Reports and Setting Negative Placements at the Account Level

[Mike5577]

Hi, the Shared Set and Account reports do not have account level negative placements available, unless I am missing something. Any suggestions on getting this report, as well as adding account level negative placements? We are using the Smart Display placements, and account level placement exclusions is the only way to block some traffic.

Hi,

Currently, the only report available in AdWords API for negative placements is the Campaign Negative Placements Performance Report. The AdWords API has no account level reporting for negative placement. Also, you may take note that negative placements do not hold statistics. However, you can use this structured report to efficiently retrieve attributes of placement-based NegativeCampaignCriterion objects.

With regards to creating account level negative placement, you may check to this guide for your reference which also includes sample codes.

For reporting on shared sets, you can see on this link the available report types supported for shared sets.

Let me know if you have further clarifications.

Thanks and regards,

Luis
