Single window solution

Every education account, every issue,
one screen.

Whether you run a single Google Ads account or audit campaigns across 50+ education 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 education 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 education 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
  • Period comparison view — vs last month, last year, or any custom date range

Switch comparison from a dropdown: Previous Period, Same Period Last Month, Same Period Last Year, or Custom Range. The whole grid recomputes instantly. Especially valuable for education accounts where seasonality matters or where MoM growth needs context.

Why daily audits matter for education

Education Google Ads compete with VC-funded giants. Audit every dollar.

Education ad accounts compete with the biggest Google Ads spenders on the planet — Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy, Codecademy, Brilliant, Duolingo. They have bigger budgets, more conversion data, and dedicated PPC teams running daily optimizations. The only way to compete is to make every dollar count, every day.

The most common waste pattern in education accounts is not a bad keyword — it is a perfectly normal keyword that brings researchers, not buyers. Someone searching "python bootcamp" might be comparing 20 options before deciding. They click your ad. They click 19 others. You pay $40 for a researcher click that converts at 1%. Multiplied across hundreds of competitor-research keywords, that is thousands of dollars/month leaking quietly.

Adtunez catches it daily. Sign up, connect your account, and within 5 minutes you have a ranked view of every zero-converter keyword, every long-tail conversion sitting unpromoted, and every landing page drifting on conv rate. 5-minute signup. 13+ checks. Daily monitoring. No agency.

01

Brand-research zero-converters

Course keywords burning $200+ over 30 days with zero conversions — often researchers comparing your course to a giant. Daily audit catches the pattern within 24 hours of it appearing.

02

Long-tail conversions hidden

Long-tail course searches like "macbook screen replacement training" converting at 200% sitting un-promoted. The big brands miss these. You should not.

03

Top course pages drifting

Your /python-bootcamp page driving 7% conv rate while /home-search wastes spend at 0%. We surface conv rate and CPC by URL so you can shift to winners.

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 Education teams pick the audit tool first.

Adtunez doesn't replace agencies for everyone — some education 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 education 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 education audit questions, answered.

Is Adtunez an education marketing agency?

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

How fast do I get my first course audit?

5 minutes. Sign up, OAuth into your Google Ads account, the first scan runs immediately. Every issue is ranked by dollar impact on the first dashboard load. Daily re-scans run automatically after.

Will this work for a small course creator competing with Coursera?

Especially. Smaller course creators benefit most because they cannot afford to waste budget the way giants can. The audit catches every leak so your dollars compete more efficiently against bigger players.

Does the audit work for both B2C courses and B2B training?

Yes. Adtunez audits Search, Display, Shopping, and PMax campaigns regardless of audience. The same 13+ checks apply to consumer course campaigns and enterprise training campaigns.

Can the audit help with seasonal enrollment campaigns?

Yes. Daily monitoring is especially valuable during enrollment seasons when budgets spike and waste compounds fast. The period comparison view shows enrollment-vs-non-enrollment performance side by side.

Will the audit catch landing page drift on course pages?

Yes. The Top Performing Landing Pages check surfaces conv rate and CPC by URL. If your /python-bootcamp page is converting at 7% but spend is going to /home-search at 0%, we flag the imbalance.

How is this different from Google recommendations?

Google recommendations push you toward more spend (broader match, higher budgets, automated bidding). Adtunez surfaces issues ranked by dollars they are costing you — including issues Google never flags.

How does the audit raise course ROAS?

Three levers: surfacing the long-tail course searches converting but never added as keywords (huge missed-conversion opportunity), shifting spend to your highest-converting course landing pages, and pausing the brand-research zero-converters bleeding $200+/month each. All three appear in the audit dashboard within 5 minutes.
