If you go to my website https://iclintz.com/ and go to inspect and click on the mobile phone simulator and scroll down a little bit first, a google ad appears at the top, when you scroll back up to the very top, there is some padding that has been added and clicking on minimise on the google ad keeps the padding there. This issue is happening on all phones. I could not figure out why this is happening and there are no errors regarding this in the console log.

Any ideas for the cause of the issue or potential fixes? I've seen other sites that use google auto ads, but they do not suffer from the same problem.

I'm working at an agency and I would like to get the Spend data for all of our accounts to be imported into BigQuery to make a budget overview dashboard.

I've set up a Data Transfer and I managed to join some tables in the SQL editor from doing some research and learning SQL along the way. The data I get seems to be good.

However, I can't seem to find "Account Name" anywhere in the tables/views, I only find "ExternalCustomerId" which matches the AccountId, but the Account Name would of course be much better.

I've found that in the "Account Performance Report" or "Campaign Criteria", the name should be available, but I don't have these reports in my Data Transfer, I get different tables (see screenshots).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot!

It was my first time to do app download campaign via google ads. I created a Universal app campaign and has no idea how to add in my tracking parameter on my campaign level. I have tried to append the tracking parameters with final url suffix, however, I've been informed there was no eligible ads found while all my 3 ads are approved.

- The app store link is : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yuurewards.app

- The part I tried to append via final url suffix but failed: referrer=utm_source%3DSCMP%26utm_medium%3DEM%26utm_content%3DPerformance_EM_IG_v2_app_store%26utm_campaign%3Dapps-launch%26anid%3Dadmob

- What I expect to have for the final url: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yuurewards.app&referrer=utm_source%3DSCMP%26utm_medium%3DEM%26utm_content%3DPerformance_EM_IG_v2_app_store%26utm_campaign%3Dapps-launch%26anid%3Dadmob

Would you please let me know how to append the utm parameters for my app download campaign so that my client can differentiate the downloads are coming from my campaign?

Created App Campaign for an Android app that has Firebase(Google) Analytics SDK added. We're generating a couple of events and we're able to get conversions based on user usage.

Example of conversion:

  • User clicks on ad
  • Is redirected on try-app landing page on our website
  • Clicks on google play store
  • Installs app
  • Do a certain action for N times
  • Success: we have a conversion.

Everything works as expected for App Campaigns. The problem that I've encountered is with Video and Display Campaigns. I can't seem to replicate the same behaviour as for app campaigns. I'm not recording any conversions.

Has anyone run into the same problem? I've been struggling for two weeks now and I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have a problem integrating branch.io with google Adwords. Although I've made all required steps and branch.io says that integration works fine, conversions in google Adwords don't match to conversions in branch.io and don't match with conversions in Google play. On the screenshot you can see that the difference is huge. I've tried to reauthenticate, to turn on and off the conversions in Adwords, but nothing helps. The support is responding once per week and is not useful at all so I've decided to ask for help here, maybe someone has faced this issue before?

PS: In branch.io I have notification "Your Branch and Google timezone settings do not match." but, it is only because in branch.io there is no Uzbekistan timezone. In both Adwords and Branch.io the timezones are +5 GMT.

Thank you! Screenshot
