Changes like this show up in cost per qualified lead before they show up in the interface. Audit the affected campaigns this week: search terms, conversion actions tied to real PII capture, ad relevance, and landing page speed. Then decide whether spend can scale rather than assuming it can. We do exactly that work for clients as part of our paid media management.
