If you copy a campaign that includes location assets from Google Places, you might see this message:
Your selection includes Google Places location assets that cannot be copied. To create or update these assets, sign in to your Google Places account.
You can safely ignore this message and click OK to continue. The warning is just there to remind you how the integration between Google Places and Google Ads Editor works. Keep reading for more details.
Google Ads Editor can display two types of location assets:
- Manual assets have "Google Ads" in the Source column on the Location Assets tab. As with keywords or ads, you can copy, paste, edit, and otherwise manipulate manual assets.
- Google Places assets are pulled automatically from your Google Places account when you associate the account with your campaign (at the bottom of your Campaigns tab). You cannot copy or edit Google Places assets.
The point of the warning message is that Google Ads Editor copies everything inside the campaign except the Google Places assets. However, the Google Places account association does get copied into the new campaign. Assuming you keep the Google Places account association intact, the Google Places assets will appear in the new campaign after some time.
After you click OK, you can proceed with pasting the campaign.
