Location Ad Extension Record - Bulk

Defines a location ad extension that can be downloaded and uploaded in a bulk file.

You can associate a location ad extension with the account or with campaigns in the account. Each entity (account or campaign) can be associated with as many location ad extensions as you decide, up to the total number of location ad extensions in your account. Use the Account Location Ad Extension and Campaign Location Ad Extension records to manage location ad extension associations.

You can download all Location Ad Extension records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of LocationAdExtensions in the DownloadCampaignsByAccountIds or DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds service request. Additionally the download request must include the EntityData scope. For more details about the Bulk service including best practices, see Bulk Download and Upload.

The following Bulk CSV example would add a new Location Ad Extension to the account's shared library.

If you are using the Bing Ads SDKs for .NET, Java, or Python, you can save time using the BulkServiceManager to upload and download the BulkLocationAdExtension object, instead of calling the service operations directly and writing custom code to parse each field in the bulk file.

Ad Schedule

The list of day and time ranges that you want the ad extension to be displayed with your ads. Each day and time range includes the scheduled day of week, start/end hour, and start/end minute. Each day and time range is enclosed by left and right parentheses, and separated from other day and time ranges with a semicolon (;) delimiter. Within each day and time range the format is Day[StartHour:StartMinue-EndHour:EndMinute].

The possible values of StartHour range from 00 to 23, where 00 is equivalent to 12:00AM and 12 is 12:00PM.

The possible values of EndHour range from 00 to 24, where 00 is equivalent to 12:00AM and 12 is 12:00PM.

The possible values of StartMinute and EndMinute range from 00 to 60.

The following example demonstrates day and time ranges during weekdays from 9:00AM through 9:00PM: (Monday[09:00-21:00]);(Tuesday[09:00-21:00]);(Wednesday[09:00-21:00]);(Thursday[09:00-21:00]);(Friday[09:00-21:00])

Add: Optional. If you do not set this field, the ad extension will be eligible for scheduling anytime during the calendar start and end dates.
Update: Optional. The individual day and time ranges cannot be updated. You can effectively update the day and time ranges by sending a new set that should replace the prior set. The Ad Schedule, End Date, Start Date, and Use Searcher Time Zone fields depend on each other and are updated together. If you leave all of these fields empty during update, then none of them are updated. If you include values for any of these fields, then the prior values for all of these fields are removed or replaced. To remove all prior schedule settings, set each of these fields to delete_value.

Latitude

The latitude specified in degrees. The latitude must be greater than or equal to -85 and less than or equal to +85.

The latitude and longitude coordinates are used to mark the business' location on Bing Maps when the user clicks the address on the ad. If the specified coordinates are not within the range of valid values, the service determines the coordinates based on the address.
