Fix Location Targeting Too Broad

Fix path for location targeting too broad in AdsDoneEasy — product layers first, not inventing auto-bid.

Before rewriting campaigns for location targeting too broad, confirm publish still shows PAUSED-by-design.

  • Checklist for location targeting too broad: (1) OAuth scopes and correct customer ID, (2) Starter/Growth/Enterprise campaign or sync limits, (3) whether empty sync is a credit or tracking issue, (4) MCP PAT vs OAuth mismatch if using hosted MCP.
  • Fix the AdsDoneEasy path; do not invent auto-bid or live Meta workarounds.
  • Re-test after one change; avoid stacking MCP, OAuth, and bid edits.
  • Publish stays PAUSED; AdsDoneEasy does not auto-bid; Google bills media spend.
