In this episode, we’ll explore field compatibility in the Google Ads Query
Language (GAQL) and explain why certain segments, metrics, and resources can or
cannot be present in the same GAQL query. This episode builds upon prior
episodes in the GAQL playlist to demonstrate how to use the
GoogleAdsFieldService to determine which fields are selectable with each other.
We’ll then flip our attention to the Google Ads Query Builder, an interactive,
browser-based tool in the Google Ads API documentation site, and explain how to
use this tool to easily determine field compatibility and build GAQL queries.
