What is this Google Ads geographic location code?
I connected to my Google Ads account through Tableau's API and pulled a Geographic report. However, I am confused as to what these codes/fields mean? I've googled each field and I can't find anything that resembles the format of these numeric codes. How can I translate these locations to names of cities/areas?
Thanks
I'm guessing the Metro area is the Designated Marketing Area(DMA) or Media Market. This page has these entries in a linked CSV and states to contact Nielson for DMA data.
