{loc_physical_ms} values and Target Type

[Pascal MERRIEN]

Hi,

I want to run an adwords campaign and get the physical location of the user through a parameter in the final URL. I read it is possible to add {loc_physical_ms} in the url to get the ID of the location.

I saw in the list of IDs of location that we have different Target type : Airport, City, Postcode, departement...

I would like to know how to make sure to get only the ID of the location corresponding to the City (target type) ?

Thank you

Regards

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

While using the ValueTrack Parameter, {loc_physical_ms} within your URL to get the ID of the location, you can't restrict which type of location IDs it collect's. But by utilizing the LocationCriterionService, you'll be able to retrieve the criterion ID for a location. In this scenario you must include predicates, which is equivalent to filters in the Adwords user interface. Include the location you wish to specify within your predicate to get results for that area. Here's a link with sample code in Java that illustrates this process. For other languages please visit the Adwords client library.
