How to use the {loc_physical_ms} ValueTrack?

[Heinrich Held]

Hi,

I want to pass on the user's location to my landing pages with the {loc_physical_ms} parameter. 

But I am not sure how to place the tag into my URL.

I tried:

www.example.com/?location={loc_physical_ms}

...but it doesn't seem to work. 

Also, what exactly is passed on with {loc_physical_ms}? I am assuming its the "Criteria ID" (like on this list https://fusiontables.google.com/DataSource?docid=1IYYsfUXLaXOXUk8mG0thJC3se1Y3gdl1bFiP3ONp#rows:id=1) and not the actual name of the city.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Could you try the below:
www.example.com/new{lpurl}?location={loc_physical_ms}

Where {loc_physical_ms} is the ID of the geographical location of the click. Please refer guide for better clarity. If you still have issues, since this is a product specific question, could you please post it in the advertiser community forum as the product experts there will be better equipped to answer your question.
