The campaign was rebuilt and launched before the start of the new week to give Google time to adjust to the new setup. Instead of quick fixes, the focus was on long-term optimization by restructuring the entire account.
This included separating ad groups by location, adding intent-based keywords, and writing new ad copy for each segment. We also made sure all irrelevant traffic was filtered out using negative keywords and by disabling options that typically lower performance, like search partners and auto assets.
