When you start with your campaign, you might still not know when to run your ads. However, as your campaign gains traction,  you will start gathering insights that will help you identify the peaks and the lows. All of this data is compiled by Google and offered to marketers via the Ad Scheduling option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into the intricacies, let&#8217;s look at how and when ad scheduling is most effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Show ads during business hours <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will explain the importance of Ad Schedule with an example. For instance, the Clothing store, as shown below, closes by 9 pm. It would be a wise step for them to not show their ads when they have closed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karooya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/clothing-store.png\" alt=\"clothing store ad schedule\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding when to show your ads makes your business flourish as it ensures meeting the timely requirements of a customer. A B2B firm that converts predominantly through phone calls between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays may not want their advertising to appear while the customer service crew is off duty. They should switch off their campaigns during the weekend and from 6 PM to 9 AM on the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they&nbsp;might still want to direct customers to the services page during off-hours to fill up a registration form. In this case, you could limit the hours of the campaign with the \u2018call extension\u2019, while still showing ads from the campaign created for lead generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limit showing ads during unproductive time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that, you would need to check out how your campaign is performing during the week. Go to your Google Ads account. On the left panel, click on the Ad Schedule to view your campaign&#8217;s performance on all days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karooya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/google-ads-ad-schedule.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karooya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/google-ads-ad-schedule.png\" alt=\"ad schedule google ads\" class=\"wp-image-19183\" width=\"436\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karooya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/google-ads-ad-schedule.png 871w, https:\/\/www.karooya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/google-ads-ad-schedule-300x293.png 300w, https:\/\/www.karooya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/google-ads-ad-schedule-768x749.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You may find a breakdown of the day and hour of campaign delivery, as well as its performance, in the following sub-sections.
