Google Won't Pause Keywords In Paused Campaigns Or Ad Groups
As a reminder, Google Ads has begun pausing low-activity keywords that were created over 13 months ago and have zero impressions over the past 13 months. But that does not mean Google will pause these if they are already part of paused campaigns or ad groups.
PPCGreg asked Google, first stating that he might be overthinking it, but he asked, "With Google auto-pausing keywords with no impressions over the last 13 months, does that include all keywords in campaigns that have been paused for > 13 months?"
Ginny Marvin, Google's Ads Liasion, responded saying, "It will not pause keywords in paused campaigns or ad groups."
