Target location on ads customizer feed

[Vlad Zloteanu]

Hello,

Building an ads modifier feed by API (new Google ads API, not adwords).

Would like to push items containing the special "Target location" field (so to restrict the display geographically).

How do I create this feed? (field attribute + placeholder mapping). How do I push the feed item value? (on what feed_attribute_id?)

Tried creating a STRING field attribute named "Target location", then setting its placeholder type to STRING. 

But, when I try to upload items, the target location arrives on a custom text field (so the column is on double)

Thanks,

Vlad

Here's an example of the feed with the double column:

customers/[redacted]/feeds/295686218

Hi Vlad,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

Could you confirm if this is indeed the feature your are trying to implement? If yes, it would not be possible to specify a target location in the feed to restrict the feeds geographically.

Location targeting is implemented at the criteria level which you can find out more via this guide.

Best regards,

Hey Peter,

Thank you for you response.

Yes, this is the ad customiser feature I’m trying to implement.

Yes, apparently you can add a geo targeting / filtering column. Please find a screen capture with all the targeting columns you can add to an ad customiser feed (Google Ads interface):

Here’s Google documentation, speaking about exactly the same columns: 

https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6093368#targetingattributes&zippy=%2Ctargeting-attributes

I’m able to do it manually, by uploading a CSV with those columns. 

I am not able to do it by API - I’m not able to mark a column as a special targeting column. Tried using same column name, does not work.

WDYT?

Thanks,

Vlad

Hi Vlad,

Thank you for sharing additional details.

Upon further checking, when creating the feed items for your ad customizer feed, you should be able to specify a feed_item_target using a geo_target_constant. For more information on feed item targeting, you may refer here.

Let me know how this goes on your end.
