You may already be familiar with Google's auto-applied recommendations, so let us start by saying that the TrueCicks version is quite the opposite.
In this part of TrueClicks, you can choose the settings, negative keyword(s) (lists), and placement exclusion(s) (lists) that should be applied automatically to each campaign in the account or a selection of campaigns based on their name.
Below, you'll find the current categories and corresponding tasks you can let TrueClicks preview or auto-apply.
With preview, we flag and list elements that aren't compliant with your preferences so you can review them and take action on your own.
Some tasks are set to Preview by default, as we believe nearly all accounts should be notified for noncompliance on these issues.With auto-apply, we make the necessary adjustments to make your campaigns compliant while you sleep (or do something more creative with your time).
