Google Ads budgets: daily averages, costs and profit

Understand budgets without confusing revenue with profit.

Portfolio visual example; not research data.

What the documentation says

An average daily budget is not a strict daily cap. Many campaigns may spend up to twice that average on a day, subject to applicable charging limits. [1] [2]

How I would apply it

My recommendation: separate media, management and creative costs. Sales revenue is not profit; evaluate the cost of delivering the product or service and other expenses too.

Before you start
