Re: not able to choose the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting in the ui of mobile app install ads' adgroup.

Hi Nadine,

I tried CONVERSION_OPTIMIZER according to this article https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/driving-mobile-app-downloads. But fail again with the Targeting Optimization check box disappeared.

I read https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201509/CampaignService.BiddingStrategyConfiguration?hl=zh-cn, I think there is no other option could be set for the mobile app install ads.

Best Regards,

Greetings Sonic Sun!

Are you talking about the Targeting Optimization check box that isn't appearing? The reason that's not appearing is because there's a difference in your bidding strategy for the two ad groups.  At the top of the first screenshot, I can see that your bidding strategy is Target CPA (conversions). In the later screenshots showing the API created ad group, the bidding strategy is Max CPC. By default, a new campaign cannot do Target CPA because there needs to be conversions already in the system for it to take effect. This difference in bidding strategy means that the check box won't be there until there are enough click to allow you to convert that ad group over to CPA rather than CPC. Check out our Bidding guide for a more in-depth explanation of how CPC versus CPA works in the API.

Hi,

I think this is a problem between the api and the ui of the adwords, why should I ask this question on the Community Forum? It should not be an api bug?

BRs,

Hello,

Since you are unable to select the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting in the UI, I recommend asking your question on the AdWords Community Forum. They should be the best suited to help you.
