Query Regarding Location Groups in Google Ads

[Rajat Singh]

Hello Team,

I have a few queries regarding Location Groups in Google Ads:

1. Is there any support for creating a Location Group? If yes, could you please provide reference documentation or sample code?
2. How can we link an existing Location Group with a specific campaign/ad group/account
3. How can we retrieve a list of existing Location Groups?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team. 

1. Is there any support for creating a Location Group? If yes, could you please provide reference documentation or sample code?

• Yes, it is possible for creating location groups using the Google Ads API. 
• You need to create a location sync asset set and attach it to the customer by following this documentation.
• Once these steps are completed, the Google Ads API automatically generates location assets and adds them to the created location sync asset set, just as it would if you added them manually using the AssetSetAssetService. You don't need to manage these assets yourself unless you intend to manually add them to a static location group asset set.
• You can create a location group asset set by following this guide. 

2. How can we link an existing Location Group with a specific campaign/ad group/account

• You can use CustomerAssetSetService.MutateCustomerAssetSets to attach the location sync asset set to your account.
• You can use CampaignAssetSetService.MutateCampaignAssetSets to attach the location group asset set to your campaign.
• Alternatively, you can utilize AdGroupAssetSetService.MutateAdGroupAssetSets if you want to attach the location group asset set to an ad group instead.

3. How can we retrieve a list of existing Location Groups?

• I would recommend you to use the asset_set_asset report to fetch the existing location groups present in your account. You can use the following GAQL query as per your requirement:

• SELECT asset_set.location_group_parent_asset_set_id, 
  asset_set.business_profile_location_group.dynamic_business_profile_location_group_filter.listing_id_filters, 
  asset_set.business_profile_location_group.dynamic_business_profile_location_group_filter.label_filters, 
  asset_set.business_profile_location_group.dynamic_business_profile_location_group_filter.business_name_filter.filter_type, 
  asset_set.business_profile_location_group.dynamic_business_profile_location_group_filter.business_name_filter.business_name, 
  asset_set_asset.resource_name, asset_set.name, 
  asset_set.location_set.business_profile_location_set.business_name_filter, 
  asset_set.resource_name, asset.resource_name, asset.name FROM asset_set_asset

Thanks,
