Hi Anthony, Actually parent_geo_target is a dumbed-down version of ParentLocations:
1. It skips some hierarchy. Example: according to parent_geo_target the postal code *SW4* (id: 9045894) is a child of *England* (id: 20339). But ParentLocations accurately includes the city *London* (id: 1006886). 2. In addition it can't replace ParentLocations as some locations actually have multiple parents. Example *Kwinana Town Centre* (id: 1000658) is actually a child of both *Perth* (id: 1000676) and *Southern & Fremantle* (id: 9060985). Which can be derived via the ParentLocations field and verified in the Google Ads UI. To switch from the Adwords API I would need the equivalent of the ParentLocations field that returns all of the location's parents. /Sebastian On Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 9:46:29 PM UTC+1 Kevin wrote: > Worked for me, thanks Anthony! > > On Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 7:52:52 AM UTC-8 adsapiforumadvisor > wrote: > >> Hi Kevin, >> >> In Google Ads API, you can use the GeoTargetConstantService >> <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v6/GeoTargetConstantService> >> >> which will return locations.
