Schedule and budget in Minneapolis
Minneapolis runs on Central time, so ad schedules and call-only hours follow Central business hours. Minneapolis'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 Minneapolis" and commercial terms like "parking lot paving Minneapolis" get separate campaigns and landing pages.
