Google has rolled out a change to how budget pacing works in campaigns that use ad scheduling, which could affect how some advertisers spend throughout the month.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your campaigns only run on selected days or hours, you may notice a difference. Google is not changing your schedule, but it may try to spend more of your budget during the times your ads are eligible to run.<\/span><\/p>\n

That means some advertisers could start seeing budgets deplete faster than they are used to, even though their schedules are exactly the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until now, campaigns with limited schedules have often spent less over the course of a month simply because they were not eligible to run all the time. Fewer hours in the market meant fewer chances to enter auctions, which naturally held spending back.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this update, Google changes that behavior. Campaigns no longer underspend because of limited schedules, and the system spends more during the hours and days when the campaign is active.<\/span><\/p>\n

The schedule is still the same. What will change is how Google allocates its budgets within those windows.<\/span>
