3 change(s) that move spend, 2 housekeeping change(s), 11 note(s), and 2 change(s) set aside from 15 rule(s), over reports covering 2026-07-03 to 2026-08-31. The changes that move spend stop 347.28 USD a month, 13.8% of the account's pace of 2,518.06 USD a month. Keyword, target, search-term and product-ad figures stop at 2026-08-17, the last day whose orders are complete; campaign figures are read over the last 28 days, 2026-08-04 to 2026-08-31. Every money figure is in USD. Changes come first, the one that removes the most spend at the top.

Changes

Each row is one action in the Ads console. "Spend stopped a month" is the spend the change stops, scaled to a month of 30.4 days from the window the row names; inside a campaign with a daily budget, that spend goes to the campaign's other terms. "Spend", "Clicks" and "Orders" are what the term, page, or campaign took over that window; a dash under "Orders" means the rule did not read orders. A negation is not proof the term never converts: it stops spend on a term that took at least the clicks the rule needs with no order. "Checked" is how many terms, pages, or campaigns the rule looked at; each rule reads its own set, so the count differs by rule. A dash means the figure does not apply to the row; 0.00 is a zero.

Pause Northwind Outdoor — Trail Tent Exact, which took 507 clicks and brought no order.

This pause covers the whole subject, so the change rule P7 proposed on it was set aside; that row sits under "changes set aside".

2 housekeeping change(s): 1 pause(s) of campaigns that take no click or no impression, 1 budget cap(s) at the most the campaign spent in a day

Read this list once; every row is the same kind of change. Each one changes no spend the account did over the window. A budget cap is checked only on campaigns that never reached their budget, and it holds on a future day that would need more. A cap removes the headroom the campaign had above its best day; before a peak season, read the caps before applying them. the "Spend" column is the campaign's spend over the window, not money the change moves. "Checked" on a cap row counts the enabled campaigns that never reached their budget over the window; the pause rules read every enabled campaign, so their count is higher.

Set the daily budget of Northwind Outdoor — Headlamp Phrase from 50 to 10.67, the most it spent in one day over the last 28 days.

Housekeeping. The campaign never reached its budget over the window, so the cap changes no spend it did. A future day that needs more than the new figure stops there.

Notes

What the audit saw and did not turn into an action. "Spend" is what the term, page, campaign, or account spent over the window, not money at stake. A dash means the figure does not apply to the row.

1C1negate a term that never sold

2 search terms took clicks with no order here but sold in another ad group or on days too recent for their orders to be final, so no negative is proposed for them. Together they spent 25.29 USD over the window; run the audit again on or after 2026-09-14 to read those days with their orders complete.

2 paused campaigns still carry 450.00 USD a day in budgets; the account spends 82.83 USD a day. A campaign switched back on can spend up to its budget that day. Setting each budget to the lowest Amazon allows, or archiving the campaign, removes that exposure; the findings file lists the campaigns.
