Using bulk uploads is fine for premium accounts but for less than £3k per month clients, how do you upload good but large campaigns?

We've started to take on lots more of these smaller accounts but is there no way of bulk uploading for accounts spending <$5k pm? Have I missed something?

TIA

If you get an agency rep, you can use the same rep to bulk upload all your smaller campaigns.

In the U.S. (can't comment on other countries), for agencies, Google doesn't look at the individual client spends, they look at your total management spend.

Must depend on the agency, cause they won't touch anything under here either 5 or 10k per month that is in a separate account. Use to help with everything though.

I just use microsoft excel, if you set it up you can really get alot done, its much easier to use than the google interface.

Exactly our experience when we spoke to our rep who's generally excellent.

Maybe I should have sent a bigger Xmas present...... hmmm, will try again in Jan....

Seriously though, is this not a major flaw in smaller account management? Has there been any clues that this is a forthcoming tool? Its badly needed.

How do you upload to AdWords from excel?

I think the bulk upload features will continue to be expanded upon.

At present, Google has a switch they can flip on an account so you can bulk outpost it (i.e. you can get the entire account in an excel format without going through your rep).

This is in beta, and is expected to be expanded upon in the future.

Are these accounts linked to your MCC accounts or completely seperate?

I don't think it matters? If IO's are not going through the normal channels then "no can do" is our experience...
