"Must Specify One of Search CPC, Placement CPC, or Placement CPM.” (Google only)

What is the issue?

During a bulk upload, an object or objects fail and return this error message:

Error: Must specify one of Search CPC, Placement CPC, or Placement CPM.

What causes the issue?

Possible reasons for this error:

  1. You are attempting to edit or split a group or campaign that is using Google’s Conversion Optimizer.
  2. Bid amounts are set to zero.

How to fix the issue

Just follow these steps:

  1. If using Google’s Conversion Optimizer, you will need to implement a workaround in order for our system to sync with Google. This workaround is needed since our system requires a minimum bid to be made and currently does not sync with Google Optimizer bids.

    To do this, upload a temporary search bid and re-upload your bulk sheet. The search bid will be posted to the publisher where Google will change the bid back to 0 and the change will sync back to the Platform.

  1. Specify a bid amount and re-upload.
