for each additional ad group you want to build. Associate each of these new ad
groups with the correct campaign by matching the “new C1” “new C2” campaign ID
(in blue below).

matching your campaign ID.

blue). Pro tip: ad groups must have the same campaign objective as their parent
campaign.

campaign ID column & “i31248553” for the funding source ID. Ad group funding source

• Leave the ad group ID column blank. Upon upload, the Ads editor will create new ad
group IDs for you.
