AdParamService (v201809)

Use this service to manage ad parameters, which let you quickly update parameterized values (such as prices or inventory levels) in a text ad. Whereas updates to regular ad text can take hours to go live, updates to parameterized values go live in minutes.

To define where parameterized values appear in an ad, you insert {param#:default-value} tags in your ad text. You can use these tags in any line of display text, and also in the destination URL. When the text ad is displayed, values in these tags are replaced by the ad parameter's insertion text. default-value specifies the string to display if one of the following conditions is true:

  • The parameter has not been set.
  • The parameter's insertion text is too long for the display line.
  • The ad is being shown on the Google Display Network.
