Apple Search Ads Not Getting Impressions? Fix It in This Order

Troubleshoot zero delivery: budget, bids, geo, calibration, and CPT vs daily budget errors.

No impressions usually means auction loss or setup issue

Your ad is not winning auctions, is not eligible, or is structurally blocked. Work through causes in order—don’t just raise bids blindly.

Checklist

  • Campaign and ad group status ENABLED
  • App available in targeted countries
  • Daily budget not exhausted
  • Max CPT not above campaign daily budget (API will throttle)
  • Keyword bid high enough for auction—but still under profit cap
  • New campaigns: allow ~48h calibration window
  • Keyword too narrow with exact match only—test discovery harvest

When raising bids is wrong

If max CPT already exceeds LTV math, impressions are not the problem—economics are. Fix structure and keywords first.
