Start by checking if anything changed recently, like the landing page, the offer, or the ad copy. Then look at your search terms report to see if irrelevant traffic started coming in. Check your conversion tracking to make sure it is still firing correctly, because sometimes a website update breaks the tag. Also look at your Quality Score and whether your ads are still showing for the right keywords. A sudden drop usually has one clear cause once you dig in. What is the first thing you usually check when a campaign goes quiet?

The first thing to check is usually the basics whether ads are still being delivered and if tracking is working properly. Sometimes a campaign looks quiet just because conversions stopped recording or the budget ran out without noticing. After that, it's important to confirm impressions and clicks are still coming in, because that quickly shows if it's a delivery issue or a tracking issue. Most problems turn out to be something simple like this rather than anything complicated.
The first thing to check is whether the tracking is working properly. Sometimes conversions appear to stop when the tracking code, pixel, or analytics setup has a problem. If tracking is broken, sales or leads may still be happening but not showing up in the reports. Before changing ads or budgets, it makes sense to confirm that the data being collected is accurate.

Looking at the campaign metrics can reveal a lot. If clicks, impressions, and traffic have dropped sharply, the issue may be with the ads themselves, audience targeting, or budget settings. If traffic is still coming in at normal levels but conversions have disappeared, the problem is more likely happening after visitors reach the website.
For me, the first thing I would check is the traffic and tracking setup. Sometimes campaigns stop converting because the tracking pixel or conversion tag is broken or not firing correctly. I would also check if there were any sudden changes in traffic source or targeting. If clicks are still coming but no conversions, then something may be wrong on the landing page or tracking side.
