Budget Pacing in Google Ads: What Most Marketers Get Wrong

Numerous businesses waste money when it comes to their Google Ads marketing campaigns, often through mistakes that can be avoided with ease. If your daily budget is $70, but the average cost per click is $100, you won't see results.

This gap shows you why Pay-Per-Click (PPC) budget management requires careful attention. A successful PPC campaign needs at least ten clicks daily with a ten percent conversion rate being considered excellent for non-branded campaigns. If you don't plan your budget, your money could disappear without providing results.
