Performance report based on Proximity and Location

[cha...@jvweb.fr]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to get a report which could show Proximity and Location performance ordered by campaign.

I read the documentation on Adwords API, and I found this here:

Geo performance reporting

You can analyze the effectiveness of geo targeting in your campaigns by running reports. The AdWords API provides you two report types to get geo performance data:

1. You can use the geo performance report.
2. You can use the criteria report, and filter by CriteriaType=LOCATION or PROXIMITY to get geo performance data for a particular geo target.

The 2nd point is exactly what I am looking for.

In Adwords UI, I picked a campaign where I have many Locations and Proximities criterion with a report on the last 7 days.

Then, I downloaded the report through the Adwords API (v201601, with a dotnet c# client) using this ReportDefinition object (I changed the campaign Id):

            ReportDefinition definition = new ReportDefinition()
            {
                reportType = ReportDefinitionReportType.CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT,
                downloadFormat = DownloadFormat.CSVFOREXCEL,
                dateRangeType = ReportDefinitionDateRangeType.LAST_7_DAYS,
                selector = new Selector()
                {
                    predicates = new Predicate[] { Predicate.Equals("CampaignId", 00000000000) },
                    fields = new string[] { "Id", "CriteriaType", "Criteria", "CampaignId", "CampaignName", "AdGroupId", "AdGroupName", "LabelIds", "Labels", "DisplayName" },
                },
                includeZeroImpressions = true
            };

 

            definition.reportName = definition.reportType.ToString() + " " + definition.dateRangeType.ToString();

In the downloaded criteria report, in the column "CriteriaType", I have 0 row corresponding to a "Proximity" or "Location" whereas I'm using the same settings on UI and the API.

Can't understand why it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?

Could you try to reproduce this issue?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Charles.

Hi Charles,

Could you provide the following information so that we can investigate further: 

1. ClientCusomerID of the adwords account

2. campaign id

3. the criteria performance report you got.
