Use bulksheets to edit bid strategies

In Search Ads 360 you can use specially formatted spreadsheets (called “bulksheets”) and upload them to make changes to your Google Ads and Search Ads 360 portfolio bid strategies in bulk. Using the columns in the bulksheet, you can edit your bidding targets across campaigns and multiple accounts.

Please note that Search Ads 360 currently only supports editing using bulksheets for Google Ads and Search Ads 360 portfolio bid strategies.


How it works

Within Search Ads 360, you can download a spreadsheet template which contains columns for bid strategy, bid strategy type, account, customer ID and more. You can then manually edit the rows for the campaigns where you’d like to update the bid strategies. When the rows of your spreadsheet are filled in with the items you’d like to create or edit, you can then upload the spreadsheet to Search Ads 360.

Note: The spreadsheet must be in one of the following formats (Google Sheets (not in sFTP), .xls, .xlsx, .tsv, or .csv).
