Performance_Max campaigns missing in geographic_view

[Ninad Bhangui]

Hello,
When using google ads API for geographic_view, We have noticed that Performance_Max campaigns are missing from the response.

We are not sure if this is an issue or if it is intended. Could not find any documentation which suggested the same.

Can you let me know if this is an issue or if it's intended?
If it is an issue is there an ETA for this?

Hello Ninad,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API forum. Could you please confirm if you are looking for Performance Max campaigns reporting via API?
If yes then you can use GoogleAdsService.SearchStream to retrieve attributes and performance metrics for Performance Max campaigns reporting FROM campaign resource. Performance Max is a campaign type that provides a unified buying service to all Google Ads inventory. Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,,

Hello Ninad,

Thank you for following up. If your Performance Max campaign isn’t performing as expected, it may be due to specific problems with your ads, bidding, targeting, conversion tracking, or campaign settings. This article will help you troubleshoot your campaign in the following scenarios:

• Campaign isn't live
• Automation is evaluating data
• Asset groups are under review (policy issues)
• Restrictive location targeting
• Budget too low
• Improving lead quality
• Merchant Center feed

So in your case that's why Performance Max campaigns are not allowed to retrieve data FROM geographic_view resource. Please note Performance Max will show as a campaign type selection if your advertising objective is “Sales”, “Leads”, or “Local store visits and promotions”. I hope this helps, feel free to reply back if you have any questions.

Best regards,
