Do you use
LocationGroups in
CampaignCriterion? If so, read on to learn about a new key in the
Forward Compatibility Map to identify whether a Location Group is compatible with the AdWords user interface or the API.
Through the Campaign Settings tab of the user interface and the AdWords API
CampaignCriterionService, you can create a
LocationGroups campaign criteria to target locations within a specific radius around all of your campaign's location extensions.
The user interface also allows you to further restrict the
LocationGroups criterion to location extensions within
geographical targets or
Cities-DMA regions. However, the AdWords API does
not currently support modifying these additional settings.
To indicate in the AdWords API that someone created a configuration of the latter form through the user interface, the
CampaignCriterion.forwardCompatibilityMap has a new key called
LocationGroups.locationId.

We’re working to support the
geographical targets and
Cities-DMA regions option in future API versions.
Be on the lookout for an upcoming addition to the
Forward Compatibility Map regarding which feed ID will be used for proximity targeting.
