RE: Google Ads GeoTargeting Not Providing Correct IDs
Hello Charles, I don't see the data in that Geo Targets is mapped in such a way. You can map that postal-codes to a state but not to the city. Please ask the same question in the advertiser forum to see if there are any alternatives for this.

Re: Google Ads GeoTargeting Not Providing Correct IDs
Hi, I did get a good suggestion from the advertiser forum in that the geolocation CSV that google publishes (See: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting ), each criteriaID does have an associated parentID so in theory I should be able to map postal codes to the nearest city ID. However postalcodes have as their parentID a state or province, not a city. Is there another way I'm not seeing of how to map a postal code to a city rather than a state? -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.

Re: Google Ads GeoTargeting Not Providing Correct IDs
I'll open a ticket there to figure out what level of detail the ID can be as I was expecting the ID's we submitted is what would be provided.

RE: Google Ads GeoTargeting Not Providing Correct IDs
Hello Charles,
I understand your concern. In the guide it is specifying that the
{loc_physical_ms} will be providing the ID of the geographical location of the
click. So, looks like it is tracking at the least granular level to track the
click and pin point the location. So, we can't expect it to provide only the
locations at the level at which you targeted. Since, the concern is related to
the product level, I recommend you to post your concern on the advertisers
community forum where the product specials will be able to address this from
the product level.
Regards,
Sai Teja, Google Ads API Team

Re: Google Ads GeoTargeting Not Providing Correct IDs
Hi, that's strange. To answer your question, this issue is happening about
90% of the time. This is best shown by example, looking at my server logs I
am seeing ID's for postalcodes even though I am targeting criteriaID's for
cities. Here is an example:
I am targetting in my targetingoptions ID = 1013778 (this is Fairfield,
California, USA) but the ID that we are receiving via {loc_physical_ms}
is 9032003 (this ID is for postal code = 94533 which is within Fairfield,
California, USA).
Basically the problem is we are targeting cities, but google is providing
the ids for postalcodes. I was under the impression that {loc_physical_ms}
would give me the ID's that we provided in location targeting options. Is
this not what the API documentation shows here:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/valuetrack-mapping ?
According to this, the location ID's we provided should be what we receive,
but its not. How do we receive just the criteriaID that we provided and not
a subset that we didn't anticipate?
Thank you
Charles

Hi, I replied privately to this 2 days ago, but I'm not sure where follow
ups go. Is there a mailbox on google groups or does the messages go to my
email?
Thank you.
