I have few question.

How do I make the ad group visible to particular age group.

With below setting from the API,

'xsi_type': 'BiddableAdGroupCriterion'

'criterion':

'xsi_type': 'AgeRange'

'id': '503001 (18to24)

When go to UI, under AdGroup->Demographics I still see other ages are enabled (like 25to34, 35to44).My expectation was it should be enabled to 18to24 only.

How do i make it specific to 18to24 only.

I also tried

'xsi_type': 'NegativeAdGroupCriterion'

'criterion':

'xsi_type': 'AgeRange'

'id': '503003'

Then i see it is disabled for (35to44)

So by default all the age ranges are enabled ? Can I explicitly create for one age range only adgroup by using BiddableAdGroupCriterion or I have to mention list of agegroups in NegativeAdGroupCriterion which I want to be excluded ?

Thanks,

-A

Hi Arnab,

Thank you for posting your concern.

With regard to your concern about age range, please see my comments below for your each question:

So by default all the age ranges are enabled ?

Yes, you are correct that all the options are enabled by default.

Can I explicitly create for one age range only adgroup by using BiddableAdGroupCriterion or I have to mention list of agegroups in NegativeAdGroupCriterion which I want to be excluded ?

You may explicitly create for one age range by specifying the age range, and you don't need to use NegativeAdGroupCriterion to exclude other age ranges.

So I can confirm the issue further, could you provide your Client customer ID or the complete SOAP request and response logs?
