You can schedule bulksheet uploads to take place at a specified frequency and time. Additionally, you can use Google’s sFTP , a Google-hosted sFTP endpoint which detects changes to bulksheets and automatically uploads them to the new Search Ads 360.
Scheduled upload sources
Different sources for your scheduled uploads can be used:
- The Search Ads 360 UI: Search Ads 360 provides a single place to upload, review errors, and check the status. You can upload files in a variety of formats, including XLS, XLSX, CSV, TSV, or provide a link to a Google sheet. This is useful for performing "round tripping" by downloading the current data set, amending it as required, and then uploading the edited bulksheet.
- HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): Search Ads 360 connects to a secure endpoint to retrieve the bulksheet to be uploaded from your server.
- sFTP (secure File Transfer Protocol): If you frequently upload bulksheets, you may want to use third-party software (called an FTP client) to upload bulksheets to an sFTP endpoint instead of manually uploading through the Search Ads 360 UI, or let Search Ads 360 connect to your sFTP server to retrieve the bulksheet Available options:
- In-UI Bulksheet within Search Ads 360: Learn more about the In-UI bulksheet and how to add and edit keywords and upload ads using it.
