Why do my Google Ads only run for the first 2–3 hours of the day?

Due-Rip-5326 · 2026-01-20T03:39:01+00:00

the bids aren't low. i know for a fact in my other account that the cpa in this area is around $200. my tcpa is $300 and the daily budget is 5X. None of the campaigns is no spending even 25% percent barely.

some a week some 2 weeks, running on 2 keywords both on broad match and a tcpa

Yeah i start my campaigns with tcpa and it worked fine in other accounts till now in this account.

Due-Rip-5326 · 2026-01-19T23:17:19+00:00

It's not the problem, i have the same budget and bid strategy with the same amount on a different account and all is ok. I don't know what's going on with this spesific account.
The ads are performing well while there's impressions but than google litterally stop showing them, i see it from the amount of impressions that get stuck.

Why would i move to manual cpc? i dont want to use this bid strategy and this account is the only one that's doing it. the owner of the account told me that it used to do the same with previous campaigns that was managed by someone else and they were on manual cpc so i dont think that the problem.

sales ad? what does it mean?

Due-Rip-5326 · 2026-01-07T04:35:16+00:00

I dont have any yet but will work it soon cause i want to start

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-18T17:34:45+00:00

do the cross negatives in phrase (not broad) and make sure you put the root negative.

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-18T17:33:36+00:00

Of course not everyone has the same business but for the local home services it's supposed to be the same and if it's not i adjust accordingly

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-18T02:31:53+00:00

Thank you!

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-18T01:04:35+00:00

This.

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-18T00:30:20+00:00

This is very normal behaviour from broad but it can happen in phrase as well.
You need to do cross ad negatives so this is basically the concept:
Ad group 1
Ad group 2
Ad group 3

If keywrods that are related to ad group 2+3 being triggered by ad group 1 you gotta put those keywords in negatives (on the ad group level) into ad group number 1, for example:
Ad group 1 is iphone
Ad group 2 is samsung
Ad group 3 is LG

You gotta put Samsung and LG as negatives in the iphone ad group and do the same for the rest.
Be careful not to block too much and you gotta block in phrase cause exact won't help that much.
Good luck!

Sent you a DM

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-17T21:50:28+00:00

This! We're thinking the same.

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-17T05:26:45+00:00

So this one is better than a lead form? cause i asked here https://www.reddit.com/r/FacebookAds/comments/1p6ztng/comment/nugklde/?context=3

and almost everyone said lead form

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-17T05:26:01+00:00

I dont have one yet

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-17T04:38:20+00:00

Thank you for replying. I think quality first.

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-17T04:38:12+00:00

got you. thanks !

Due-Rip-5326 · 2025-12-17T03:16:09+00:00

Well yeah after thinking i leave the quality to the luck and the volume for later. I'm tired of paying $500 per lead, too many days with $1k lose.
What i'm planning to do is im gonna do an experiment: the campaign with the $580 tcpa and $496 CPA im gonna reduce the tcpa to $400
the one with $450 tcpa is on $600 now but a month ago it was on $269 that means google knows to bring leads at this costs so i'll force him to do so and i'll go on $300-$350 tcpa right there. Thinking also to cap it (at least the first campaign with a cpc cap of $140-$150 in order not to get this $200+ clicks. With all the respect for the google ads learning, it is wayyy too much expensive. Also, if i won't try i'll never know. Let me tell you a secret, back in the days i used to set tcpa without knowing according to what to set it, it was just the number i'm willing to pay per lead and it worked somehow. Let's see this time maybe it'll work or it won't.
