Google Ads: GeoTargetConstant service - ability to search worldwide

[integrations bidalgo]

Hello,

In AdWords API we had ability to search geo locations worldwide (without specifying country code).

In GoogleAds country code is required parameter:

$response = $this->geoTargetConstantServiceClient->suggestGeoTargetConstants(
    new StringValue(['value' => 'en']),
    new StringValue(['value' => 'US']),
    ['locationNames' => new LocationNames(['names' => [$names]])]
);

Is there still an opportunity to search worldwide in GoogleAds?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching support. With regards to your concern, the equivalent for getting the geo_location worldwide in Google Ads API is to use geo_target_constant resource. You could search the geo_locations without specifying the country code which will give you location name in all regions worldwide. Let us know if you need additional information.

Hello there,

I have the same problem. I tried to call the "suggestGeoTargetConstants" method without passing the country code but it didn't work. this is the request I passed to the method:

const suggestGeoTargetConstantsRequest = {

            geo_targets: ["geoTargetConstants/9060871"]

        };

and I got this error: "3 INVALID_ARGUMENT: The country code is invalid.

even when I set the request with the country_code like the image below, the return result data is empty!

could you help me, how should I set the request to receive suggestion around the world?

    const suggestGeoTargetConstantsRequest = {

            locale: "au",

            countryCode: "AU",

            geo_targets: [

                "geoTargetConstants/9056922"

            ]

        }
