There are two cases where Google Ads will mark your campaign status as 'Limited by budget' and provide budget recommendations:
- Your campaign is under-performing due to a limited budget.
- You’re using Maximise Clicks bidding and could increase traffic by adjusting your budget.
This article explains how to fix this 'Limited by budget' status by finding your campaign's recommended budget. Applying your campaign’s recommended budget will help you increase clicks and impressions.
Before you begin
Google Ads won't display a recommended average daily budget if you rarely meet your average daily budget, or if your campaign has limited data. If you can't see a recommended budget, and you know that your ads aren't being shown as often as they could because your budget is limited, you might want to consider raising your budget to an amount that you're comfortable with.
How it works
Recommended budgets are based on the following factors:
- Recent campaign performance
- Current campaign budget
- Keyword list
- Campaign targeting settings
