Schedule and budget in Phoenix
Phoenix runs on Mountain time, so ad schedules and call-only hours follow Mountain business hours. Phoenix's October–April season sets the calendar: Aug–Sep is for building campaigns and raising budgets, Oct–Apr runs full budgets on driveway, parking lot and repair searches, May–Sep drops to low budgets and retargeting. Residential terms like "driveway paving Phoenix" and commercial terms like "parking lot paving Phoenix" get separate campaigns and landing pages.
