved, sharing can take just a few minutes.

Keep one account, currency and timezone clearly identified. Do not include customer lists, passwords or payment details.

Option B / Hands-free report collection

Read-only Google Ads access.

Grant read-only access and the Rebar Team will pull the agreed reports. Your team can revoke access whenever needed.

A reporting script is optional. If agreed, your authorized account user reviews and runs it. The script’s authorization requirements are separate from read-only user access.

ReportWindowInclude
1. Campaign performance by dayLast 90 daysCampaign, campaign type, date, impressions, clicks, cost, conversions and conversion value. Add Search lost impression share (budget/rank) where supported.Keep the account currency and timezone with the export. Do not replace unavailable values with zero.
2. Campaign conversions by day and conversion actionLast 90 daysCampaign, date, conversion action name, conversions, all conversions and conversion value, where supported.Use a separate conversion-action settings export or screenshot to confirm primary/secondary status, counting rules and account goals.
3. Search termsLast 90 daysCampaign, ad group, search term, match type, impressions, clicks, cost, conversions and conversion value, where available.Include available Search and Performance Max query reporting. Privacy thresholds can omit queries; overlap alone does not prove cannibalization.
4. Change historyLast 30 daysDate/time, affected campaign or entity, change type, and old/new values where provided. Include bid, budget and setting changes.Use the available download or a shared Sheet. If a needed field cannot be exported, the Rebar Team will agree a suitable alternative.

For Daily Morning Analysis, the Rebar Team also agrees recurring report delivery and a data cutoff. Include Auction Insights when available; auction reports may not support a complete overnight view.

Start with one clear question

Tell the Rebar Team where to begin.

Choose a pilot and the easiest way to share data. We will confirm the scope, fee, timing and next steps before work starts.

  1. Send a short request.

    No account reports or login details are needed in this form.

  2. Agree on the inputs.

    The Rebar Team sends a focused export checklist or read-only access instructions.

  3. Review the first output.

    Decide which findings deserve action and which need a test or more evidence.

A few practical details

Before we start.

Are the pilots free?

The existing introductory account assessment is free. The three pilots on this page are scoped engagements. The Rebar Team agrees the work, fee and timing with you before starting. There is no commitment to ongoing management.

What does the 48-hour target cover?

We target an initial Action Board for the account audit within 48 hours after usable data and scope are confirmed. The Rebar Team confirms timing at intake. Missing reports or complex measurement issues may require a revised schedule.

Can four exports complete all 18 checks?

The four reports are the starting point. Some checks need conversion-action settings, tag evidence, campaign settings, segment reports or Auction Insights. The Action Board labels missing inputs and confidence levels. The Rebar Team requests only what the selected checks need.

Does a causal audit prove what caused a change?

An observational audit identifies plausible drivers and competing explanations. A causal conclusion may require a controlled experiment or another suitable research design. PMax/Search overlap by itself does not establish cannibalization or incremental lift.

Can you identify Quality Score penalties from our website?

A public-page review can identify relevance, usability and observable tag issues. Account-level Quality Score diagnostics require Google Ads data. Quality Score is a diagnostic measure, not a direct input to the ad auction.

How does daily analysis stay current?

The daily service needs recurring exports or an agreed read-only reporting connection. We set the account timezone, report cutoff and delivery time with your team. The brief labels stale or provisional data, including late conversions. A one-time CSV upload does not create an ongoing feed.

Can small accounts use a pilot?

Yes. There is no minimum spend for an initial diagnostic. Limited conversion volume can reduce statistical confidence and the range of experiments we can recommend.

Will you make changes in the account?

Read-only Google Ads access cannot edit campaigns. The audit and daily brief provide recommendations. Implementation, if requested, is a separate agreed scope.
