# Are your ads sending people to a checkout that works?

We read your shop and live ads against the advertising rules, test your checkout and discount codes, and check the pages your ads open. The findings are yours whether or not you go ahead.

* Ad claims that could be rejected by Meta or Google
* Discount codes and checkout steps that show an error
* Ads that send people to pages that no longer exist
* A first read of your ad accounts

## Get your free scan

A few details and we will be in touch to set it up. Add your shop address, and roughly what you spend on ads each month, in the message.

No commitment. Your details are used only to run your scan. [Open the form on its own page](/contact?enquiry=free-scan)

To confirm: how long the scan takes, and what access we need for the first read of your ad accounts.

## Four things we check

The same kinds of checks that run every day inside Crank OS, run once on your shop.

### Ad rules

Your site and live ads read against the Meta and Google advertising policies. Each finding is marked as confirmed or as a likely issue.

### Checkout and discount codes

Codes that show an error, and checkout steps that fail, tested the way a shopper would meet them.

### Pages your ads open

Pages that no longer exist, addresses that do not load, and products that have gone from your shop but are still advertised.

### A first read of your ad accounts

A first look at how Meta and Google are set up and spending, so the findings above can be put in context.

To confirm

There are two levels of scan. The simple check needs no access: we look at the stock levels and product information on your website. The fuller scan needs access to your accounts, and also covers pricing, your Google Ads set-up, discount codes and your product feed. What each level includes, and how long each takes, is still to be confirmed.

## What the findings look like

Each finding says what it is, where it is, and what to do. Plain words, ready to hand to whoever fixes it.

Walked through with someone from our team before our first meeting, and yours to keep.

## Questions about the scan

### What does it cost?

Nothing. The findings are yours whether or not you go ahead.

### Do you change anything in my shop or ad accounts?

No. The scan only reads.

### What do you need from me?

Your shop address to start. A first read of your ad accounts needs access, which we agree with you first.

### Will you get in touch afterwards?

We will offer a short call to walk through the findings. You can stop there.

### Is this the same as the daily checks in Crank OS?

The same kinds of checks, run once. With Crank OS they run every day and arrive in the daily digest.

### Does it work for shops that are not on Shopify?

The checkout checks are built for Shopify. The ad rules and the first read of your ad accounts do not depend on it. **\[To confirm\]**
