Google Ads location_view return fields are coming back blank.

[Matthew Muhlenkort]

I have been using this query for several weeks and now I'm not getting any data for the object campaign_criterion.proximity.address

We have been using zip code targeting and just recently added some new campaigns that use geo_point. Both the zipcode and geo_point was appearing in the return but now only the geo_point data comes back.

The returned rows still show the criterion ID's and if I pull the data from Google Ads Directly I can match the ID's up to a zip code.

SELECT

          customer.manager,

          customer.id,

          campaign.id,

          campaign_criterion.criterion_id,

          customer.test_account,

          customer.status,

          campaign.name,

          campaign.status,

          campaign_criterion.type,

          customer.resource_name,

          campaign_criterion.campaign,

          campaign.campaign_budget,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.radius_units,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.radius,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.geo_point.longitude_in_micro_degrees,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.geo_point.latitude_in_micro_degrees,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.address.street_address,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.address.province_name,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.address.province_code,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.address.country_code,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.address.postal_code,

          campaign_criterion.proximity.address.city_name,

          metrics.cost_micros

        FROM location_view

        WHERE segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS

  AND campaign.status = 'ENABLED'

Any assistance would be really helpful.

Hi,

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

Based on the information provided, it appears that the campaign_criterion.proximity.address object cannot be retrieved using the location_view resource in the Google Ads API. Before comparing values between the Google Ads UI and API, please ensure the following:

• The same segments and fields are used in both the UI and API.
• The same date range is applied.
• The comparison is made at the same reporting level wherever possible.

Additionally, we noticed that you haven't shared the customer ID of your Google Ads account, which is necessary for us to investigate further.

The corresponding UI screen for the location_view resource in the API can be found by navigating to your Google Ads account > Campaigns tab > Audiences, keywords and content > Locations. Could you confirm whether you’re able to see the targeted locations under this section in the UI? If yes, I would request you to share an uncropped UI screenshot of this section with the customer ID clearly visible, and highlight the fields and metrics that you wish to retrieve using the API.

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

Thanks,
 

Google Ads API Team
