Targeted countries or campaigns more than 25

[joseph_lee]

I would like to set different bids and budget for different target countries, it is utmost important for me. I have about 80 target countries, ideally, bids and budget are different from all the 80 countries, it mean each country has its own bids and budget. But the problem now is we could only select countries in Campaign and there are at most 25 campaigns in one account, is it possible to set countries under Ad Group or Keywords? if not, even if I have only ONE keyword, I need 80 campaigns in order to set different bids and budget for 80 target countries. Are there any ways to set different bids and budget for each of 80 target countries?

You would have to do that at the campaign level, but you can write to Support and tell them what you want to do, and request more campaigns.

Is it possible that AdWords provide more campaigns? I wrote to Support before but it seems unlikely they could provide.

I have accounts with 100 campaigns or more. They can work with you, but if it is a new account, you might have to kind of prove yourself before they do it.

Something I saw or heard once gave me to understand that they look at the history of the account to make sure you know what you're doing and that there's a valid reason before granting an increase in campaigns. In my case, it was because the client has so many different types of product lines and products, they could only be logically handled in a lot more than 25 campaigns.

Joseph, i think that if they don't accept your request for including more campaigns, you should open like 3 more accounts (each with 25 campaigns and 1 with 5) to be able to target the countries properly.
Google allows that and also you could open an MCC to manage the accounts easier.

I contacted with Google Support but they replied it is currently not possible to have more than 25 campaigns in a single account, they also recommended creating more than
one AdWords account, but several accounts would be definitely very troublesome to manage.

Joseph, it won't be that hard if you open an MCC, try that option out, you can use accounts reports very easily; you just have to take some time to figure it out
