Adobe Target can help enterprises run A/B tests, experience targeting, automated personalization, and recommendations at scale. But simply having Adobe Target implemented does not guarantee that a personalization program is delivering meaningful business results.

Over time, activities can become outdated, audiences can become too fragmented, tracking can drift, and teams may continue running tests without learning from previous results. This is where an Adobe Target audit becomes valuable.

An audit examines the technical implementation, activities, audiences, reporting, experimentation process, governance, and business outcomes of your Adobe Target program. Adobe itself recommends regular auditing of Target implementations and emphasizes an iterative process of planning, building, testing, analyzing, and improving optimization activities.

This guide covers 12 signs your Adobe Target personalization program may be underperforming, along with practical steps to improve it.

What Is an Adobe Target Audit?

An Adobe Target audit is a structured review of how Adobe Target is implemented, configured, managed, and used across your digital experiences.

A comprehensive audit can examine:

• Target implementation and JavaScript deployment
• Target requests and parameters
• Activities and experiences
• Audiences and targeting rules
• Conversion and revenue metrics
• A/B and multivariate testing
• Automated Personalization and Auto-Target
• Personalization strategy
• Reporting and analytics integrations
• Governance and activity management
• Performance and page experience
• Testing processes and optimization workflows

Adobe Target activities define the experiences visitors receive, the audiences that qualify, and the metrics used to determine performance. Poor configuration in any of these areas can make personalization results difficult to interpret.
