It is not going over well.<\/p>\n<p>In the tweet, Google announced, \u201cTo help you hit your advertising goals, your campaigns can now spend up to twice your average daily budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Say what?<\/p>\n<p>The link leads to the broader notice that the change took effect Wednesday, and is not optional.<\/p>\n<p>What gets lost in the tweet, which reads like something from The Onion, is that that advertisers \u201cwon\u2019t be charged more than your\u00a0<strong>monthly charging limit<\/strong>: the average number of days in a month (30.4) multiplied by your average daily budget.\u201d That is obviously key. <em>To reiterate<\/em>: advertisers will <span>not<\/span> be charged for any overages above the expected monthly budget that come from this change.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283901\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/figz\/wp-content\/seloads\/2017\/10\/adwords-charges-daily-budget-100417-800x275.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"275\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The concept behind this change actually makes a lot of sense: that campaigns will be better equipped to account for lulls and spikes in daily activity. And, this is something Google has long been doing, just at a much lower increment. Before this update, campaigns could spend 20 percent more than the daily budget on a given day, but overall wouldn\u2019t exceed the calculated monthly budget.<\/p>\n<h2>Why oh why does AdWords only have daily budgets?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"fit-embeded\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We set budgets for A REASON. Do not make us guess what that figure should be. And what &#8220;goals&#8221; are you referring to exactly?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Julie F Bacchini (@NeptuneMoon) October 4, 2017<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>The real question to me isn\u2019t about the loss of control in yet one more area of campaign management, but why is daily still the only budgeting option? Why, particularly with this change forced on advertisers, isn\u2019t there an option to set a monthly budget or a budget for the duration of the campaign if it has a fixed run time? That\u2019s how budgets get allocated, and that\u2019s how managers are expected to operate. Daily bid adjustments don\u2019t address this issue. And usually the reason daily budgets get adjusted \u2014 resetting Google\u2019s monthly charging limit \u2014 is because advertisers see that campaigns are under or over performing.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the month, advertisers want to have had the opportunity to get as many qualified clicks and conversions as possible within their given budget. A daily budget is really just a limitation advertisers are forced into by having to allocate a monthly budget evenly throughout the 30-day period. But Google\u2019s change here \u2014 that daily spend could exceed the budget by \u201cup to 2 times\u201d \u2014 is also arbitrary. What if it turns out there are a handful of days when it would benefit the advertiser to triple the daily budget, knowing there are days that will spend a fraction of the daily limit?<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, if Sunday was a particularly slow day and my campaign only spent $200 of the $300 budgeted, I\u2019d want the system to automatically roll over the unspent $100 to be available Monday and allow the campaign to spend up to $400 that day. That\u2019s not quite what\u2019s happening here. How can advertisers know that their campaigns aren\u2019t being throttled after multiple days of heavy overspending, for example?<\/p>\n<h2>Overdelivery credits<\/h2>\n<p>With overdelivery credits, maybe it doesn\u2019t matter. \u201cSometimes we deliver over your monthly budget. In those cases, we\u2019ll credit the overdelivery cost back,\u201d says Google. This is the measure that should help advertisers feel a bit better about the change. Advertisers can see overdelivery by day from the Reports section in AdWords.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283916\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/figz\/wp-content\/seloads\/2017\/10\/google-adwords-overdelivery-report-800x435.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Google clarifies on this page that it considers monthly budgets to be\u00a0<em>calendar<\/em> month budgets and not a rolling 30.4 day period. That\u2019s good. The over delivery credits will show up in an advertiser\u2019s transaction history once they are processed and show up on the invoice once a month.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283951\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/figz\/wp-content\/seloads\/2017\/10\/adwords-budget-calendar-month-800x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"177\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.searchengineland.com\/~r\/searchengineland\/~3\/8ZX_yYve-T4\/google-adwords-twice-daily-budget-spend-283897\">see more here<\/a><\/p>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\r\n jQuery(document).ready(function() {\r\n    jQuery( \"#tabs_1794\" ).tabs({\r\n    collapsible: true,\r\n    active: false\r\n        });\r\n\tjQuery( \".scroller_1794\" ).width(jQuery( \".scroller_1794\" ).width()+1);\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n  });\r\n  \r\n  <\/script>\r\n  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See details of post Google announces AdWords daily budgets can overspend by 2x, automatically below On Wednesday afternoon, Google AdWords notified advertisers in their accounts and on Twitter that a change had already happened to the way budgets get handled on a daily basis.
