Issue with Impression Data in Performance Max Campaign Placements in v18

[Jing CHEN]

There is an issue with the data volume of impressions for placements in the performance max campaign returned by version 18. The impression quantity for each placement is the same, which appears to be a bug.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

According to the release notes, the performance_max_placement_view report only provides impressions for placements where Performance Max ads were served. If you are seeing the same impressions value for each placement, provide us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end and uncropped UI screenshot by highlighting the fields that you are trying to retrieve using Google Ads API.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Hi,

Please be informed that I have removed your response from the forums as it contains the PII information.

I understand that you are getting the metrics.impressions value identical (40010) for all the placements using the performance_max_placement_view report using the Google Ads API. We have tried and we were also getting the same values from the API. Can you confirm if you are seeing different metrics.impressions values from the Google Ads UI? If yes, I would request you to share the uncropped UI screenshot of the Google Ads account (with visible customer ID) by highlighting the fields and metrics for which you want to retrieve using the Google Ads API.

Thanks & Regards,
