Remove ad group bid modifier

[Rodolfo Saldanha]

Hey,

I'd like to remove ad group bid modifiers, but I managed only to update the resource. I'm currently setting ad_group_bid_modifier.bid_modifier to 1 and I believe it works because I see the adjustment as 0% on Google Ads. However, I'd like to fully remove the bid modifier programmatically and not appear the 0%. Is that possible or do I have to do the removal manually in order to that happen?

Best regards,

Hi Rodolfo,

Thank you for your question.

You can refer to this guide for more information on how you can manage your bid adjustments (modifiers). I hope this helps.

Hi Rodolfo,

since the guide linked by Peter only states to show examples on how to remove AdGroup Bid Modifiers but fails to actually provide such an example, here how it should work (using the Python library):

ad_group_bm_service = googleads_client.get_service('AdGroupBidModifierService')

operations = []

ad_group_bid_modifier_operation = googleads_client.get_type('AdGroupBidModifierOperation')

resource_name = f"customers/{customer_id}/adGroupBidModifiers/{ad_group_id}~{criterion_id}"

ad_group_bid_modifier_operation.remove = resource_name

operations.append(ad_group_bid_modifier_operation)

ad_group_bm_response = (

ad_group_bm_service.mutate_ad_group_bid_modifiers(

customer_id=str(customer_id), operations=operations)

)

Hello Mat,

Thanks for sharing a sample code.

Just to add context here regardless of what client library is used. When removing AdGroup Bid Modifiers, use the remove operation under the AdGroupBidModifierOperation.
