Imagine having to spend two hours per day on adding radius targeting to your campaigns:
1. Grab a coffee while the Google Ads interface loads your campaign view
2. Click campaign settings
3. Stare at the screen in full awe, not understanding why it takes ages to load
4. Click locations
5. Click advanced search
6. Lookup target
7. Set radius
8. Click save
9. Navigate to the next campaign
10. Wait for at least 5 seconds, seconds that feel like forever, for the page to load
11. Click locations, click advanced search, lookup target, set radius, click save
12. Rinse, repeat
This. For two hours. Every day.
Some time ago, one of my clients complained about this and asked me whether we could automate it using scripts.
He was looking for a solution that automagically adds radius targets based on location names (cities) in the campaign name.
Good news: you can use scripts to add radius targets in bulk!
Here’s a code snippet to help you get started:

You can use my Google Ads Scripts Sensei to create the script for you.
