What is an ad schedule and why does it matter? While the general idea of a Google Ads ad schedule is self-evident, the specifics aren’t necessarily so. The most basic feature of the ad schedule is letting you control which time periods your ads are shown, but you can also use it to increase or decrease your bids for an ad during a set time.

And while it’s always smart to not get too gung-ho about any one bidding and marketing approach — especially one that can be expensive — target IS can be very useful if you use it right. We’re here to go […]
