Adjust your campaign settings to help you tailor your campaign. The campaign settings you select will apply to all ads within the same campaign. The type of campaign you choose determines which settings are available to you.
What each campaign setting means
| Setting | Description | References |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign name | This is where you enter a name for your campaign. Although Google Ads enters a default campaign name for you, you should choose a name that clearly describes the theme of the campaign so that you can easily find it in your account. Your campaign name isn't visible to your customers. | |
| Campaign type |
The campaign type you choose tailors the campaign setup to what's appropriate for your goals. You can also choose one or more advertising goals. As you continue to use Google Ads, you’ll see relevant suggestions based on the goals you select. |

| Networks |
The Networks setting indicates where you want your ad to appear based upon the campaign type you chose. For example, with the Google Search Network, your ad can appear on Google search sites and non-Google search sites (like CNN) that partner with Google to show search ads, called search partners. With the Google Display Network, your ad shows on other sites that partner with Google to show ads. |

| Devices | Campaigns target all types of devices, which include desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Later, you can choose to customize ads for different devices. | Learn about types of mobile ads |
| Locations and languages | Your campaign’s ads are eligible to show to customers in your targeted geographic locations, or to customers who have selected your targeted language as their browser’s language setting. We recommend choosing the language you serve your customers in. | Learn about location and language targeting |
| Bidding and budget |
Choose to manually set your bids for clicks on your ads or let Google Ads do it for you. Depending on your campaign type, you may see additional bidding options to choose from. Your bid strategy controls how you pay for users to interact with your ads. Your bid limit is the most you’ll pay per click for ads in an ad group. Your budget is the average amount you’re comfortable spending each day on your campaign. The budget you choose is entirely up to you, and you can adjust it at any time. |
