Hello , Thanks for your reply. In many case the when I requesting when targeting a city or region or metro etc. based on canonical name I can see many same entryes with all other criteria are same. for example Canonical name : Rajpur,Gujarat,India with TragetType: City Country as IN state = ENABLED has 6 entries So what is correct criteriaID? I can see to be exact 438 Canonical name has more then 1 duplications.
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/data/geotargets What I was doing: I have stored geotargets in my DB and doing this SELECT CanonicalName, CountryCode, TargetType, COUNT(*) AS total_count FROM location WHERE Status = 'active' GROUP BY CanonicalName, CountryCode, TargetType HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ORDER BY total_count DESC; Thanks On Tuesday, 22 April 2025 at 18:40:06 UTC+5:30 Google Ads API Forum Advisor wrote: > Hi, > > Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team. > > Note that the same canonical name can have multiple criterion IDs due to > different levels of targeting.
