The Seasonality Profit Switch
How to Unlock Hidden Profit in Your Google Ads Without Raising Spend
🚀
Overview
Most advertisers only think about Black Friday or Christmas when it comes to seasonality.
But here's the hidden lever:
- 👉 Your campaigns already have micro-seasons every day, week, and month.
- 👉 If you don't adjust to them, you're wasting money.
Top brands use seasonality switches to capture more profit when conversion rates spike — and to cut waste when demand is low.
🎯 Why This Works
- ✅ Better Efficiency - Push harder when your audience converts better.
- ✅ Reduced Waste - Scale back during low-intent hours/days.
- ✅ Higher Profit Margins - Same budget, smarter distribution.
- ✅ Granular Control - You stop guessing and let data dictate spend.
