Summary
In this episode of The Google Ads Podcast, Lucas and Luna explain how Google Ads budget pacing works in 2026. They break down the difference between standard delivery and accelerated delivery, how Smart Bidding interacts with daily budgets, and why overspend is actually a feature, not a bug. Lucas walks through the mechanics of the 'spend cap' and how Google's algorithm smooths spend across the month. Luna shares a real-world example of a retail client who saw a 20% lift in conversions simply by switching from accelerated to standard delivery. They also discuss how shared budgets and portfolio bid strategies can prevent premature budget exhaustion. If you've ever wondered why your Google Ads budget runs out by 2 PM or why your campaign sometimes spends 130% of your daily budget, this episode will clear it up. No fluff, just practical mechanics for PPC managers and business owners running search ads in 2026. #GoogleAds #PPC #BudgetPacing #2026 #SmartBidding #DailyBudget #AdDelivery #Overspend #Marketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Advertising #SearchAds #BidStrategies #ROAS #ConversionTracking #CampaignManagement #DigitalMarketing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
