Help/Advice
Posted by on January 14, 2026 at 9:05 pmAd campaign has been running for sometime, but leads always had some spam. Action taken was taking it off google search partners and it sort of worked. recently i switched majority of keywords from broad to phrase, then a few days later, reverted the change, a few days later (yesterday) changed all back to phrase and added budget since leads were much cleaner now. Ensured it was less than 20% of current budget
However all of today, zero conversions, zero clicks, zero impressions. – in truth i did alot of changes this week and last week including bid strategy changes etc.
Is this normal and will clear out or signs of something deeper? It's never been zero in anything before

Day‑to‑day fluctuation is normal, but zero impressions usually indicate an eligibility or configuration issue after your changes. Check ad/campaign status and disapprovals, billing, targeting (location/schedule/device), and negatives overlapping your new phrase keywords; also confirm bid strategy targets aren’t too tight. Use Preview & Diagnosis and Change History to pinpoint the culprit.

zero across impressions, clicks, and conversions usually points to something mechanical, not performance.
after multiple changes in a short window, especially match types, bid strategy, and budget, it’s common to accidentally put the campaign into a state where it can’t enter auctions. things to double-check are bid strategy eligibility, max CPCs or targets being too restrictive, budget vs bid conflicts, keywords paused or limited by policy, and whether ads are actually approved and eligible.
learning resets can cause volatility, but they don’t usually produce a hard zero. i’d audit eligibility first before assuming it’ll just clear out.
