Change campaign names simultaneously in multiple Google Ads accounts
Start Now!
Want to change a lot of campaign names in multiple Google Ads accounts across a MCC? This script can help you out! Just fill in the old and new campaign names in a Google Sheet and run the script. Read on to find out more.
If you want to change your Google Ads campaign names in bulk, the Google Ads Editor, unfortunately, cannot help out. The campaign name is used by the Google Ads Editor to identify campaigns and you can't upload a bulk edit without the campaign name. Furthermore, not everyone is using tooling (like Search Ads 360) which makes bulk editing of campaign names possible. Changing campaign names across multiple account is a request I've received a few times now, mainly because of the roll-out of naming conventions. So let's check how this script works!
Setting up this script is pretty straightforward. Just follow these steps and your up and running in no-time:
Make sure you don't use single quotes in your campaign names (e.g. A'dam). This script does edit Search, Shopping, Display and Video campaigns. pMax is not (yet) supported.
Scheduling: No need to schedule this script. Just run it once to change the campaign names.
