One of the best advantages to scheduling your Google ads campaigns is that you will be able to find your target audience and then it’s simple to make them take action.

How to determine Google Ads timings?

Google Ads can be optimized for the account of the day such as a specific day in the week, you can schedule your Google ads at the time of days or hours ( when your audience shows interest to convert). The main advantages of this custom ad schedule include:

1. Spend your daily budget even

In Google Analytics, tap the Acquisition button, go to “Google Ads” choose Hours to check you’re spent on Google Ad Grant dollars.

You can easily check your account by spending each day. So if you have evenly spent all your Ad Grant budget, then you will be notified like this:

You have spent your grant even every day, in your customer’s most active online timings, and your Ad Grant budget will run out around midnight.

If you have spent all your Google Ad dollars every early, I mean before the day ends. Then probably you will receive a message like this:

Your Google Ads is getting in peak, it will drop out in the middle of the day if you reach most out of your budget. In such cases, like if your ad budget expires before the day ends or early in the midday, then you will miss the huge traffic that searches for related products or services.

You can fix all these issues by maintaining the right custom ad schedule for evenly spending your budget and make sure you run your Google ads at the time of high-interest or high-converting time so that you will surely get complete benefit from Google Ads dollars.

Do you have any ideas related to your audience’s interests and when they are most engaged?

2. Target high search-volume hours

With Google Trends, you will get to know that at a specific time the search volume for ‘HIV’ is spiking high and that’s how it works.

Then, if your ad budget ends in advance of the specific time, then ultimately you’ll miss out on the interested audience in peak hours.

Using Google Trends, and tools related to keyword research, you will clearly inauthentic topics and issues that people search related to your organizations.

Therefore you can create your schedule to advertise campaigns related to that, including your website organic traffic and understanding your user’s needs.

You can customize your Ad schedule and run your campaign when needed to make sure that it reaches this kind of audience (the best time for running ads to reach users who search for relevant resources).

But it’s ideal to schedule your Ad campaign based on the high converting visitors and peak hours accordingly.

You can analyze your Google Ads report for hours of the day (tap Acquisition, go to Google Ads and click into Hour of the day) you will find the exact time when your Google Ads traffic is getting the highest conversion rates.
