Vaudit Achieves $30M Ad Spend Recovery Rate, Setting a New Standard for Cross-Platform Advertising Accountability

[San Francisco, Tue 24th March] — Vaudit, the authoritative standard in digital ad spend auditing, today announced it has reached $30 million in annual ad spend recovery rate, based on performance in February alone.

This milestone reflects Vaudit’s ability to identify and recover invalid spend across the full digital advertising ecosystem, spanning major global platforms including Google, Meta, Amazon Ads, TikTok, DV360, AppLovin, The Trade Desk, and more.

As advertising continues to fragment across platforms and channels, Vaudit is establishing itself as the independent audit layer ensuring advertisers only pay for valid, compliant traffic.

How Vaudit Drives Recovery

Vaudit’s $30M annualized recovery is delivered through two core mechanisms:

1. Pre-Bill Credits

Vaudit identifies billing inefficiencies and non-compliant traffic patterns before they are finalized in platform invoices. These include:

Vaudit can exclude traffic that does not meet platform billing standards across multiple advertising environments.

Using its proprietary Consensus Algorithm, Vaudit only excludes traffic where there is clear agreement with Google or Meta that it violates:

By applying these changes early, Vaudit prevents invalid or low-quality spend before it is billed.

2. Post-Bill Credits

For already billed spend, Vaudit identifies refund-eligible charges and works directly with platforms to recover funds.

This includes:

Vaudit’s structured, defensible audit outputs significantly increase the likelihood of successful post-bill recovery.

A New Standard for Multi-Platform Auditing

“Advertisers today are operating across more platforms than ever, but billing accountability hasn’t kept up,” said Michael Hahn, Founder of Vaudit. “Vaudit brings a consistent, audit-grade approach across the entire media mix, not just a single channel.”


Unlike fraud tools or performance optimizers, Vaudit delivers:
