Google Ads API Group Placement report has 0 conversion data.

[Jessie Labadan]

Hi,

How can I validate if I'm getting zeros (0) conversion data for the 1st to the 28th of July 2020?. For a specific client Facebook with Account ID 7105197886.

Thanks,

Jessie

Hi,

What I'm trying to say is to validate through UI or is it possible to get 0 conversion data while the other metrics (impressions, clicks,..) aren't given the date range above?

Thanks,

Hi Jessie, 

If you want to cross check the results you are getting in the API with the UI, you can navigate to the Reports -> Predefined reports -> Display/Video -> Automatic placements (group). 

When I had a look at this report in your account, I see that there are 0 conversions for the given date range. 

Cheers,

Hi Anthony,

Could you please help us investigate as to why we're seeing '0' conversions at the Group Placement level compare to the Campaign level type? Please see screenshots below.

Group Placement: All '0' conversions
   Where date from :07/01/2020
                    date to: 07/28/2020

Campaign Level (aggregated): 160k conversions

   Where date from :07/01/2020
                    date to: 07/28/2020

Please let me know if you need additional information and if possible to "Reply to author" option.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Jessie

Hi Jessie,

You shouldn't compare reports aggregated at different levels as there can be discrepancies. When looking at the Placements tab (found on the sidebar of your Campaigns screenshot), I see that there are only excluded placements.

Since this behavior doesn't appear to be API specific, I'd recommend reaching out to the product team as they may have insights of why you are receiving 0 conversions.
