A dating SmartLink audit must separate traffic quality, routing quality and tracking quality. A weak total EPC does not reveal whether the source is poor, the route is mismatched or the conversion feedback is incomplete.
The audit compares source and placement economics, route behaviour, event delay, approval, payout reconciliation and fallback conditions before recommending changes.
| Audit layer | Checks | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic | Source, placement, GEO, device, creative and cost | Which segments deserve separate treatment? |
| Routing | Eligibility, destination selection, caps and fallback | Is the SmartLink making defensible decisions? |
| Tracking | Click IDs, events, status, payout and deduplication | Can reported performance be trusted? |
| Quality | Approval, rejection reasons, duplicates and downstream value | Is raw conversion overstating commercial value? |
| Scaling | Variance, route stability, capacity and stop limits | Can volume increase without losing economics? |
