I'm running a script to get notifications whenever a sitelink is driving to a 404 page. I'm getting alerts for mobile sitelinks that are not available (or listed) in the Google Ads interface. 
You can't find them in the new Google Ads interface, but you can only see them when you download a report. 

Are Mobile Sitelinks still available? Are they available through the API? Or should I edit the code to stop receiving notifications? 

Please, let me know. Thanks!

Hello,

Are you referring to setting the mobile device preference via the API? If so, you can use the FeedItemTargetService and set the FeedItemCriterionTarget with criterion as Platform for setting the mobile device preference. You may refer to the code sample in Java on how to use this service. Code samples in other languages can be found here. For more information, please refer to this Help Center article. If your question was different, could you please elaborate?

Thanks,
Milind, AdWords API Team

No, I'm referring to where in the Google Ads interface (besides reports) can I see Mobile Sitelinks.
If I'm getting a notification through a script that there is a mobile sitelink that leads to a 404 page, where, in the Google Ads interface, I can remove it or disable that mobile sitelink

Hello,

Could you please share the document which you are referring to? Also, if you are already setting the 'Mobile Sitelinks' in the UI, then please share the UI screenshot. If you are not seeing 'Mobile Sitelinks' in the UI, then I would suggest to post your questions to AdWords Community forum. They are better equipped to address product level questions.

You can use 'Reply privately to author' option while responding. 


Thanks,

Oh god, you guys are pretty useless. 

Mobile Sitelinks ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE GOOGLE ADS INTERFACE, but you can see them when downloading a report.

They use to be available on the old Google Ads interface, but THERE IS NO WAY FOR YOU TO SEE THEM OR EDIT THEM IN THE NEW GOOGLE ADS INTERFACE. You can't create new ones, buy the old ones are still triggering alerts. 

The questions are: 

1. Can Mobile Sitelinks can be created or edit on the new Google Ads interface?
2. Can Mobile Sitelinks be removed from a Google Ads account?
3. Are Mobile Sitelinks still supported?

Hi Esperanza,

My apologies for the delayed response. I am a colleague of Millind, allow me to provide support for your concerns.

Thank you for further elaborating your concerns. Mobile sitelinks can still be created in the Google Ads UI. You may refer to this guide under "Device preference" on how to do so. You can also remove or turn off the ad extensions on your account. Here’s an article on how to remove extensions.

For quick reference, you may also follow the steps below on how to remove your sitelinks.
  1. Go to Ads & Extensions page on the left menu bar.
  2. Click on Extensions tab at the top of the page.
  3. Tick the checkbox of the extensions you want to remove and click the "Remove" button in the blue flag that appears on the top.
Just to add, I do not see a filter or parameter in the report you've shown that can indicate that the sitelink is for mobile. However, it still returned that specific sitelink in the reports.

Let me know if this answers your concern.

Regards,
Dannison
