Copying from Google Ads to Baidu destination

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

Campaign settings for Baidu

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.

Location targets	Location targets: Country Region City Note that the new Search Ads 360 doesn’t copy metro targets to Baidu campaigns. For the other types of location targets, the new Search Ads 360 changes the geo codes used by Google Ads into the equivalent geo codes used by Baidu whenever possible. When Baidu doesn't have an equivalent geo code, the action the new Search Ads 360 takes depends on whether the code includes a larger or smaller area than Google Ads: If a Baidu code includes a larger area than the source Google Ads campaign, the new Search Ads 360 doesn’t copy the code. The new Search Ads 360 pauses the Baidu campaign and outputs a message in the “Bulk actions” page. If a Baidu code includes a smaller area than the source Google Ads campaign, the new Search Ads 360 copies the code and outputs a message in the “Bulk actions” page. The new Search Ads 360 doesn’t pause the Baidu campaign.

Keyword settings for Baidu

For each keyword in the source campaigns, the new Search Ads 360 creates a new keyword in the destination campaigns and copies the settings listed below.

Google Ads source	Baidu destination keyword settings
Text	Text
Match type	Match type
Minimum bid	Minimum bid
Maximum bid	Maximum bid
Landing page URL	Desktop URL Baidu keywords require two landing pages: one for mobile devices and another for non-mobile devices. However, Google Ads provides only one field for defining a landing page, with the option to use {ifmobile}{ifnotmobile} parameters to specify device-specific landing pages. When you copy a campaign to Baidu, the new Search Ads 360 copies the Google Ads landing page URL to Baidu's non-mobile URL field. If the landing page URL uses {ifmobile}{ifnotmobile} parameters, the new Search Ads 360 generates two separate clickserver URLs, one for each device type, and traffics the clickserver URLs to Baidu. If the landing page doesn’t use these parameters, the new Search Ads 360 generates one clickserver URL for the desktop URL, and then traffics the clickserver URL for both the mobile URL and desktop URL in Baidu. If the Google Ads keyword doesn't specify a landing page URL, the new Search Ads 360 copies a landing page URL from an active ad in the same ad group.
