Google Ads API v23.2 launched
Google released v23.2 of its Ads API with updates aimed at campaign management and audience planning, changes that could affect how electricians scale paid search and local campaigns. The technical update signals further refinement in ad targeting for local service advertisers. (seositestool.com)
v23.2 adds a new VideoEnhancement resource that records enhancement-specific video metadata, including whether a video ad is Google-generated or advertiser-provided. (developers.google.com(developers.google.com)) The Planning surface now supports custom AND/OR combinations of entities, topics and audiences in GenerateTrendingInsights and GenerateCreatorInsights, and ReachPlanService.GenerateReachForecast gained new targetable age ranges such as AGE_RANGE_21_44 and AGE_RANGE_21_49. (developers.google.com(developers.google.com)) AdGroupAd.start_date_time and AdGroupAd.end_date_time fields were introduced to allow datetime-level scheduling constraints for supported ad group types, letting ad delivery be constrained inside a campaign’s broader date range. (developers.google.com(developers.google.com)) Reach planning updates include a new youtube_select_lineup_targeting field (to replace youtube_select_lineups), the addition of IN_STREAM_NON_SKIPPABLE_THIRTY_SECONDS as a surface option, and the ability to include clicks in Forecast for Demand Gen Max Clicks. (developers.google.com(developers.google.com)) Google hosted a v23.2 walkthrough and live Q&A around March 26, 2026 and published updated client libraries and code examples to support the new features. (ads-developers.googleblog.com(ads-developers.googleblog.com)) Local Services campaign documentation and the Local Services API pages reference the v23.2 rollout and point manager-account users toward API-driven management for portfolios of Local Services Ads.
