anyone else dealing with dead campaigns today? launched a few search accounts, ads got approved in under an hour and status says active, but spend is completely stuck at $0.

tried increasing bids nd changing keywords, nothing is changing. testing trafficsaviour for lander routing on this batch setup is basic safe page redirect. so not sure if their backend is lagging or if google's post approval bot/crawler is choking delivery.

anyone else facing this right now or are these account just cooked.
 
give it some time, it's just been 1 day. Sometimes, this can happen.

if it keeps happening in a few days you know that theres an issue, but for now its too early to know
 
It could be a serving or account-level issue and check campaign diagnostics and keyword status and if everything is eligible just give it some time before making more changes.
 
From my view, If everything shows active but spend stays at zero give it some time first and also check search volume and any hidden eligibility issues before changing the setup again.
 
I frequently encounter the same issue when running Google Ads. I usually create a new campaign with a different landing page, and the ads will then start spending.
 
Yes, I have seen approved ads stay at $0 for a while you just check the campaign settings and targeting first since approval does not always mean immediate delivery.
 
Yes, sometimes approved ads just take a bit to start spending and check the billing or targeting and search volume first and then give it some time before changing things.
 
Do not keep changing bids and keywords too quickly because google can take time to adjust delivery after launch so just give the campaigns some time.
 
Check campaign diagnostics, sometimes all it takes to stop delivery is the campaign complaining your Gtag isn't set up properly.
 
Yes, I had similar cases before sometimes new accounts take a bit longer to get impressions even after the approval.
