Introducing new ways to ask questions on Google and Lens to help you find what you need more effortlessly using AI.
Voice input in Google Lens lets you make your voice heard as you search. Here’s how to use this new feature.
The detail_placement_view can be used to query metrics aggregated by ad group and URL or YouTube video in the Google Ads API. The detail_placement_view is not intended to be used for campaigns with an advertising_channel_type of PERFORMANCE_MAX, as this view is only intended to be used with campaigns containing ad groups, and Performance Max campaigns are constructed with asset groups rather than ad groups. However, this view is currently returning impression data for Performance Max campaigns. The impression metrics returned from the detail_placement_view may not be accurate and should not be relied upon for campaigns with advertising_channel_type of PERFORMANCE_MAX.
In the next release of the Google Ads API, v18, we will be adding a new resource called performance_max_placement_view, which can be used to query placement impression data for Performance Max campaigns, and in a subsequent release, we will stop returning impression data from the detail_placement_view for campaigns with advertising_channel_type of PERFORMANCE_MAX. Once performance_max_placement_view is released, use the data returned from that view for Performance Max campaigns rather than the data returned from the detail_placement_view.

Starting on October 16, 2024, we will start rolling out changes to search and display reporting. As a result of this change, Google Ads Query Language (GAQL) queries for campaigns with an advertising_channel_type of SEARCH or DISPLAY will return a value of 0 for any metrics in that GAQL query when you include the fields segments.asset_interaction_target.asset or segments.asset_interaction_target.interaction_on_this_asset in the query.
We are making this change now to ensure the accuracy of reporting data in preparation for future launches. If you have any questions or need help, check out the Google Ads API support page for options.
