Scheduling ads to run only during specific hours or days when the target audience is most likely to respond.

Short answer
Dayparting is the practice of scheduling ads to run only during specific hours or days when the target audience is most likely to be present and responsive. It helps concentrate budget on high-performing periods, such as business hours for B2B offers or evenings for entertainment, and reduces spend during times that historically convert poorly.
