update automatic placements bids

[Igor V]

Hello,

I have tried to find answer on previous posts but no lucky.

My question is in subject, how update automatic placements bids since criterionID for them is --?

I have using googleads php lib v201409.

Thanks,

Igor

Hi Igor,

In order to bid on a placement, you have to explicitly add it to your ad group, which converts it to a managed placement.

To add a placement to your ad group, issue an AdGroupCriterionService.mutate request with an ADD operation where the operand is a BiddableAdGroupCriterion with:

• adGroupId set
• criterion = a Placement with url set to the URL you want to target (no need to specify an ID here)
• either:
• biddingStrategyConfiguration = a BiddingStrategyConfiguration containing your bids OR
• bidModifier = your bid modifier
