Hello all, I activated a few new display campaigns yesterday targeting custom intent audiences and a retargeting audience. Google shows my campaigns as 'eligible (learning)' and says there are 4 days left for learning. No impressions show up yet. Does this mean it will take 5 days to start getting impressions while it's 'learning'?

Impressions start within few hours of your campaign gettimg started. There might be few reasons for 0 impression. 1) Your audience may be too narrow 2) Check your ad copies if they have been approved 3) Put ad extensions to benefit out much 4) Check your keywords. are they mostly exact matches or phrase match 5) May be your product is in a category where there is low demand in this Covid 19 situation and people are not searching for that keyword / product

Are you sure that your ads are approved?

@raynell9 I just inspected further and discovered my ads are still in review although all of the assets are approved.

@poultry Yes. That's exactly what happens with ALL of us nowadays. All assets approved, but the ad itself is Under Review. Please wait. maybe 10 days. It's not a joke! The real situation. I want to cry.

@raynell9 10 days? Are Google employees not able to keep working from home?

Keep following suggestions to boost the score, as much as you can. Responsive ads have been tough to get done. I don't know exactly where the threshold is, I'm trying to drive the score up to 9/10 if I can because every day we lose is money.

@poultry they're working remote, but a lot of them are on GSM/EDGE connections. Keep in mind they're overseas, and India and Philippines are in various states of lockdown.

@eastern Thanks, it makes more sense. Do you if display ads v responsive ads are getting approved quicker?

@poultry I have no idea on display. The last batch I created was 3 weeks ago. It was a simpler age back then.
