Check spend
Compare actual cost with the approved budget and confirm ads are serving only in intended locations.

Ad spend is paid directly to Google. Review spend, search terms, locations, leads/conversions, and campaign status regularly. Do not judge success by clicks alone, and make budget changes deliberately.
Compare actual cost with the approved budget and confirm ads are serving only in intended locations.

Pause a campaign when the business cannot handle leads or when tracking/landing pages are broken. Get help before large structural changes.
