Transferring an advertising campaign from Yandex.Direct to Google AdWords

Today we will talk about the transfer of advertising campaigns between advertising services. It is not so easy to transfer the RK from one system to another, I take into account the big difference in functionality.

Use AdWords and Commander. If you figured out how to export campaigns from Google to Yandex, then you can easily perform the reverse action. Moreover, there are 2 methods for uploading a campaign from Direct to Google at once.

To export a campaign from Yandex, use the Campaign Management interface. Choose the one you want and download the file. Or use the second method - export using the Commander. To do this, use the following chain of actions Application-Export to File-Groups. Everything is saved in CSV format.

Don't forget to adapt keywords and declarations. To facilitate the preparation of data, use Excel spreadsheets: divide the information into two.

Then you should prepare keywords. All keywords are transferred to 1 sheet. To do this, provide certain columns:

• Campaign — the name of the selected advertising campaign;
• Ad Group - copied column with ad groups;
• Keyword keys.

Keep in mind that in AdWords all minuses must be removed. Also, don't forget that square brackets, ! and "" work differently in Yandex. Then you should check if the keywords match.

In October, the creation of regular text ads in AdWords will be closed. Therefore, it is worth knowing how to transfer ads in different formats.

• ad group Ad Group;
• headlines;
• description lines with a maximum of 38 characters Description Line 1 and 2;

• Ad Group;
• Headlines 1;
• Headline 2 text;
