Wasted spend includes any budget spent on clicks that have zero probability of converting: irrelevant search queries, clicks from non-target geographies, clicks during non-business hours for B2B services, and keywords that have statistically proven they will not convert after sufficient data. On average, 20-30% of Google Ads budgets go to wasted clicks.
Start with the search terms report: sort by cost descending and identify queries spending money without conversions. Then check geographic performance for location leaks, review device segmentation for non-converting devices, and audit keywords that have spent 3x your CPA target without a single conversion.
You can start cutting waste immediately by adding negative keywords from your search terms report and tightening geographic targeting. Most accounts see measurable ROAS improvement within 1-2 weeks of implementing initial negative keywords and location exclusions. A comprehensive audit typically recovers 15-40% of budget within 30 days.
