Set up a launch-day ad checklist

Catch errors before they consume the campaign budget.

Check the experience the buyer will get

Open every scheduled destination with the campaign’s actual tagged link. Confirm the promoted price, geography, expiration, and stock. For a lead campaign, send a test submission and verify who receives it. A valid URL can still land on the wrong variant or language.

Check the experience the buyer will get. Limit the impact of a bad start. Verify early signals in context.
Key decisions covered in this article.

Limit the impact of a bad start

Start with a budget and schedule that match support coverage. Record who can stop delivery and under what conditions. For example, pause a region if its checkout shows an expired offer rather than waiting for an aggregate conversion report.

Verify early signals in context

In the first review, check spend, eligibility, and whether sample events arrive. Avoid judging sales too early if orders take days to settle. Save the launch settings and log corrections so a later report can separate launch problems from customer response.

Divide remaining spend by the days left in a campaign. Adjust the daily figure for changes in expected demand.
