Copying from Google Ads to Yahoo! JAPAN Ads destination

When the new Search Ads 360 creates new campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, negative keywords, and assets as part of a copy operation, only some of the settings are copied from the source campaign, as described below.

Campaign settings for Yahoo! JAPAN Ads

For each source campaign, the new Search Ads 360 creates a new campaign and copies the settings listed below.

Some Google Ads settings may have different names or require the new Search Ads 360 to make adjustments in the destination campaign.

Google Ads source	Yahoo! JAPAN Ads destination campaign settings
Campaign type	Only Google Ads Search campaigns can be copied.
Name	Name
Daily budget	Daily budget: The new Search Ads 360 converts the daily budget to yen and rounds to the nearest 100 yen. If the daily budget is below the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads minimum value (¥100 JPY), the new Search Ads 360 sets the daily budget to the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads minimum value. If the daily budget is below the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads minimum value and is a shared budget, the new Search Ads 360 sets the daily budget to the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads minimum value and then pauses the destination campaign.
Ad delivery method	Ad delivery method
Start date and End date	Start date and End date If the start or end date in the source campaign is in the past, the new Search Ads 360 uses today's date in the destination campaign, or tomorrow’s date if the campaign is a flighted budget campaign. If the end date in the source campaign is in the past, and the source campaign requires an end date (such as a flighted budget campaign), the new Search Ads 360 uses the source campaign’s end date if it’s set. If no end date has been set, it calculates the end date by adding today’s date plus the original campaign duration. If the source campaign doesn’t require an end date, the new Search Ads 360 uses the source campaign’s end date if it’s set. If no end date has been set, it uses no end date.
