15 checks. Every red one is margin leaving the building. By the end of the audit, each one has a fix and a value.

Start with a free Leak Snapshot

Give us a domain. Within one business day you get a one-page scan of what we can see from outside: ad presence, landing pages, monetization tags and site speed. It comes with three fixes you can make yourself. No account access, no call required.

It's the same document our clients get on day one. If it shows nothing worth fixing, we'll tell you that too.

Ads Audit

Where the money leaks

Most publishers who buy traffic lose margin in the same three places. None of them show up in the traffic source's dashboard.

Traffic quality nobody checks

Sources, placements and widgets bought at full price that send visits which never reach the money element.

Arbitrage margin unknown

Cost per visit and RPS compared once a month instead of daily, so losing sources run for weeks.

A thin monetization mix

One ad network or one search feed carrying everything, with RPM unknown by category and no test of what else the page could earn.

What we check

Every audit covers the same three layers, in the same order.

Technical

The engine
  • Server-to-server postbacks and GA4 events
  • Account structure per source: Google, Meta, TikTok, Taboola, Outbrain, Revcontent and more
  • Campaign templates, automation rules, fraud and placement filters
  • One reporting view: traffic cost against revenue, per source and per page

Funnel

The flow
  • Ad-to-page message match
  • Mobile layout, speed, and the path to the ad unit, search unit or offer
  • Scroll depth and CTR to the money element
  • An A/B framework your team can run without us

Monetization

The revenue
  • RPM and RPS by category, source and page
  • Search and intent-page layer (AFS, AFD) and advertiser campaign amplification
  • Affiliate and CRM revenue joined to your clicks (Everflow, CAKE, HasOffers, CSV)
  • Payout timing against traffic spend, so cash flow doesn't cap your volume

Why this works

Technical

We built the media-buying automation platform our own team runs on. Tracking, server-side events and integrations across every major traffic source.

Funnel

Landing pages, message match and testing at scale across 100 sites, on traffic we were paying for.

Monetization

Search, display, affiliate and direct advertiser revenue, with direct relationships at the large platforms and networks you'll be buying and monetizing on.

Questions

What access do you need?

Read access to your traffic source accounts, analytics and monetization partner reports for the audit. Build needs edit access to your traffic source accounts and a way to deploy tags or code. All work happens in your accounts, so you keep everything when we're done.

Where is our data stored, and what happens to it?

Your account data is processed on servers in Helsinki, Finland (Hetzner). We use Anthropic's Claude through its commercial API to help analyse data. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, your data is not used to train their models, and we never use it to train anything ourselves. We keep your data for the length of the engagement plus TODO(JS): N days, then delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner at any time.

Do you buy the traffic?

No. Build sets up the system and hands it over. Your team or your existing buyers run it. If you have no one to run it, we'll talk about Monitor.

How much of my time does it take?

One 45-minute call per week and a few async questions.

What if we're not a fit?

Then we'll say so, on the call or in the first week, and refund what hasn't been delivered.
