Critical
Can block the account. It is the first to be handled, even if the fix seems small.
Product · Report
A report that tells you what to fix, where and how
Every problem comes with a marked screenshot, a simple explanation, the rule at stake and the exact path to fix it in WordPress, Ad Inserter, Ad Manager or Cloudflare. The fixes become tasks the team marks as done.

Who it is for
Made for those who need to fix, not just those who need to know
A report that only says something is wrong makes the work harder when it is time to fix. The ConsentMode report was designed for those who open WordPress right after reading, whether the site owner, the writer or the ads person.
Each finding answers the same questions, always in the same order: what is wrong, why it matters, where to fix it, how it looks before and after and how to confirm it worked.
When the problem is a setting that applies to the whole site, such as ads.txt or the domain email, it becomes a single task. When it depends on the page, each URL becomes its own task.
Severity
Three levels to know where to start
The level tells the size of the risk, not the size of the work.
Serious
High risk or loss of revenue. It must go into the plan right after the critical ones.
Moderate
Possible gains. Adjustments that improve the experience or revenue with no immediate risk.
Anatomy of a finding
What comes with each problem found
- Marked screenshotThe page capture, on mobile or desktop, with the problem highlighted. Nobody has to guess which banner the report is talking about.
- What is wrongA simple sentence, without jargon. For example: the banner is a few pixels from the next page button.
- Why it mattersThe rule at stake, whether a Google publisher policy, a Better Ads Standard or a consent rule.
- Where to fixThe exact path in WordPress, Ad Inserter, Ad Manager or Cloudflare, so whoever fixes it does not have to search.
- Before and afterHow it is today and how it should be after the fix.
- How to confirmWhat to look at to be sure the fix worked, before requesting a review from Google.
Two types of task
Task by URL and site-wide task
The report separates what is fixed page by page from what is fixed only once.
Task by URL
For problems that depend on the page: short content, a banner stuck to a button, a title that promises too much.
- Each page can be marked as done
- Good for dividing the work among writers
- Shows the real progress of the fix
- Many URLs with the same error call for a fix at the source
Site-wide task
For settings that apply to everything: ads.txt, duplicate tags, footer pages, domain email, language.
- A single task instead of thousands of repeated lines
- Fixed once, it solves all pages
- Usually requires administrator access

In practice
From report to review in one week
Before
A team of three people received a policy warning and did not know where to start on a site with hundreds of posts.
After
The report separated two critical findings, one setup task and a list of URLs. Each person took a part and marked the tasks as they fixed them.
The critical ones were resolved first, in Ad Inserter. The setup task was done only once. When all the tasks were marked, the team checked with a new audit and only then requested the review.
How not to use it
Common mistakes when working with the report
The report helps most when read in the right order.
Starting with the moderate ones
They are the easiest, but they do not protect the account. Always start with the critical ones.
Fixing URL by URL what belongs to the template
If the same finding appears on hundreds of pages, fix it in the Ad Inserter block or in the theme.
Marking as done without confirming
Use the how to confirm step before marking. A task marked without checking misleads the team.
Requesting a review before finishing
Review requests have limits at Google. Finish the tasks and check before requesting.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send the report to a client in another country?
Yes. The report is available in 11 languages.
Does the report say which policy was violated?
Each finding explains why it matters and which rule is at stake, whether a Google policy, a Better Ads Standard or a consent rule.
Who can see the report?
Audits are private. They only appear to other people if you publish the domain's public profile.
Does the report make the fix on its own?
No. ConsentMode is read-only. It shows where and how to fix, and the fix is made by you or your team.
Can I see whether the fix worked?
Each finding says how to confirm. A new audit, or scheduled monitoring, shows whether the problem is gone.
