Ad Spend Leakage Estimator

Five quick questions about your Google Ads setup. We’ll calculate exactly how much budget is draining away each month — and where every leak is coming from.

25–35% avg. waste in self-managed accounts
$800+ typical monthly leak on a $2k budget
60% waste cut with expert management
Progress Question 1 of 5
What’s your monthly Google Ads budget?
Enter your approximate monthly spend and your industry so we can apply the right benchmarks.

Who manages your campaigns?
This is the single biggest predictor of wasted spend. The estimate only works if the answer is accurate.
I set it up and let it run
Campaigns are live but not actively managed
I manage it myself, actively
I check in and make adjustments regularly
An agency manages it
We pay an outside team to run our ads
An in-house employee
A staff member handles our Google Ads
Do you use negative keywords?
Negative keywords block irrelevant searches from triggering your ads. Without them, Google spends your budget on clicks that will never convert.
Yes — I review and update them regularly
Monthly or more often
I set some up but rarely update them
The list exists but hasn’t been touched in a while
No, or I’m not sure what those are
Not currently using negative keywords
How do you track conversions?
Without conversion data, Google optimizes for clicks — not customers. This is one of the most common and costly gaps in local business ad accounts.
Both calls and form fills are tracked
Full conversion visibility
Only tracking one or the other
Calls only, or form fills only
Not tracking conversions
No conversion data coming into Google Ads
What keyword match types do you use?
Match types control how closely a search must match your keyword before your ad shows. Broad match is Google’s widest — and most expensive — net.
Mostly exact match and phrase match
Tight targeting — ads show for closely related searches
A mix of broad and exact match
Some tight, some loose targeting
Mostly or all broad match
Google decides which searches trigger our ads
Not sure — using Google’s defaults
Haven’t changed match type settings
