Schedule and budget in Cambridge
Cambridge runs on Eastern time, so ad schedules and call-only hours follow Eastern business hours. Cambridge's April–November season sets the calendar: Feb–Mar is for building campaigns and raising budgets, Apr–Nov runs full budgets on driveway, parking lot and repair searches, Dec–Mar drops to low budgets and retargeting. Residential terms like "driveway paving Cambridge" and commercial terms like "parking lot paving Cambridge" get separate campaigns and landing pages.
