How do I add gender bid modifiers

[fol...@brainlabsdigital.com]

Hi,

The AdGroupBidModifierService (v201605) explicitly states "Currently supports platform (mobile) bid multiplier overrides only"

I am trying to set all the PreferredContent (GENDER) bids to zero for all adgroups in an entire account, via api. 

I have tried using the service above, but as expected, it failed with an error OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CAMPAIGN_TYPE ..... Trigger: 'SEARCH'.

Is there a way to automatically set the bid multiplier for gender? 

I understand this feature is quite new, maybe there is something in the docs that I missed?

Hi Foluso,

Unfortunately, bid modifiers are only available for Platform criterion, so you will not be able to add bid modifiers for Gender. You can refer to this guide for more information. 

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. 

In that case I will have to do it from the adwords interface manually. 

However, there is still a problem with setting them from the interface... The situation is as follows.

Trying to set the Gender Bid Modifier to 0% for all rows (online interface) in an account (all adgroups), the operation fails with message "Your change was not applicable to any of the selected rows".

This error only occurs while operating on all adgroups ().

When performing the exact same operation on 500 rows (max page size), it works completely fine. 

Is there a potential fix to this problem?

Thanks!

Hello Foluso,

This appears to be an AdWords UI issue. You could post your concerns in the AdWords community forum for UI related cases.
