Bid adjustment mismatch while location targetting

[Ankit Pradhan]

Hi team,

I want to achieve the google ads functionality of adjusting bids while location targetting. However, we have somewhat achieved the functionality but there is a % mismatch on our application and google ads UI. 

If we set bid adjustment value 3 on our side, then on google ads side it is showing 200%. 

if (locationObj.containsKey("bidModifier") && !locationObj.getString("bidModifier").equals("0")
&& !locationObj.getString("bidModifier").equals("0.0")) {

campaignCriterion.setBidModifier(Float.parseFloat(locationObj.getString("bidModifier")));

}
CampaignCriterionOperation operation = CampaignCriterionOperation.newBuilder()
.setCreate(campaignCriterion.build())
.build();

operations.add(operation);
}

This is the code block that we are using to adjust bids for location targetting.

Can you please help me in this as I have not found any concrete solution on this.

Thanks

Hi Ankit,

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

With regards to your concern, could you confirm if you are using the Google Ads API? If yes, since you mentioned that there is a % mismatch on our application and Google Ads UI. That said, could you please provide the uncropped screenshot of the Google Ads UI and the complete API logs in this format (request and response logs with request ID and request header) generated on your end so our team can better investigate this issue?  If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

You may then send the requested screenshot and logs via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Regards,

Carmela Google Ads API Team
