one screen.

Whether you run a single Google Ads account or audit campaigns across 50+ automotive clients, Adtunez gives you a single-window dashboard. Issue counts, dollar impact, ROAS, CPA, conversion deltas — all visible at once. No drilling into individual accounts to spot trouble.

The Adtunez dashboard shows every linked Google Ads account in one row-per-account view. Issue count column tells you which automotive accounts need attention right now. Cost, ROAS, conv-rate, and CPA columns let you spot which accounts are trending well and which are bleeding budget.

For agencies and in-house teams managing multiple automotive brands or locations, this single-window view replaces the workflow of opening 30 Google Ads tabs every Monday morning. The accounts that need attention surface themselves — you don't go looking for them.

  • ✓Issue counts per account — sort to find the worst offenders
  • ✓Cost, ROAS, CPA, conv at the account level — trend over time built in
  • ✓Click any account to drill into its full issue list ranked by dollars

Why daily audits matter for automotive

Automotive Google Ads accounts mix local service + commercial. Each leaks differently.

Automotive accounts often run two completely different campaign types under one Google Ads roof. Local service campaigns ("brake repair near me", "mobile mechanic [city]") on one side. Commercial product campaigns ("dash cams", "GPS trackers", "ceramic coating kits") on the other. The waste patterns differ wildly — and most generic audit tools miss them.

Local service campaigns leak through device-CPA imbalances (auto searches are 80%+ mobile) and zero-conversion long-tail. Commercial product campaigns leak through PMax mobile app placements — impressions burned on Solitaire, Mahjong, CBS Sports, and other trash apps where no one is shopping for dash cams. Both compound for months without a daily audit.

Adtunez audits both, daily. Sign up, connect your account, and within 5 minutes you have a ranked view of every local service zero-converter, every PMax app placement waste, and every device-CPA imbalance. 5-minute signup. 13+ checks. No agency, no services.

01

Local service zero-converters

Service keywords like "brake repair [city]" burning budget for 30 days with zero conversions — surfaced and ranked by absolute dollars. Catches them within 24 hours of the spend pattern emerging.

02

PMax mobile app placement waste

Auto parts and accessories sold via PMax often waste impressions on Solitaire, Mahjong, and CBS Sports apps. We surface every offending placement, ready to exclude with a single click.

03

Device CPA on mobile-heavy auto searches

Auto repair searches are 80%+ mobile. When mobile CPA exceeds desktop by 25%+, we flag the campaign — a common signal of bid-modifier issues that compound CPA inflation across the account.

What the audit drives

Lower CPA. Higher ROAS.
Single window solution.

Every issue Adtunez surfaces maps to one of two outcomes: cost reduction (lower CPA) or growth opportunity (higher ROAS). Both compound over time. Both ranked by absolute dollars so you fix what matters most first.

Outcome 1

Lower your CPA

By pausing zero-converter keywords, fixing device CPA imbalances, removing high-CPA ad copy outliers, restoring missing campaign assets that crush CTR, and excluding PMax mobile app placements that waste impressions on Solitaire and CBS Sports.

  • • Zero-converter keyword detection
  • • Device CPA imbalance flagging
  • • Ad copy CPA outlier surfacing
  • • Missing assets that inflate CPC
  • • PMax app placement waste
Outcome 2

Raise your ROAS

By promoting high-converting search terms still hidden in your search-query reports, reallocating spend to your top-performing landing pages, surfacing converting long-tail not yet added as keywords, and rebalancing budget away from product budget dominators.

  • • High-converting search terms ready to promote
  • • Top landing page performance shifts
  • • Out-of-stock winners still advertising
  • • Product budget dominance rebalancing
  • • Long-tail conversion expansion

Audit tool vs hiring an agency

Why Automotive Audit teams pick the audit tool first.

Adtunez doesn't replace agencies for everyone — some automotive brands genuinely need a managed-services partner. But for the audit work itself (finding waste, surfacing opportunity, ranking by dollar), the automated tool wins on speed, cost, and consistency.

Many automotive teams use Adtunez and an agency — the agency runs strategy, Adtunez catches the day-to-day waste between their reviews. They're complementary, not competitive.

FAQ

Common automotive audit questions, answered.

Is Adtunez an automotive marketing agency?

No. Adtunez is a read-only automated audit tool, not an agency. We do not run campaigns, make changes, or manage budgets. We scan in read-only mode and surface issues. Your team or your existing agency makes the changes.

How fast do I see audit results after signing up?

5 minutes. Sign up, OAuth into your Google Ads account, the first scan completes within minutes. Every issue is surfaced and ranked by dollar impact. Daily re-scans run automatically after.

Will the audit catch PMax mobile app placement waste?

Yes — this is one of our most popular checks. We surface every Performance Max placement on mobile apps like Solitaire, CBS Sports, Mahjong, and Bridge Base, with the impressions and (where available) cost. Ready to exclude in a single click.

Does this work for car dealerships running multiple campaign types?

Yes. Dealerships often run inventory PMax + service Search + parts Shopping all in one account. Adtunez audits each campaign type with the same 13+ checks plus account-level patterns like budget dominance and ad group keyword overload.

Can mobile mechanics use this on a single Google Ads account?

Yes. The Starter plan ($79/month) covers up to 5 accounts and includes the full audit toolset. Perfect for solo mechanics, mobile-only operators, and small shops.

Will the audit catch auto-parts product feed issues?

Yes. We audit Shopping and PMax product feeds for out-of-stock winners, product budget dominance, and missing/deprecated product attributes. Particularly useful for auto-parts retailers managing large catalogs.

How does the audit handle multi-location auto repair brands?

The Agency plan covers unlimited accounts at volume pricing. Each location gets its own audit with all 13+ checks, plus a multi-account dashboard for comparing locations side by side and a period comparison view for tracking trends.

How does the audit increase ROAS for automotive accounts?

By promoting long-tail converting search terms (mobile mechanic same-day variations, common repair queries), reallocating budget away from product budget dominators, and surfacing landing page winners. Plus the PMax exclusions free up budget that goes back into productive campaigns.
