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