Does the squandering of the advertising budget and poor targeting affect the achievement of your marketing campaign negatively?
To avoid this, you can use the Pause Ad Groups With No Active Keywords script in Google Ads to regularly review your Ad Groups and pause any that do not have active keywords. By doing so, you can ensure that your advertising budget is being used effectively to target the right audiences and achieve the desired results for your marketing campaign.
How does the script work?
The script works by automatically identifying any Ad Groups in your account that have no active keywords and pausing them.
The script runs on a schedule that you define, such as daily or weekly, and it scans your account to identify any Ad Groups that meet the criteria of having no active keywords. Once it identifies these Ad Groups, it automatically applies a "paused" status to them, which prevents your ads from showing to irrelevant audiences.
Before setting up the script, get familiar with the interface and navigation in Google ads.
