Maintain Your Campaign Settings

The Auto-Apply feature for 'Campaign Settings' helps you effortlessly align your campaign settings with your preferences. It does this by automatically scanning your campaigns daily and making necessary adjustments.

A brief refresher of how it works:

Auto-Apply helps you streamline your campaign management by making sure your preferences are applied consistently across all campaigns.

We offer two modes for this:

  • Preview Mode

    • TrueClicks identifies any parts of your campaigns that don't align with your specified preferences.

    • It will not make any changes automatically

    • This is a great starting point to understand how auto-apply works and make sure you're comfortable with the suggestions.

  • Auto-Apply Mode

    • When you set a task to auto-apply, TrueClicks will actively make necessary changes to match your preferences (including adding negative keywords).

    • All changes are documented, so you have a complete log of actions taken.

Important Note:
You have complete control over which tasks are enabled for Auto-Apply.

Auto-Apply Tasks: Campaign settings

1. Location Targeting

  • Task: Only target people in (or regularly in) your targeted locations

  • Auto-Apply Action: Prevents your ads from showing to people who searched for your targeted location but are physically outside of it.

2. Display Expansion

  • Task: Disable Display Expansion on Search campaigns

  • Auto-Apply Action: Restricts your search ads to Google search results, preventing them from appearing on the Display Network.

4. Ad Rotation

  • Task: Preferred ad rotation setting
