What Not to Do? The 6 Most Common Mistakes

  • Change everything at once – Make one change to your campaign at a time to understand what actually works.
  • Turning off campaigns without a plan – test, compare, analyze seasonality.
  • No reference to historical data – base your decisions on data from recent months.
  • Friday afternoon shifts – leave time to monitor results.
  • Chaotic account structure – fewer ad groups, more transparency.
  • Ignoring keyword work – negative keywords and query analysis are still a must-have.

Golden advice from an expert – Anna Wachowiec

" In Google Ads, impulsive changes are the most dangerous. If you want to understand what really works, make one change at a time and monitor its effect over time. Only then will you be able to distinguish a good decision from a costly mistake ."
