Hey Greg, I get the thought, however this impacts Search advert teams that haven’t obtained impressions for over a 12 months. We do not count on pausing advert teams which have been idle for at the very least 13 months to have a noticeable affect on Search marketing campaign visitors or that it’ll change the combination…
