If this change affects your ads, you can turn them back on if needed. However, Google advises reviewing your ad groups first and only unpausing ones you expect to get impressions in the coming weeks. If unpaused ad groups don\u2019t get any impressions in the following three months, Google will automatically pause them again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editing<\/strong>. Google confirmed that you will still be able to update your ad groups and make changes while they are in a paused state in case you want to unpause them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care.<\/strong> Navah Hopkins, Optmyzr Brand Evangelist and President of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.navahhopkins.com\/\">Navah Hopkins LLC<\/a>, explained this move would improve budget efficiency and campaign quality for advertisers. She said on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/navahhopkins_i-am-over-the-moon-with-this-update-for-activity-7169308669715668992-G1h8\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop\">LinkedIn<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI am over the moon with this update! For years I have been begging brands to pause what\u2019s not working so budget efficiency can win the day. This is absolutely a net positive.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGoogle sets budgets at the campaign level. If you have too many ad groups (looking at you accounts with 10+), odds are your budget won\u2019t be able to support all of them.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAd groups with no impressions drag down the overall quality of the campaign. If you have too many keywords and ad groups doing nothing, that averages in bad data. Zero impressions is not the same as low search volume and it is confirmed low search volume keywords are not going to hurt you. However if you have an otherwise \u201cworthy\u201d keyword\/ad group that\u2019s just not getting any action, it\u2019s going to average in bad data.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPausing is not the same as removing. You can always get it back. Also, that the timeline is 13 months confirms this is looking at established accounts and factoring in seasonality.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- START INLINE FORM --><br \/>\n<!-- END INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-css-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>Deep dive<\/strong>.
