    Hi all

    We have a new website and have a google campaign running, though its showing at the wrong time, it alsways shows at 11pm tonight until 5am in the morning, when we want it to show like between 8am in the morning and 10pm at night,

    we are new at google adwords so how would we change this?

    Thanks
    Whocky

    what time zone did you create the account in? Your time zone is off, correct it and set the display times to local hours and you should be fine.

    Hello!

    My first suggestion would have been to check time zones (we've had problems with this ourselves recently) but since they are ok then I'd suggest checking if your campaign budgets are met in a given day, possibly increase the budget and also set the campaign settings to 'Accelerated delivery' rather than 'Standard'. That will show your ads as quickly as possible until your budget is met, rather than evenly showing your ads so that the budget is met only at the end of the day.

    Are you using the 'Ad scheduling' feature to set the times your campaign shows?
