Re: Question regarding US geo-targets

[Stephen Howe]

Hi Mitchell, 

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am still a bit unclear about the 
implications of this.

If I pull a report by RegionCriteriaId, I am returned both Silicon Valley 
and San Francisco Bay Area *as well as *California. All of these locations 
have 'Region' status. Does the row for California *include *performance 
from one or both of the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay Area regions? 
In other words, if I want to see the performance of the United States by 
state, should I 
a) remove the rows with Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay Area or 
b) add those rows to the California total?
Which option will avoid double counting and align with the total United 
States performance?


Regarding campaign targeting, your answer suggests that a campaign 
targeting California will, by inclusion, target Silicon Valley. However, 
any campaign currently targeting California will not be targeting the San 
Francisco Bay Area region. Is that correct? Would you call this a bug?

Question regarding US geo-targets

[Stephen Howe]

Hi,

When pulling from the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT by Region with constraints:
  IsTargetingLocation IN [true, false]
  AND LocationType = LOCATION_OF_PRESENCE
  AND CountryCriteriaId = 2840

I notice that two regions show up with longer RegionCriteriaIds than the 
other US states. They are:
9073452 - Silicon Valley
9073451 - San Francisco Bay Area

All the other Regions are US states with 5 character RegionCriteriaIds.

This is slightly odd, but consistent with the geo-targets .csv file. My 
concern is that both these Regions have the United States as their Parent 
location (2840), not the state of California (21137).

*Questions:*
Does this mean that performance for Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay 
Area are not included if I pull a report WHERE RegionCriteriaId = 21137?

Furthermore, does this extend to targeting? If I set a campaign to target 
only the state of California in Google Ads, will the campaign not target 
the two separate regions: Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay Area?

Low data using "Most Specific Location" even with "IsTargetingLocation IN [true, false]"

[Stephen Howe]

Hi all,

I am trying to report on users by county in the UK through the AdWords API, 
using the following AWQL query: 

SELECT 
  Date, 
  MostSpecificCriteriaId, 
  CountryCriteriaId, 
  Impressions, 
  Clicks, 
  Cost, 
  Conversions, 
  ConversionValue
FROM 
  GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
WHERE
  IsTargetingLocation IN [true, false]
  AND LocationType = LOCATION_OF_PRESENCE
  AND MostSpecificCriteriaId IN 
[1007200,1007406,1007432,1007144,9041106,9041110,9041129,9041125,1007131,9041124,904,9041115,1007331,9041128,9041117,1007165,9041112,9041100,9041113,9041126,9041122,9041119,9041085,9041121,9041096,9041093,9041087,1006676,9041107,9041088,9041095,9041103,9041127,9041090,9041108,9041123,9041098,9041118,9041094,9041102,9041089,9041097,9041116,9041120,9041092,9041091,9041104,1007172,9041101,9041086,9041114,9041084,9041099,9041105,9041109]
DURING 20181217,20190617


The list of MostSpecificCriteriaId in the WHERE condition are all the 
criteria IDs of the UK counties, according to the geotargets section of the 
API.

These locations aren't targeted by my campaigns, so I added the condition 

WHERE IsTargetingLocation IN [true, false]

hoping that I could get performance data for these locations.

I also enforced LOCATION_OF_PRESENCE in order to only report on people who 
are really in these locations.

However, the traffic data I receive is extremely low when compared to the 
total UK traffic. The resulting report only contains 1% of the clicks and 
conversions throughout the whole country during this time period. Why is 
this the case?

Bid Goal Performance Report TargetROAS not historically accurate

[Stephen Howe]

Hi,

I am attempting to analyze the performance of a target ROAS bid strategy 
over time. The target ROAS value was changed several times over the last 
few months, and I can see this in the Ads interface in the bid strategies 
report (Tools > Bid strategies > my bid strategy).

However, when I query the BID_GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 
,
 
with Date as a segment, the 'Target ROAS 
'
 
column only shows the *current* target ROAS value across all dates. This 
behavior is not documented, as far as I can see, so I found it quite 
misleading.

My question is, is there any way to pull historical target ROAS values for 
a bid strategy through the AdWords API? As far as I know, these entities 
are not included in the change history, please correct me if I'm wrong.

If not, will this be possible using the new Ads API?

Thanks
Stephen

Same for me. Most of my requests are working but I am intermittently

Re: Get report product goup all field using google adwords api

[Stephen Howe]

Hi Peter,

Is there any update on this? These columns are available in the equivalent 
AdWords interface report for product groups, it seems odd that they aren't 
available in the API. They would help a lot in my current project.

Thanks
Stephen
