Use a bulksheet to disable or filter location assets

Before you start, set up and sync location assets.

Instead of disabling or filtering location assets in one campaign or ad group at a time, you can use bulksheets to manage assets in many campaigns and ad groups in a single upload:

1. Download an editable bulksheet that contains campaigns and ad groups:
   1. Navigate to a Google Ads client account.
   2. Click Campaigns.
   3. Select the checkbox next to the campaigns you want to edit and click Filter to selected campaigns.
      • You can also filter the reporting table so it contains only the campaigns you want to edit.
   4. Click the download icon , which appears above the reporting table.
   5. Choose among the various types of file format to download. You can also go to More options and click Download.
2. Open the bulksheet and find the Location filter column.
   Enter one of the following into the column:
   1. (inherited): This is the default setting. It enables a campaign to display any location asset from your Google Business Profile account. The setting causes an ad group to inherit the campaign's setting.
   2. (disabled): This prevents a campaign or ad group from displaying any location asset.
   3. A filter, formatted as follows:
      (Business name is value) and (Category is value|value|value)
      You can specify only a single criteria, such as:
      (Business name is Example name)
      or
      (Category is Electronics)
      Multiple categories need to be joined by | (vertical bar), while Business name and Category need to be joined by and (all lower case).
      Note that if a campaign specifies (disabled) but an ad group specifies a filter, the ad group's setting will override the campaign's setting.
3. Save the bulksheet and upload it to Search Ads 360.
