How to Find Ads That Don't Show Up After Automated Campaign Creation

Created your campaign and can't find it in Google Ads? Every campaign created by AdsCreator enters Google Ads paused. That's intentional: you review everything before any money is spent.

Since paused campaigns are hidden in the default view, yours may not show on your screen. To find it:

Open the Campaigns tab in your Google Ads account.
Remove the active filters (Google Ads usually keeps the "Enabled" filter applied).
Adjust the date range, in the top right corner, to include today.

With the filters cleared and the right date range, the campaign shows in the list with Paused status. To put it live, change the status to Enabled.

See below the filters that hide the campaign:

Filters cleared and date range including today — the campaign shows with Paused status.

Enabled it — now what?

After activation, the campaign still goes through Google's review before it starts running — taking a few hours is normal. If Google requests an adjustment during this process, you can solve it in minutes: How to fix your Google Ads campaigns (quick guide)

Note: the screenshot shows the interface in Portuguese, and the article linked above is currently in Portuguese as well — English versions are on the way. The Google Ads screens follow the same flow in any language.
