Use bulksheets to create, manage, and apply labels

You can use bulksheets to do any of the following:

• Create labels
• Change and remove labels
• Apply and remove labels for Search Ads 360 objects

Create labels

1. Download the Label bulksheet template.
2. Open the template and enter information in each column as follows:
   • Row type: enter Label.
   • Action: enter Create.
   • Label: enter the new label you want to add.
   • Label ID: leave it blank. Search Ads 360 will generate an ID when you upload the spreadsheet.
3. Navigate to an advertiser, click Uploads in the left navigation panel, and upload the bulksheet to Search Ads 360.
   Note: The uploaded labels will be available to all engine accounts in the advertiser you navigated to. Even if you select a specific engine account in the upload settings, or even if you select Multiple Advertisers and Engine Accounts, the label will be available to all engine accounts in the current advertiser.

Change and remove labels

1. Download a report of existing labels:
   1. Navigate to an advertiser. Then click Labels in the left nav.
   2. Click the download icon , which appears above the reporting table.
2. Open the bulksheet and change or remove a label as described below.
3. Upload the bulksheet to Search Ads 360.

Change an existing label

1. In the Action column, change the value to Edit.
2. You can change the value in the Label column. All Search Ads 360 objects that are assigned this label will be updated.
3. Leave the other columns unchanged. For example, don’t change the value in the Label ID column.

Remove a label

In the Status column, change the value to Removed.
Leave the other columns unchanged. For example, don’t change the value in the Label ID column.

Restore a removed label

If remove a label, you can restore it later. All of the label associations will also be restored (that is, the label will be applied to items just as it was when you removed the label).  

1. Download a report of all existing labels, including removed labels:
   1. Navigate to an advertiser. Then click Labels in the left nav.
   2. From the Show list that appears above the reporting table, change All but removed to Show all.
   3. Click the download icon , which appears above the reporting table.
2. Open the bulksheet and find the removed label. Its Status column will contain Removed.
3. In the Status column, change Removed to Active.
4. Upload the bulksheet to Search Ads 360.

Apply and remove labels for Search Ads 360 objects

You can use a bulksheet to apply labels to an object (campaign, ad group, ad, or keyword) and remove labels from an object.

1. Download a report that contains the objects you want to label.
   For example, download a keyword report.
2. Open the bulksheet and apply or remove labels as described below.
3. Upload the bulksheet to Search Ads 360.

Apply a label to an object

In the row for the object, enter the label name in the Label column. Labels are case-sensitive, so be sure to match the capitalization of the label you want to apply. For example, Search Ads 360 considers Summer and summer to be two different labels.

When you upload the file, Search Ads 360 will apply the label to the object.

If the name you enter is not an existing label, Search Ads 360 will automatically create the label. Note that labels are case-sensitive, so if the name you enter doesn't exactly match an existing label, Search Ads 360 will create a new one.

Apply a label to a new object

In the row for the new object, enter the label name in the Label column. When you upload the file, Search Ads 360 will create the new object and apply the label to it.

Apply multiple labels to an object

Enter the label names, separated by | (bars), in the Label column. When you upload the file, Search Ads 360 will apply all of the labels to the object.

Apply additional labels to an object

If an object already has labels and you want to add more, you'll need to include the original labels in the Label column. For example, the keyword chicago flights has the label air travel midwest applied to it. To add flights as a label but also keep the existing label, enter flights|air travel midwest in the Label column.

Remove specific labels from an object

To remove specific labels that are applied directly to an object, remove the labels from the Label column. For example, for the keyword chicago flights, the Label column contains flights | air travel midwest | summer sale. To remove the flights and summer sale labels but keep air travel midwest, change the Label column to air travel midwest.

Remove all labels from an object

To remove all labels that are applied directly to an object, replace the contents of the Label column with remove_content.

Note that remove_content does not remove inherited labels. For example, any labels that a keyword inherits from an ad group or campaign will still apply. Only those labels that were applied directly to the keyword will be removed.
