Campaign total budget delivering slowly

By the Answerbid teamVerified 12 October 20262 min read

Short answer

A campaign with a total budget slows down when it is ahead of pace for its schedule. Without an end date, pacing assumes 60 days. Low bids can also cause underspend whatever the pacing. Set an end date, check bids, or change the budget to recalculate pacing.

Checks

  1. Is there an end date? If not, pacing spreads over 60 days
  2. Is the campaign ahead of pace?
  3. Any bid warnings?
  4. Change the total or end date to recalculate

Questions

Will it spend everything by the end date?

Not guaranteed. Pacing doesn't guarantee full budget use.
