Re: Shapefiles/geoJSON for location targets

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for reaching out. I got conformation from my team internally that the 
there isn't a way to directly do that in our API, but most people use another 
Google API to do this. you can use the Geocoding API 
(https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/). If you get the 
Canonical Name of a criterion from our API, you can put it into the Geocoding 
API and get back the coordinates of the center and the box that it is in.

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately it does not support providing the exact 
zipcodes the targeted location includes via API. We have created a feature 
request on behalf for this so I would recommend keeping an eye on our Developer 
Blog for information on future releases.

Re: Shapefiles/geoJSON for location targets

['Daniel Bunting' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi Nirmita,

Unfortunately no that doesn't answer my question. What I want is to know 
exactly what the boundaries of the targeting regions are. For example for 
if I target the London region this might cover the postcodes W1, W2, N1, 
. etc.
I need to be able to compare the Google ads geotargeting regions with other 
systems that may define region boundaries differently.

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi Denial,

Thanks for reaching out. Thank you for reaching out. You could target campaigns 
for proximity to a location. Please let me know if this is what you are looking 
for. If not, can you please provide screenshot of the UI so that i can further 
investigate the issue and please reply privately to author options while 
sharing the details.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Re: Shapefiles/geoJSON for location targets

['Daniel Bunting' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi, 

I have the same question and unfortunately I don't think Vincent's reply 
above actually answers it.  I'm looking to get the definitions of the 
targeting regions, either in terms of map outlines geoJSON/shapefiles or in 
terms of postcodes.

The use case is is being able to link ad targeting regions to order data, 
which we hold at a postcode level.

Thanks,

Daniel

Re: Shapefiles/geoJSON for location targets

['Vincent Racaza (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for confirming. The blue outline that you can see in the AdWords UI 
when targeting a location is the whole location itself, for example, the 
whole Birmingham City. When targeting this in the API, there are no geo 
points for this as you are targeting a specific city. You just need to set 
the location/geo targeting ID as you can see in this section 
.
 
For example, for Birmingham City, the geo targeting ID is 1006524 as you 
can see in the geo targets table 
.

Thanks,
Vincent

Re: Shapefiles/geoJSON for location targets

[drmatsavage]

Hi Vincent

Many thanks for the reply,

What I am looking for is the base data which you use to define a region. 
For example, if I were to target a specific city eg. Birmingham, in the Ads 
interface you will show me a blue outline of where you define Birmingham to 
be. What I am looking for is the geoPoints for each corner of this 
definition of Birmingham according to Google.

I hope this clarifies,

Mathew

Re: Shapefiles/geoJSON for location targets

['Vincent Racaza (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi Mat,

Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect. Could you confirm if 
you are looking for a list of geo targets that you can use in your location 
targeting? If so, then you can refer to this guide 
 for 
the complete list of geo targets. You can also refer to this guide 
 on 
how to target and exclude locations in the API. In regards to choosing a 
location target on which an area is shown with geographical points that 
enclose that area, perhaps you are referring to proximity targeting 

 as 
the Proximity 

 object 
uses a geoPoint 

, radiusDistanceUnits 
,
 
etc.

For the reports regarding locations, you may refer to the Geo Performance 
Report 
 and Campaign Location Target Report 

.

Let me know if you have further clarifications on the guides that I 
provided. Or, if my understanding to your queries are incorrect, kindly 
provide a UI screenshot so I can further check.

Thanks,
Vincent
