Is there a way to send an alert when a PPC Ad is shown outside your target country/specific country?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone came across a script which sends out an email alert if an ad is shown outside a specific location/ target location?

Thanks,

Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to retrieve the locations that a particular ad has been shown, using Scripts. You could use the Geo Performance Report to get the various locations associated with impressions at the ad group and campaign level, however. 

By default, ads will be shown to people who show interest in the targeted area as well as people who are likely to actually be in the area. You may want to look into advanced location options and set them such that ads are only shown to people who are likely to be in the targeted area.
