Create an ad schedule

An ad schedule allows you to display ads or change bids during certain times. You can create a maximum of 6 ad schedules per day for each campaign in your account.

This article explains how to create a schedule for an ad.

Instructions

  1. Go to Ad schedule within the Campaigns menu Campaigns Icon.
  2. Select the pencil icon Edit, then select a campaign to create an ad schedule for.
  3. Make your selections for specific days and times.
  4. Select Save. You'll find your changes reflected on the "Ad schedule" page.

How to review your ad schedule

When you create an ad schedule, your ads will only be eligible to show during the times you specify. Your ad won’t show during the dates and times that aren't listed on your ad schedule. Make sure your ad schedule includes all the days and times you want your ad to be eligible to show. Here’s how to review your ad schedule:

  1. Go to Ad schedule within the Campaigns menu Campaigns Icon.
  2. You’ll notice a chart that shows the times your campaign’s ads showed. By default, the chart will show the number of clicks your ads received.
    • To view your campaign’s impressions, CTR, average CPC, or cost, select the metric you’d like to view from the "Clicks" drop-down in the top right corner.
  3. Choose a subtab to review your ad schedule and performance by "Day and Hour", "Day", or "Hour".

How to edit your ad schedule

  1. Go to Ad schedule within the Campaigns menu Campaigns Icon.
  2. To edit your ad schedule, select the pencil icon Edit.
    • To remove a time period, select the “x”.
    • To adjust dates and times, select the dates or times you’d like to change and select new ones.
    • To add a new date and time to your ad schedule, select Add.
  3. Select Save.
