Reports using Targeted Region
Gabriel Bonatto
I would like to clarify some doubts regarding both the UI and the API. We have some campaigns that run with proximity segmentation, based on radius and coordinates. Can I extract this information via the API? In this case, in the UI, we have a report on Campaigns/Targeted Region/Cost, etc., and I would like to extract a report with this information via the API.
Another question is about how the data aggregation works in the UI, because in these cases I am noticing some discrepancies in the values when we aggregate by Campaigns/Targeted Region and when we separate, for example, as Campaign/Region (matched), we have different cost values, I also notice that some Demand Gen campaigns are not included in this Segmentation Region report. Below are two images for comparison. I appreciate any help :)
Have a good day.

Response: Please note that it is possible to retrieve campaign related data with various proximity fields using campaign_criterion report present in Google Ads API. Kindly refer to the following sample GAQL query:
SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name, campaign_criterion.proximity.radius, campaign_criterion.proximity.radius_units, campaign_criterion.proximity.geo_point.latitude_in_micro_degrees, campaign_criterion.proximity.geo_point.longitude_in_micro_degrees FROM campaign_criterion
You can use the search or searchStream methods for making the API calls while retrieving the data. Additionally, you can utilize the Google Ads Query Builder and Query Validator to build and validate the GAQL queries. If the fields which you are trying to retrieve are not present in this report, kindly provide an uncropped UI screenshot of your Google Ads account displaying the fields which you are trying to retrieve with the visibility of your Google Ads customer Id.

Response: Please note that Google Ads UI related issues are out of scope for our team as our team only provides support for Google Ads API related concerns and technical implementations. In order to help you further with UI related issues, kindly provide your Google Ads customer Id and uncropped UI screenshots highlighting the data which you are comparing and observing the discrepancy. Kindly note that the screenshots which you have provided are not the UI screenshots of your Google Ads account. Also, I observed that in one screenshot you have retrieved the data based on distance of around 1-15 km and in the other screenshot you have retrieved the data based on the region. Please note that there can be a difference in the area of a region and the defined area in km radius. Therefore discrepancy in such a case is expected.
- I also notice that some Demand Gen campaigns are not included in this Segmentation Region report. Below are two images for comparison.
Response: Kindly note that we do not have visibility to how you are retrieving the data. If you are retrieving some reports using Google Ads API and are not able to retrieve any values related to demand gen campaign, kindly let us know are you able to retrieve the desired data using Google Ads API? If yes, kindly provide an uncropped UI screenshot of your Google Ads account highlighting the fields which you want to retrieve and the GAQL query which you are using and are not able to retrieve the details.
You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.
