Ad Group Company Name Criterion Record - Bulk
Defines an ad group company name criterion that can be uploaded and downloaded in a bulk file.
You can target people at a specific company according to LinkedIn by setting the Profile Id.
Microsoft Advertising applies a union of both campaign and ad group level profile criterions. However, if you apply a criterion with the same profile ID e.g., target or exclude the same company name at both the campaign and ad group level, then the ad group level criterion will override the campaign level criterion.
Tip
For an overview of how to use target criterions, see Show Ads to Your Target Audience.
You can download all Ad Group Company Name Criterion records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of AdGroupTargetCriterions in the DownloadCampaignsByAccountIds or DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds service request. Additionally the download request must include the EntityData scope. For more details about the Bulk service including best practices, see Bulk Download and Upload.

If you are using the Bing Ads SDKs for .NET, Java, or Python, you can save time using the BulkServiceManager to upload and download the BulkAdGroupCompanyNameCriterion object, instead of calling the service operations directly and writing custom code to parse each field in the bulk file.
var uploadEntities = new List<BulkEntity>();
// Map properties in the Bulk file to the BulkAdGroupCompanyNameCriterion
var bulkAdGroupCompanyNameCriterion = new BulkAdGroupCompanyNameCriterion
{
// 'Ad Group' column header in the Bulk file is read-only
AdGroupName = null,
// 'Campaign' column header in the Bulk file is read-only
CampaignName = null,
// 'Client Id' column header in the Bulk file
ClientId = "ClientIdGoesHere",
// 'Profile' column header in the Bulk file is read-only
ProfileName = null,
// Map properties in the Bulk file to the
// BiddableAdGroupCriterion object of the Campaign Management service.
BiddableAdGroupCriterion = new BiddableAdGroupCriterion
{
// 'Parent Id' column header in the Bulk file
AdGroupId = adGroupIdKey,
Criterion = new ProfileCriterion
{
// 'Profile Id' column header in the Bulk file
ProfileId = 0,
// Maps to the 'Ad Group Company Name Criterion' record name in the Bulk file
ProfileType = ProfileType.CompanyName
},
CriterionBid = new BidMultiplier
{
// 'Bid Adjustment' column header in the Bulk file
Multiplier = 20,
},
// 'Id' column header in the Bulk file
Id = null,
// 'Status' column header in the Bulk file
Status = AdGroupCriterionStatus.Active,
}
};
uploadEntities.Add(bulkAdGroupCompanyNameCriterion);
var entityUploadParameters = new EntityUploadParameters
{
Entities = uploadEntities,
ResponseMode = ResponseMode.ErrorsAndResults,
ResultFileDirectory = FileDirectory,
ResultFileName = DownloadFileName,
OverwriteResultFile = true,
};
var uploadResultEntities = (await BulkServiceManager.UploadEntitiesAsync(entityUploadParameters)).ToList();
