The "Status" column shows information about the current state of each campaign in your account at the time you sign in to your Google Ads account. From this page, you can see the status of every campaign you've ever created and detect unexpected problems with your campaigns.

You can see both the status of a campaign itself, and the status of its bid strategy. If your campaign's bid strategy has any issues that could be affecting performance, we'll surface them in the "Status" column.

This article explains each campaign status, what it means, and steps you can take to fix any issues.
