Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

Marketing Objective is selecting the single goal that would make your campaign successful to you. When you select a goal while creating a campaign on Ads UI, you’ll see suggested campaign settings aimed to help you obtain that goal.

However, from the Google Ads API perspective, you may check this guide regarding campaign goals. Allow me to reach out to my rest of the team with regards to setting marketing Objective as shown on Ads UI. We will respond to you as soon as possible.

Hi,

I am particularly looking for assigning a value to  " Marketing Objective" field alone via API.

This Guide that you have shared is  assigning values to Goals field (This is not my requirement).

Hello - 

After doing some research, it's likely that this field isn't mapped in the API because it's only used to help guide users through the create a campaign flow in the UI.

Is there something specific you're hoping to use the information for? Perhaps I can help identify a different field in the API that would be useful.

Thanks,
Ben, Google Ads API Team

Hi

> However, from the Google Ads API perspective, you may check this guide regarding campaign goals.

Is this setting a "campaign goal" rather than a "campaign objective"?
My ad will not be delivered unless I specify "Brand awareness and reach" in "Campaign objective".
(Impressions will be zero or single digit)

So I need to specify the "Campaign objective" on the API side as soon as possible.

Or do you have an alternative solution?

thanks

Hello - 

Do you have an example of a Campaign that won't run without this setting? Just the Customer ID and Campaign ID will suffice.

You should be able to traffic a campaign with minimal configuration, so I wonder if there's another reason why such a Campaign won't get trafficked.

Thanks,

Hi Jin,

As I mentioned before, that flow is only present in the UI in order to help guide users through the process of creating a campaign. There's no way to set those goals in the API, however you can traffic Ads created via the API without it.

Hi,

It would be great if this filed gets mapped on the API because in my case I would like to create the campaign automatically through the API and this field is the only part that has to be done manually. 

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

For now, I am afraid I won’t be able to provide further details as it is still unavailable in the API. The setting for Marketing Objective can only be done manually through the UI. However if it helps, you may check the guide below regarding campaign goals.

Hey, I read the manually. But it still can't give me the how marketing objective affect the campaigns fields. So Its kind of wierd that I will have to define it manully for each campaign I'm going to create instead of doing the same changes that it does through the API

Hello,



Thank you for getting back to us.

In the following documentation(https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/overview#campaign_types) it is stated that “You can use the API to create and manage campaigns optimized for different marketing objectives”. Can you please confirm if this documentation helps you when you say “how marketing objective affect the campaigns fields”? 

You may also refer to this article for more information about campaign objectives(https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7450050?hl=en).
