Eliminate the need to recreate budgets across multiple campaigns by setting up budgeting preferences at the Blueprint level. There are two steps to the process—first set up a budget configuration and then link it to a campaign within a Blueprint.
Step #1: Set up a budget configuration in a Blueprint
Go to Automate (rocket icon) in the left menu.
Select Blueprint Editor.
Choose a Blueprint from the list on the left.
Expand the Settings & Configuration dropdown and navigate to the Budget Config. tab.
Click + Add a Budget Configuration.
Click Search to pull up a list of channels.
Select a channel (Search, Shopping, Display, Facebook, YouTube, or Performance Max) and enter a name in the field.
Click the ➕ button to finish adding the budget configuration.
Input your settings for Pacing Strategy, General Settings, Partner Allocations, and Underspend Mitigation.
Click Save Changes.
Step #2: Apply the budget to a campaign
After you've set up a budget configuration for a Blueprint, then you can link it to a campaign within the Blueprint. Here's how:
Return to Automate (rocket icon) in the left menu.
Select Blueprint Editor.
Choose a Blueprint from the list on the left.
Within the Blueprint, select a campaign.
Expand the Budget & Bidding dropdown.
Click on the field under Linked Budget and select a budget configuration. Note: You will only see the budget configurations that match the campaign type.
Click Save Changes.
Tip: Use tags when naming your budget configuration to align with the naming you might use in your Blueprint campaign name.
