Some campaigns look unprofitable in the first hours and recover later. How long do you wait before making a decision when conversions are delayed?

That actually true and the waiting part depend on the budget you have if its limited budget i dont think you can wait but make sure the keyword is just more focus on buying intent

I’ve learned not to panic over the first few hours of data. Some campaigns we’ve run looked bad early on but caught up once delayed conversions came through. I usually wait for enough data based on the campaign’s normal conversion cycle before making changes.

A few hours mean nothing in the CPA world.
A few days would make more sense. But what is certain is that a profitable campaign always starts becoming so in the first 2 weeks

I usually wait 24 to 72 h depending on the offer some niches just convert slow
Same story with gambling offers on tier 3 GEOs - registration to first deposit can lag a couple of days easily, especially on push traffic where intent is lower. I judge early hours on CTR and reg quality, but never kill a campaign on deposit numbers before at least 48h.
