Age and Gender Setting in Campaign / AdGroup

[Powell Chu]

Hi,

I have read from previous posts that you can only exclude age group(s) and/or gender(s) from a campaign / ad group. I was able to do so. However, is there a way to remove the exclusion of an existing campaign / adgroup, or do I have to delete the campaign / ad group and create a new one if I want to change the age / gender?

Also, is there a way to check which age range group are enabled / excluded in a campaign / ad group using GAQL? Currently I have tried the following:

SELECT 

                ad_group_criterion.age_range.type,

                campaign.name,

                campaign.id,

                campaign.status,

                ad_group.name,

                ad_group.id,

                ad_group.status,

                ad_group_criterion.system_serving_status,

                ad_group_criterion.bid_modifier

FROM age_range_view

WHERE ad_group.id = {adGroupId}

But this only illustrates the metrics within a particular age group, but not whether the age group is included / excluded in the campaign / ad group?

Hi Powell,

Thank you for reaching out. There is no need to recreate the campaign/ad group. You could simply utilize the AdGroupCriterionService.MutateAdGroupCriteria() and perform the remove operation to remove that criterion from the entity. To check what age group or gender group have been excluded, you could query the ad_group_criterion.age_range.type and Ad_group_criterion.gender.type from the ad_group_criterion resource.
