£985.54 spent in 3 hour-blocks that rarely convert
SCHEDULE open score 20 · confidence 30% · effort low
Hours with ≥ 3% of spend and under a third of the proportional conversions: 20:00–21:00 (£328.51, 4 conv, 305 clicks); 21:00–22:00 (£328.51, 4 conv, 305 clicks); 22:00–23:00 (£328.51, 4 conv, 305 clicks).
≈ £394.22 per 90 days redeployedAssumption: 40% of the spend in these blocks is redeployed to converting hours.
Under Smart Bidding, ad-schedule bid adjustments are ignored and the platform already weighs time of day, so do not add adjustments. If the business genuinely cannot serve these hours (nobody answers the phone, no bookings possible), exclude them with a −100% schedule; otherwise treat this as a signal to check that conversions are being imported with the right timestamps.
Written for the campaign's current bidding strategy: Maximise conversions (applies to Smart Bidding strategies only).
