## **🗺️ Overview**

Campaign Audit in Search Atlas only analyses campaigns that were **created directly inside Search Atlas**. If your campaign was set up in Google Ads and you connected your account afterward, Campaign Audit will not display any data for that campaign. This is a scope limitation, not a bug or connection error.

## **✅ Which Campaigns Does Campaign Audit Support?**

Campaign Audit supports campaigns that meet **all** of the following conditions:

- The campaign was **built inside Search Atlas** using the Campaigns tool.
- The campaign has been **launched and is active** within the platform.

Campaigns created externally — in the Google Ads interface, Google Ads Editor, or via the Google Ads API — are **not supported** by Campaign Audit, even if the same Google Ads account is connected to Search Atlas.

## **❌ Why External Google Ads Campaigns Don't Appear**

Campaign Audit is designed to audit the structure, settings, and performance of campaigns it directly manages. Because Search Atlas does not control the configuration of externally created campaigns, it cannot reliably audit or surface data for them. Connecting your Google Ads account allows Search Atlas to run and manage new campaigns, but it does not import or audit pre-existing campaigns from Google Ads.

## **🛠️ How to Check Where Your Campaign Was Created**

1. Navigate to the **Campaigns** section inside Search Atlas.
2. Review the list of campaigns shown. Only campaigns visible here were created in Search Atlas and are eligible for Campaign Audit.
3. If your active campaign does not appear in this list, it was created outside of Search Atlas and will not be audited.

## **📊 How to Audit a Campaign Created in Google Ads**

If you want Campaign Audit data for an existing campaign, the recommended approach is:

- **Recreate the campaign in Search Atlas:** Build the campaign from scratch inside the platform using the Campaigns tool. Once launched, Campaign Audit will begin tracking it.

## **💡 Tips for Getting the Most From Campaign Audit**

- Start new campaigns inside Search Atlas to ensure full audit coverage from day one.
- If you are unsure whether a campaign qualifies for Campaign Audit, check whether it appears in your Search Atlas Campaigns list before troubleshooting further.
