medium

A. The keywords are too broad and not specific enough

B. The campaign budget is unlimited

C. The ads are shown only on social media

D. The keywords are misspelled

   Unlimited budget would increase clicks, ads on social media are unrelated to search campaigns, and no misspelling was mentioned.

3. Final Answer:

   The keywords are too broad and not specific enough -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Broad keywords = low clicks due to competition [OK]

   Missing budget usually stops campaign start, but negative keywords blocking is a common subtle error; too many keywords or uppercase text do not stop ads from showing.

3. Final Answer:

   You used negative keywords incorrectly blocking all searches -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Negative keywords blocking = no ads shown [OK]

Hint: Check negative keywords if ads never appear [OK]

• Assuming uppercase text stops ads
• Thinking too many keywords block ads
