​
What this audit checks

​
Authentication & access

  • OAuth2 client_credentials token mints from /oauth2/token and is cached under the 1-hour TTL

  • client_secret age within rotation window (warn beyond 90 days)

​
Spend & budget pacing

  • Daily spend vs dailyBudget per campaign from /2024-07/statistics/report (flag under-pacing <0.5x and over-pacing >1.5x)
  • Spend approaching spendLimit on capped campaigns (warn at >0.9x)
  • Zero-conversion spend burst on any dynamic campaign in the trailing 72h
  • Active campaigns with spend but status Paused or Archived mismatch

​
Campaign performance (ROAS / CTR / CPC)

  • ROAS per campaign from /2024-07/statistics/report vs roas threshold band
  • CTR per campaign and creative against ctr threshold band
  • CPC drift vs prior 7D same-day-of-week (flag >25% rise)
  • Retargeting ROAS drop >25% vs prior 7D same-DOW (cookie/ITP signal)

​
Conversion & attribution

  • First-party audience segment population below 500 algorithmic floor
  • Attributed revenue present in statistics report for spending campaigns (zero-revenue-with-spend alert)

​
Creative & audience health

  • Dynamic creatives in error/disapproved status from /2024-07/marketing-solutions/creatives
  • Campaigns with catalogId set but catalog has feed rejections (dynamic creative cannot render)
  • Audience segments under the 500-population floor degrading bids

​
Cross-platform revenue at risk

  • Active dynamic ads on commerce-sibling SKUs with qty=0 (ads on out-of-stock)
  • Spend on dynamic campaigns whose linked catalog has active feed rejections
  • Landing pages with LCP p75 >4000ms and conversion rate below half account average
  • Retargeted audiences overlapping email subscribers (branded/owned-channel cannibalisation)
