Google Ads Campaign Checklist

September 5, 2025 — Simon Kelly

Google Ads Campaign Checklist

We recently shared our Google Ads Guide for Marketing Managers, and the feedback was clear: marketing managers want practical tools to measure ROI and campaign success.

So, we created a checklist you can use before launching your next Google Ads campaign.

This 7-phase checklist covers everything you need to oversee campaigns with confidence:

  1. Review
  2. Set Up
  3. Plan
  4. Build
  5. Launch
  6. Manage
  7. Optimise

This isn’t about learning every feature inside Google Ads – it’s about knowing which levers matter and how to hold your Google Ads Agency or team accountable.
