    When I want to use ad scheduling for campaigns that run in different countries with different time zones - how does that work?

    Do I have to use Mountain Time for the active times and then adjust it to meet - let's the UK?

    Example:

    Adwords is Mountain Time (GMT-7) for me.
    I want to run a campaign during business hours in the UK.

    Business hours UK are midnight Mountain Time (7.00 AM GMT) to noon Mountain Time (7.00 PM GMT).

    So, would I schedule the geo-targeted campaign for midnight to noon as Adwords shows Mountain Time for me?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    The only thing that you need to know is that your AdWords account only knows
    the time zone that you have configured it: Mountain Time (GMT-7) and it is independent of where you targeted your campaign.

    So schedule the times based on Mountain Time even you target UK, China or Japan - the schedule is only based on Mountain Time, because is the only time that your AdWords account base to schedule everything.

    Uk business hours are 9am to 5pm. mon-fri

    But to be honest, you get lots of uk business customers browsing for business reasons from 7am to 11pm. Before work and once they have travelled home from work.
