Re: demographics targeting in adgroup

2018-07-18 Thread 'Sreelakshmi Sasidharan (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum 
Hello,

I had replied to you on the private thread that I am following up with the 
team for further updates and to check if the current behavior is the 
expected behavior. Also, that the AdGroupBidModifierService 

 can 
only be used to set the bid adjustments for the supported criterion types. 
To add the criterion, you will still need to use the AdGroupCriterionService 

. 

I do have some updates regarding the demographic criterion like Gender, 
AgeRange, Parental status. These criteria types are special as they have 
discrete set of possible values and all the possible values will be enabled 
by default on each campaign and ad group. Which means, all the values are 
targeted by default. 

If you want to target only one of the values (such as AgeRange 35-44 for 
example), the proper approach is to exclude all the other values for the 
campaign or ad group based on your use case. That said, the API's behavior 
is inline with what is shared above. Since all the values are enabled 
anyway, setting one range explicitly is not making the difference. Hope 
this clarifies your question. Please let me know if you have any further 
questions. 

Thanks,
Sreelakshmi, AdWords API team

Hello, 

Thanks for the details. I was able to recreate the issue that you 
specified. However, one way to confirm that the criterion is really set is 
to perform an AdGroupCriterionService.get() 

 for 
that ad group and check that the ones you set are the only ones which are 
being returned by the API. If you wish to specifically exclude other ranges 
in a given demographic, you could explicitly set it as a 
NegativeAdGroupCriterion 
.
 
I will confirm with the team if the UI not reflecting the status is 
actually the expected behavior. In the meantime, could you please use the 
method suggested above to identify which demographic criterion is set?

About the AdGroupBidModifierService 
,
 
you will have to have the criterion explicitly set in order to set the bid 
adjustments via this service. Could you please elaborate what is the 
behavior you are observing while using this service? If you have the SOAP 
logs, that will be helpful too. Please use *reply privately to author* 
while sharing the details. 

Thanks,
Sreelakshmi, AdWords API Team

Re: demographics targeting in adgroup

2018-06-28 Thread 'Sreelakshmi Sasidharan (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum 
Hello, 

When a new ad group is created, until you explicitly set a demographic 
targeting criterion, everything will be targeted by default. No targeting 
criteria would mean target all criteria. That said, when you explicitly set 
a targeting criterion, the other ranges in that demographics should be 
automatically set to "Removed" status. I was able to test this using the 
API. To be sure, could you please try to create a new ad group and target 
any one criterion in a demographic, for instance age range 18to24 (503001) 
and then check the UI to see if the correct status is reflected? If not, 
could you confirm the API version that you are using? Also, if you could 
share that ad group id without making any further updates, it will help me 
in troubleshooting. 

Thanks,

demographics targeting in adgroup

2018-06-28 Thread V54328u 
I am able to create campaign successfully and  adgroup.

i have added code for demographics targeting : age, gender and parental 
status.

Suppose a user has selected age range "18-24"

next i am using 
AgeRange newAge = new AgeRange();
newAge.setId("id as per google api");

BiddableAdGroupCriterion biddableAdGroupCriterion = new 
BiddableAdGroupCriterion();
biddableAdGroupCriterion.setAdGroupId(adGroup.getId());
biddableAdGroupCriterion.setCriterion(newAge);
AdGroupCriterionOperation genderAdGroupCriterionOperation = new 
AdGroupCriterionOperation();
genderAdGroupCriterionOperation.setOperand(biddableAdGroupCriterion);
genderAdGroupCriterionOperation.setOperator(Operator.ADD);

// i am adding all "AdGroupCriterionOperation" to an array "adGrpOperations
".
adGrpOperations.add(genderAdGroupCriterionOperation);

AdGroupCriterionReturnValue adGrpresult = 
adGroupCriterionService.mutate(adGrpOperations.toArray(new 
AdGroupCriterionOperation[adGrpOperations.size()]));

this code is working fine, i do not get any error.. my campaign and adgroup 
is created. but when i check in google , all age range are targeted... for 
not including the other age range, do i need to use NegativeAdGroupCriterion? 

am i doing something wrong in this?..please help
