Policies and placement
Deceptive screens before ads, rewarded ads on navigation buttons, gift wheels, banners stuck to menus, density, desktop interstitials and labels.

How we review
A comprehensive review, from the outside
The audit maps published pages and subdomains and prioritizes what matters most in a policy review. Large sites are reviewed in full over the course of ongoing monitoring.
Each page is assessed the way visitors see it, on mobile and desktop, separating published content from what ads and plugins add.
The audit doesn't interact with ads, rewarded ad buttons or forms, doesn't sign in and doesn't change anything on the site. If the connection drops, it automatically resumes where it left off.
What it checks
Six areas in one audit
Each area turns into findings with a screenshot, an explanation and a path to fix it.
Content
Short or low-value posts, signs of scaled content, titles that promise what the page does not deliver, hidden text, pages that imitate the government and translations.
Better Ads Standards
All 23 standards, each marked as checked automatically, partially or manually.
Consent
TCF message outside Europe, regions and Consent Mode v2 signals, and privacy policy content by region.
Setup
ads.txt, duplicate tags, site owner, footer pages, domain email with MX, SPF and DMARC, and language.
Subdomains and paid traffic
Subdomains discovered and audited one by one, redirects and campaign landing pages.

Clear limits
What the audit can and cannot do
It is a read of the site, done from the outside. That defines what it sees and what it leaves untouched.
Allowed

Two perspectives
The experience and the content
The review separates content from ads and plugins.
The visitor experience
The page as the visitor sees it, with the theme, plugins and ad spaces.
- Shows density, anchors and banners stuck to buttons
- Reveals screens that appear before the content
- Measures the real layout on mobile
- On its own, it mixes content with what the scripts inject
The published content
The content the page actually delivers.
- Shows how much real text the page has
- Reveals hidden text and content that only exists via script
- Helps separate a content problem from a problem caused by a script
- On its own, it does not show the ad experience
What gets missed
What a manual review usually lets slip
Not out of carelessness, but because nobody opens thousands of pages at two widths.
Old pages
Posts from years ago, with an ad layout that has since changed, are still in the sitemap and still getting visits.
Forgotten subdomains
A test environment or an old store on a subdomain may be live without anyone remembering.
Differences on mobile
A layout that looks fine on a computer sticks the banner to the menu on a small screen.
Setup outside the site
ads.txt, domain email and redirects do not show up when you just browse the pages.
In ConsentMode
How a finding appears in the report
- Severity in three levels: critical can block the account, serious is a high risk or lost revenue, moderate is a possible gain
- A marked screenshot showing exactly where the problem is
- What is wrong, why it matters and which policy is at stake
- Where to fix it, with the path in WordPress, Ad Inserter, Ad Manager or Cloudflare
- Before and after, and how to confirm the fix worked
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything on the site?
No. The audit reads the site from the outside, like a visitor. There is no plugin or code to install.
Can the audit generate invalid traffic on my account?
No. The audit doesn't interact with ads and doesn't generate impressions or clicks.
The site has thousands of posts. Are they all included?
Yes. Large sites are reviewed in full, and ongoing monitoring keeps track of new pages.
Who sees the result?
Audits are private. They only appear to other people if you publish a public profile for the domain.
Does the audit replace Google's review?
No. Google is the one who decides. The audit shows the state of the site and what to fix beforehand.
