How to Pause or Enable a Campaign – Select

Adjust the Status of your Campaigns individually or in bulk.

Each Campaign has an associated Campaign Status: Enabled, Paused, Paused - Billing, or Canceled. You can use the Campaigns Manager to adjust the Status of a Campaign, or adjust multiple Campaigns at once using Bulk Edit.

Enabled

This Campaign is currently being advertised to generate Leads.

Paused

This Campaign has all advertising temporarily Paused in order to stop generating Leads. With Paused Select Campaigns the Local Tracking numbers are hidden from New Potential Customers. Leads received while a Campaign is Paused are automatically marked as Non-Billable and you won't be charged.

Paused – Billing

This Campaign has been Paused by Service Direct due to an Unpaid Balance. Once this balance is paid, your Campaign will be Enabled automatically.

Canceled

This Campaign was once generating Leads but has been removed from your Account. This typically occurs due to a change in Service Area or Service Category.
