Pausing and labeling Ad Groups with no active keywords

[Kamila]

Hi, I'm a beginner and trying to run an easy script for pausing ad groups with no active keywords and labeling them. I don't understand why creating a new label is not possible and keep getting error message "The label No Active Kws does not exist."  Does anyone know how to correct it?

function main() { 

function createLabelIfNecessary(labelName) {

  if (!AdWordsApp.labels()

          .withCondition("LabelName = 'No Active Kws'")

          .get().hasNext()) {

    AdWordsApp.createLabel("No Active Kws","Ad groups with no active kws");

  }}

  var ag_iter = AdWordsApp.adGroups()

  .get();

  

  while(ag_iter.hasNext()) {

    var ag = ag_iter.next();

   

    var kw_iter = ag.keywords()

      .withCondition("Status = ENABLED")

      .get();

    var has_kw = kw_iter.hasNext();

     createLabelIfNecessary("No Active Kws");

    if(!has_kw) {

      ag.applyLabel("No Active Kws");

 ag.pause();

    }

  }}

Hi Kamila,

The script should run fine if you were to Run rather than Previewing it. Labels don't get created in preview mode.

Hi. This script works for me. It is the best "Pause and label adgroups without keywords" script I have used yet. Thank you.

Good morning,

I have a question about the script.

Right now, the script also pauses adgroups in the deleted and paused campaigns.
Is it possible to exclude paused and deleted campaigns. I have tried it with the function: .withCondition('CampaignStatus = ENABLED')

This is not working. Also I want to exclude some of the campaigns, like the DSA campaigns. I tried it with the function: .withCondition("CampaignName DOES_NOT_CONTAIN 'DSA'")

But, also this is not working. Could you help me?

Kind regards,
Iris van Eldik

Hi Iris,

.withCondition("CampaignStatus = ENABLED") should exclude paused and deleted campaigns. You could also provide me with your CID (reply privately to the author) for me to take a look at your full script.  If you are running into issues and also want to include only certain campaigns (excluding DSA), you may be interested in filtering by labels instead.

Thanks,

May i know where to apply this part of script ".withCondition("CampaignStatus = ENABLED")" ?

[Anthony Madrigal]

Hi Angeline,

It depends which entity you are looking for. For example, if you want to find ad groups whose campaigns are enabled, you will need to use AdWordsApp.adGroups().withCondition("CampaignStatus = ENABLED").get().

Since this is an old thread, if you have any additional questions, please create a new thread.

Hi, it seems not possible to identify DSA campaigns without manually labeling these campaigns, adgroups and so forth. I received message from Adwords telling me that there where adgroups without any keywords. Since I have multiple scrips running and hundreds of adgroups I would have been nice to exclude the DSA adgroups. In fact in the message I've received from Google they listed only non-DSA adgroups. Sady I can not create a script that gives me the exact same list. hence I can not create an script to pause or remove these empty non-dsa adgroups.

Hi,

Since there is currently no available field that will return the campaign and adGroup type that will determine if it is DSA or not, then aside from labeling these DSA entities, you may also want to try using Keywordless Query Report which will return search terms on DSA level. It has the AdGroupId and CampaignId fields. However, please take note that this will return search terms information that generated stats since it is a report. 

Another way to get the DSA adGroups is to generate the Ad Group Performance Report and filter for AdGroupType = SEARCH_DYNAMIC_ADS as seen in this detailed guide.

I hope this helps. If you will need further clarifications, please create a new forum thread as this is an old one.

It works if you remove 2 redundant "}" at the end of the scripts. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to remove the label part of this script? I want to pause all ad groups with paused keywords. 

Thanks!

I wanted to just label the ad groups with no K2S and remove the last line ag.pause part but foudn out that only no active kw's label has been created but the ad groups dont have the label :( 

[2chainz]

And also another important question since I'm using SA360  inventory management option;

Would my label be removed if some ad groups have active KW's now?

Hi,

If you just want to label all the ad groups that don't have any keywords in your Google Ads account, then you may use the simplified script below. Please note that the label 'No Active Kws' should be created first before executing the script.
function main() { 
  var ag_iter = AdsApp.adGroups().get();

  
  while(ag_iter.hasNext()) {
    var ag = ag_iter.next();
   
    var kw_iter = ag.keywords()
      .withCondition("Status = ENABLED")
      .get();

    if(kw_iter.totalNumEntities() < 1){
      ag.applyLabel("No Active Keywords")
    }
  }
}

Let me know if you have questions.
