Update MaxCPC Problem

[Werner Reyneke]

Good day,

I'm using this query below to find a matching keyword to update its MaxCPC:

select segments.date, ad_group.id,ad_group.status,ad_group_criterion.status,campaign.id, ad_group_criterion.criterion_id, ad_group_criterion.keyword.text from keyword_view where segments.date between '2022-06-13' and '2022-07-13'

There are matches on the add campaign platform and it's a live campaign, but the Google Ads API doesn't return Criterion IDs even with that wide date range.

How can I troubleshoot this please?

Regards,
Werner

Hello,

Thanks for providing more information. Please see my observations below:

• I see that an ad group criterion and its ID was returned in you request
• The query in the screenshot is limited to only 1 result
• The query that you provided in your initial email is different from the query in your screenshot
• The question in your most recent email seems different from the question in your initial email

Can you please help clarify the issue so that our team can better investigate?

Thanks,

Good day

Thanks for your reply.

Ok, so basically we have a list of keywords IDs (AdGroupCriterion.CriterionId) for which we need to update the CpcBidMicros values.

The problem is that when I use the GAQL query below, which in theory is supposed to return a bunch of criterion id's that would match at least some of the criterion id's in our list, there are no matching ones returned, which is impossible.

 I am using this GAQL query below:

select segments.date, ad_group.id,ad_group.status,ad_group_criterion.status,campaign.id, ad_group_criterion.criterion_id, ad_group_criterion.keyword.text from keyword_view where segments.date between '2021-06-15' and '2022-07-15'

I hope the explanation is now more clear?

Kind regards,

Werner

Hi Werner,

I’ve tried to use your GAQL and it seems it’s returning correct data. With regards to your statement “There are matches on the add campaign platform and it's a live campaign, but the Google Ads API doesn't return Criterion IDs even with that wide date range.”, could you help us to understand if said platform is different from Google Ads UI? Could you provide more context here how you were able to  list the keywords IDs (AdGroupCriterion.CriterionId) that you are looking to update the CpcBidMicros values?

Good day

The list of keywords we'd like to update are simply a selected set of keywords(criterionid's) manually selected that we would like to update. However these ones don't appear in the GAQL query. What could be the reason that they don't come through in the query?

Kind regards

Werner
