Hi Ernie, I went to the Google Ads web interface to the Audience tab to check if I need to turn some kind of targeting for getting Age reports for my Local Ads. I found out that none of my Local campaigns are showing up in the edit demographics tab. Does this mean that Google Ads doesn't support targeting gender/age in Local Ads? Is there anyway to turn on at least reporting feature for these split ups in the interface for Local Ads. If this kind of *Local Ads* Gender/Age reporting is currently not available in Google Ads could you let me know if and when this feature will be added as this information is paramount for our internal analysis. Thanks for your help and have great day!
