What does the R1,200 monthly Google Ads review include?

It includes up to 60 minutes of analysis on one Google Ads account, covering spend, delivery, obvious tracking failures, material waste and major risks, followed by a short written summary.

Will Traffic Maven make changes to the account?

No changes are made without approval. If implementation is required, the client can handle it internally, use another supplier, or approve Traffic Maven to do the work at the published hourly rate.

Is this a replacement for Google Ads management?

No. The review is designed for smaller or relatively stable accounts. Accounts needing regular optimisation, new campaigns, tracking work and active reporting require ongoing management.

Monthly Google Ads account review

Know when the account needs attention.

A R1,200 monthly check for South African businesses that need experienced scrutiny—not another management retainer.

The short answer

For R1,200 a month, Traffic Maven reviews one Google Ads account for up to 60 minutes, flags material problems and gives you a short written recommendation. Nothing is changed without your approval.

What gets checked

Spend and deliveryIs the account spending as expected, and is the budget going where it should?
Search and targetingAre obvious irrelevant searches, location problems or targeting mistakes wasting money?
Tracking healthHave important conversions stopped recording or started double-counting?
Material risksAre there disapprovals, broken links, sudden changes or settings that deserve urgent attention?
The next moveWhat should be left alone, watched or fixed?

What it deliberately does not include

This is not disguised full management. It does not include new campaign builds, routine bid and keyword changes, landing-page production, creative, reporting meetings or unlimited support.

If something needs fixing, you receive the reason and recommended action. You can handle it internally, send it to your existing supplier, or approve Traffic Maven to implement it at R1,200 per hour in 30-minute increments.

When a review is enough

The service suits a smaller account that is already running, changes infrequently and does not justify a full monthly management fee. If campaigns need weekly decisions, new work, active testing or deeper tracking, Google Ads management is the more honest answer.

Questions business owners ask

What does the R1,200 review include?

One Google Ads account, one review per month, up to 60 minutes of analysis and a short written summary of important findings.

Do you need access to our Google Ads account?

Yes. Read-only or standard access is enough for the review. Passwords should never be emailed or shared.

Will you make changes automatically?

No. Material issues are flagged first. No implementation happens without your go-ahead.

Can this cover Meta Ads instead?

The Campaign Health Check can cover one Google Ads or Meta Ads account. This page focuses on Google Ads because the checks and search intent are different.

Is advertising spend included?

No. The R1,200 fee is for the review. Media spend remains payable directly to Google.
