Hey friends! Got a bunch of changes that you need to make to your adCenter account? While you can certainly do these individually, adCenter does provide you with the option to make changes in bulk. I’ll walk you through a few of these options here.

Creating New Campaigns in Bulk

Some of you may not have campaigns in other search engines, or perhaps you want to start fresh in adCenter. adCenter provides you with templates that can help you easily create your campaigns in bulk.

1. Upon logging into your account, go to the Campaigns tab.

2. Click on Import Campaigns.

3. Click on either the Excel or CSV template (whichever you prefer) to export the template to your computer.

4. Here is a screen shot of what the template looks like. You will be able to add campaigns, ad groups, ads and keywords all on the same bulk sheet.

5. When you finish editing the template, save it to your computer.

6. You can then return to the Import Campaigns section, click on Import file…, locate the file you just created and your new campaign(s) will be uploaded into your account.

Importing Campaigns into adCenter from other search engines

Alternatively, you can also export a report from another online advertising program, save it to your computer, and use the adCenter Web UI to import those campaigns into adCenter.

1. From the Campaign section of your account, click on Import Campaigns.

2. You can click on Import file… and search for the exported report on your computer. Select the report and click Open. Your newly imported campaign will now appear in your campaign list.

3. Click on the Campaign that you just imported.

4. Click on Edit Campaign Settings to add a budget.

5. You’ll see the list of ad groups here in Draft status.

6. To advance the ad groups from Draft status to Active, select the ad groups you want to Submit, and click on Submit.
