Tips

  • Get a recommendation. Google Ads shows recommended budgets for campaigns that repeatedly meet their average daily budget but can earn more clicks and impressions.
  • Actively monitor accounts. Check your account regularly to find campaigns that are limited by budget or have leftover spend. A limited budget could mean fewer clicks and impressions than you might have otherwise earned.
