How to identify Google Ad Grants account

[SR]

Do we have any specific field to identify whether the ad account is a Nonprofit account with Google Ads Grant?

This is required when creating a campaign through API because targetSearchNetwork should be False for Ads grant account as Search partners are not allowed.

Thanks.

Hi SR,

I am Sherwin from Google Ads API. I hope that you are doing well today.

I can see here that you raised a concern regarding Google Ads Grant. To be honest with you, this is out of our scope of support. What we can do here now is to advise you to reach out to Google Ads Support regarding this matter, as they may be able to provide further insight.

With regards to the requirement that you said, upon checking here on this link for campaign management, there appears to be no mention of an ad grant requirement for creating campaigns. That said, could you share any relevant documentation stating this requirement when creating campaigns in your Google Ads account?

Regards,

Thanks much for your quick response.

When we tried to validate a Search campaign for the Google ad grants account, we got the following error:

cannot target search network

network_setting = {
                      'targetGoogleSearch': 'true',
                      'targetSearchNetwork': 'true',
                      'targetContentNetwork': 'false',
                      'targetPartnerSearchNetwork': 'false'
                      } 

It is mentioned in the below link that Search partners are not allowed.

https://support.google.com/google-ads/thread/1473132/cannot-target-search-network-error-ad-grants?hl=en

So we changed the n/w setting and validated the campaign, it works.

network_setting = {
                      'targetGoogleSearch': 'true',
                      'targetSearchNetwork': 'false',
                      'targetContentNetwork': 'false',
                      'targetPartnerSearchNetwork': 'false'
                      } 

Please confirm whether we can publish a campaign in Google ad grants account the same way how we setup a campaign in a normal ad account.

Do we have any limitations in publishing a campaign using Google ads api in Google ad grants account ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your response and for the additional details you included.

You may note that the Google Ad Grants account is outside the scope of our API support team. For more information on campaign management eligibilities of this type of account, I would highly recommend that you reach out to the Google Ads Product support team via this link.

As for the issue with the target_search_network setting, while the API may return an error on its usage, the appropriate support team to discuss the policies involved and whether these settings can be used by your account and in their campaigns should also be the Google Ads Product support team.

To elaborate further, a Product level validation may have been triggered and was then only reflected in your API transaction's response. I hope this helps.

Best regards,
