Free Flipkart ads audit: a 12-point self-check

A Flipkart ads audit is a structured review of where PLA spend goes and what ROI it brings back, before any bid is changed. This page gives a 12-point checklist you can complete from the Flipkart Ads reports in about an hour, in Flipkart's own terms: ROI, placements, FSNs, search terms and blocked balance. No form, no sales call.

Format
12 questions, answered from your own reports
Reports needed
Campaign, FSN, search term, placement performance
Key metric
ROI = ad revenue ÷ ad spend
Time
About an hour for a mid-sized account

Before you start

Download the last 30 days of the campaign, FSN, search term and placement performance reports from the Flipkart Ads panel. Write down each product's break-even ROI: one divided by its margin before ads (a 20% margin breaks even at ROI 5). Every question below is judged against it.

The Flipkart ads reports guide on this site explains each report. Blooprint's Flipkart ads guide on blooprint.in covers PLA setup; this page is only the checklist.

The 12-point checklist

  1. 1. ROI against break-even, by FSN

    Which FSNs run below their break-even ROI? Those lose money on every ad sale; decide whether each is a deliberate launch.

  2. 2. Structure

    Is each important FSN in its own campaign, or are dozens blended in one? Blended campaigns hide weak products behind strong ones.

  3. 3. Search term waste

    What share of spend goes to search terms with clicks and no orders? Each one still spending is a missing excluded keyword.

  4. 4. Keyword limits

    Are keyword campaigns near Flipkart's per-campaign limits on keywords and negatives (200 each, as agency guides report)? Split them before they fill.

  5. 5. Placement performance

    Which of the six placements bring orders, and which only clicks? Compare ROI by placement, not the campaign blend.

  6. 6. Placement bids

    Is the bid on the weakest placement still as high as on the strongest? Lower it before touching the rest.

  7. 7. Budgets

    Which campaigns exhaust their budget early, and are they your best ROI or your worst? Budget should follow ROI.

  8. 8. Blocked balance

    How much of the wallet is blocked for running campaigns, and is it starving new ones? Check before a sale event.

  9. 9. Smart ROI versus CPC

    For products in both models, which delivers better ROI at similar spend? Keep each FSN in the model that wins.

  10. 10. Unadvertised FSNs

    Which FSNs with stock and sales history have no active ads? Count them.

  11. 11. Eligibility and stock

    Are any advertised FSNs out of stock or not eligible for ads? Their campaigns stop or waste spend.

  12. 12. Direct versus indirect sales

    What share of ad revenue is indirect (another product bought after the click)? A high share flatters ROI for the advertised FSN.

Score each as fine, fix soon or fix now. Most accounts find three to five fix-now items, usually 1, 3, 5 and 7.

What BlooprintAI's Flipkart views add

The checklist takes an hour because the reports have to be joined by hand. Connect a Flipkart account during BlooprintAI's 7-day free trial and the same questions have their own views. It is software output, not a human review:

  • FSN-level ROI, spend and revenue in one table (questions 1, 2)
  • Search terms that triggered your ads, and excluded keywords uploaded in bulk with a confirmation step (3, 4)
  • Placement deep-dive and placement bids updated in bulk (5, 6)
  • Budget monitor and campaign health (7, 8)
  • Campaign-type comparison, unadvertised FSNs and attribution views (9, 10, 12)

Whatever you find, you fix yourself: review the summary, apply in bulk, keep the log. BlooprintAI does not change bids or budgets on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Flipkart ads audit free?

Yes. The checklist needs only your own Flipkart Ads reports. The software views run inside BlooprintAI's 7-day free trial, which takes no card.

What ROI should a Flipkart ad campaign have?

Above its break-even ROI, which is one divided by margin before ads. A product with a 25% margin needs an ROI above 4 to make money on ad sales.

How often should I audit Flipkart ads?

Run the full checklist monthly and before Big Billion Days. Questions 3, 7 and 8 (search term waste, budgets, blocked balance) deserve a weekly look.

Does it cover Shopsy?

Yes. Shopsy ads run on Flipkart's ad system, so the same reports and questions apply. Separate Shopsy campaigns by name to judge them apart.

Will someone from Blooprint review my account?

Not as part of this page or the trial. The trial gives you software output on your connected account. Blooprint offers consulting separately.
