Key Findings

  • Zero negative keywords added in 90 days — irrelevant search terms are likely wasting your budget unchecked.
  • Only 1 new ad was created in 90 days — your ads are going stale, reducing click-through rates and increasing costs.
  • No audience adjustments in 90 days — your targeting hasn't been refined since the account was set up.
  • No extensions or assets were updated — you're missing opportunities to improve ad visibility.
  • ⚠️6 of 11 changes were automated by Google — your agency may be relying on Google's auto-apply rather than making deliberate optimisations.
  • ⚠️Most weeks had zero human activity — this pattern would be worth questioning.

Verdict

For an account spending £18,000/month, this level of activity is critically low. A well-managed account at this spend level should see around 300 optimisation actions over 90 days across multiple categories. This account received just 11 total changes, with only 5 made by a human. Zero negative keywords were added, meaning wasted spend on irrelevant searches isn't being controlled. Only one ad was tested in three months, meaning your messaging is going stale. This account shows signs of being significantly under-managed.

You should not have to guess what you paid for.

"The change history is not a perfect measure of agency quality, but it is a useful receipt. If your agency says they are optimising your account, you should be able to see regular human work across the areas that matter."

— Luke Bright, Founder

A managed account should show a sensible pattern of activity: search term reviews, negative keywords, new ad copy, budget changes, audience refinements, and tracking checks. Single-digit activity is not automatically proof of bad work, but it is enough to ask sharper questions.

I got tired of seeing businesses get ripped off.

LB

"I manage Google Ads accounts for a living, and the first thing I look for in any account review is simple: what changed, who changed it, and whether the work matches the fee."

"I built FireMyAgency to give business owners that same starting point. No jargon. No black box. Just a clear read on the work happening inside the account."

Luke Bright Google Ads Specialist · Founder, FireMyAgency.ai

Got questions? We've got answers.

Yes, forever. We make money by offering agency services to businesses who discover their current provider isn't pulling their weight — not by charging for audits. Your report is completely free with no strings attached.
Absolutely. We only look at your change history — the read-only log Google keeps of actions taken in your account. We can't change anything, and your data is never shared. You can also run the audit yourself by uploading a CSV export of your Change History if you'd rather not share account details.
No. The audit is read-only and completely confidential. Your agency is never notified. This is between you and your data.
Works for anyone. Whether you've got an agency, a freelancer, an in-house team, or you're managing things yourself — you can see exactly how many optimisation changes are being made. It's a useful benchmark either way.
Two options. Done-for-you audit: request via the form and you'll get a full report back within 48 hours — zero effort on your end. DIY CSV: export your Change History from Google Ads (2 minutes) and upload it here for an instant score.
Any deliberate optimisation action in your Google Ads account: bid adjustments, keyword additions or removals, negative keyword management, new ad copy, extension updates, audience refinements, budget changes, and campaign settings. We track what matters — the hands-on work that improves performance. Learn more →
Yes. If you have access to multiple Google Ads accounts (or manage accounts for different businesses), you can audit each one individually. Each account gets its own Agency Activity Score and report.
That's genuinely great news. A high Agency Activity Score means your agency is actively managing your account across multiple categories. You can use the report as validation that you're getting what you pay for. Not every agency is lazy — and now you have proof yours isn't.
The Agency Activity Score is based on objective data — the actual change history logged by Google Ads. We count real actions, separate human changes from automated ones, and benchmark against industry standards. It's not a subjective opinion — it's what the data shows. That said, quantity of changes isn't everything; we're building quality analysis into future versions. See our audit guide →
