Dayparting for Bol: Advertise when people are buying, not when you are awake

Nov 26, 2025

Dayparting for Bol Ads explained in layman's terms: advertise only during hours when people actually make purchases and stop paying for useless clicks. In this blog, you'll discover why 24/7 campaigns inflate your ACOS, how to identify the right hours, and how smart automation precisely allocates your budget where it yields returns.


Many Bol advertisers are still running their campaigns 24/7.

Automatically. Without thinking.

And most importantly: without considering when people actually want to buy something.

Enter: Dayparting for Bol.


What is Dayparting (for Bol)?

Dayparting is nothing more than:
turning your Bol Ads on and off by the hour — based on real performance.

So:

  • is your target audience underperforming in the evenings? → off

  • do they mainly buy around lunch? → advertise more intensely

  • are the nights just a click wasteland? → turn off

Then, you only pay for clicks at times when people
actually intend to buy something.

It's simple, yet extremely effective.
Especially on Bol, where purchasing intent can vary greatly by the hour.

“But don't you only pay when someone clicks?”

Correct.
But let's finish the thought:

👉 you only pay for clicks
👉 but if no one buys, you're still paying for nothing

During bad hours:

  • click intent is low

  • people barely buy

  • CPCs are often higher

  • your ACOS rises without you noticing

So yes, you pay per click.
But you also pay per wrong click.

Dayparting ensures you simply don't receive those clicks anymore.


Why Dayparting works well for Bol

On Bol, you see much clearer hourly patterns than on, for example, Google or Meta.
Because people really do “shop for a moment.”
And that happens at fixed times.

  • Mornings = browsing

  • Afternoon = comparing

  • Evening = buying

  • Night = wasted spending

By reading those hours correctly, you can literally halve your ACOS.
Without extra budget.
Just by turning off the stupid hours.


The Two Phases of Dayparting for Bol

Phase 1 — On/off by hour

You turn off your campaigns at all the hours where the data says:
“no one buys here.”

For example:

  • 07:00–09:00 → low intent

  • 23:00–02:00 → many clicks, few sales

  • 03:00–07:00 → just off, always

This often removes already 15–30% waste from your account.

Phase 2 — Adjust bids per hour

This is where you really gain ground.

  • Hours that convert well → bids up

  • Hours with low intent → down

  • Hours with expensive clicks and low ROI → off

This feeds your budget into the right hours,
and prevents it from leaking into hours with poor performance.


How do you analyze the right hours? (most make mistakes here)

Dayparting only works if you take data seriously.

This is how it works:

1. Collect at least 14 days of data

Not one day, not three days.
You want to see patterns.

2. Analyze by the hour

Look at:

  • clicks

  • sales

  • ACOS

  • CPCs

  • total spending

  • cost per sale

Only clicks? Incomplete.
Only ACOS? Misleading.
Everything together? Pattern.

3. Turn off dead hours

Hours with:

  • many clicks

  • no sales

  • the same pattern repeating

off
Unforgivingly.

4. Dominate peak hours

Hours where you print margin?
bids up
more visibility
more sales


This is how we automate Dayparting for Bol

No one is going to optimize manually 24/7.
That's craziness.

That's why we automate it:

  1. we analyze every hour

  2. recognize patterns

  3. turn off bad hours

  4. increase bids during strong hours

  5. link everything to your ACOS target

  6. adapt every 7–14 days with new data

Your campaigns get smarter,
while you don't have to worry at all.


What Dayparting brings you (especially on Bol)

  • Lower ACOS

  • Higher profit

  • Less waste

  • More stable performance

  • Scalability without stress

In many Bol accounts, dayparting is the difference between:

❌ ACOS 35%
and
✅ ACOS 20–25%

Without more budget.
Just better timing.


Bottom line

Stop advertising 24/7 on Bol.
No one buys 24/7.
So why should you pay 24/7?

Dayparting makes your ads smarter, more profitable, and less hectic.
And combined with automation, it works without hassle.
