Budgeting in Google Ads can seem straightforward, but in reality, it's far more complex than just setting a dollar amount. In episode 93 of the Inside Google Ads podcast, Google Ads Coach Jyll Saskin Gales dives into the nuances of how Google manages your budget and breaks down three common budget issues that can impact your campaign performance.
If you’ve ever been confused about where your ad dollars are actually going, this episode will provide clarity on Google Ads' budgeting mechanics and give you actionable steps to take control of your spend.
Key Topics Discussed:

• Why being "Limited By Budget" can hure your campaign performance
• The difference between a red warning and a yellow recommendation for "Limited by Budget"
• When a "Limited by Budget" status is actually a signal for growth
• How an ad schedule can dramatically inflate your effective average daily budget.
• The relationship between your average daily budget, daily spending limit, and monthly spending limit.
• Introducing the new Campaign Total Budget option and when it's the right choice for your campaigns.

Plus, stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new Insider Challenge to solve!
