Arlington'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 Arlington" and commercial terms like "parking lot paving Arlington" get separate campaigns and landing pages.
