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