Ideally I want to be able to use gender, age range, proximity and some sort of "interests" criterion (which I think is "verticals" in the AdWords API?). I tried using the code from one of the examples which has age-range and gender but they were both rejected with the "CANNOT_ADD_CRITERION_TO_SEARCH_PLUS_CAMPAIGNS" error message.
I'm guessing that the reason I can't use them is because I'm apparently using a "search plus campaign". I have no idea how I've made it one of those, the MCC says the campaign I've created is "search only" but ones I've created through the AdWords website are "with display network". What do I need to do to make the campaign "search only"? I'm just following the code examples from the .NET nuget package at the moment.
