After creating Ad Groups, what is the next step in campaign setup?

• A. Create Ads
• B. Review Ad Groups
• C. Select Campaign Settings
• D. Pause Ad Groups

Answer: (D)

Controlling when things go live is the key idea here. After you’ve created your Ad Groups, pausing them keeps the campaign from starting to run while you finish the rest of the setup. This acts as a safety net so you don’t spend money on incomplete or unreviewed elements. By pausing, you preserve the current structure, then you complete writing and reviewing the ads, finalize keywords and targeting, and confirm budgets and bidding. When everything is ready, you can activate the Ad Groups and launch the campaign.
