How to detected trademark violations via the ad performance report?

[markus...@s24.com]

Hi,

prior to v201705 we used the column "AdGroupAdTrademarkDisapproved" of the ad performance report to record our trademark violations.

Since v201705 I find no replacement for that. 

Is "PolicySummary" maybe suitable for that? 

If so: How can the complex type "AdGroupAdPolicySummary" be downloaded via a CSV report? 

In our test account I always receive no values for that column, maybe the status is always "under review".

BTW "PolicySummary" currently is returned as column "Ad policies" (Display Name) in the CSV ad performance report, 

but the report documentation (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report?hl=de) says it should be "Policy".

Regards,

Markus

Hi Markus, 

You can use the PolicySummary column to get the reason for the disapproved Ad. The CombinedApprovalStatus can be used to get the approval status. The PolicySummary will contain any review findings specific to that Ad. It will be blank for Ads which are under review since the review is yet to happen. 

Thanks for bringing up the discrepancy in the documentation of PolicySummary. Our team is aware of this issue and is currently looking into getting the docs updated. 

Thanks,
